Everyone is on and on about how the whole failing of NATO is some broader geostrategic thing, but I suspect there are only two aspects to it:

1. the MAGA fascists have a natural ideological ally in Russia - so it's a political, not a national, agenda, at least not until elections are rigged/cancelled

2. Trump cannot understand the concept of an alliance like NATO. Like Putin and the Russians he understands force and the threat of it. If he can strongarm somebody, that's a relationship he can understand. If he is told to back away or there will be consequences, that he can understand. But a relationship where mutual interests are served in a (compared to his brain capacity) complex way - that he cannot compute, and if he cannot compute it then he must be taken advantage of.

Fixed!

American Revolution reference, the US needs all the support it can get against the Brits.  :P

Yes, that would be the next 'logical' step, make the Brits the ultimate baddies in MAGA world, then he could pile in with lots of royal family/lizard conspiracy junk. :Bowler:

I feel a bit sad about Farage, who would be left out of the deal.  :P

Of course not.  As the MAGAts' favorite half-assed painting corporal once said, "Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless".

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.
