He's an ignoramus who riffs on whatever pops into his head, some of which have stuck and become oft repeated "policy" inside his head.

This entertains his ignorant voting base, gives the press something to yammer about, and triggers the "libs," but how much of it actually translates to reality? Annexing Greenland and Canada, renaming the Gulf of Mexico? It's like the reality tv show that brought him into everyone's living rooms in the first place.

But it does have an impact in the real world, rendering the USA an unstable unreliable partner, undermining the NATO alliance.

Putin smiles as his investment keeps paying off.

while the oligarchs run rampant through our government, using vulture capitalist tactics to extract the maximum amount of money that they can.

One wishes the damn M$M would stop taking the bait - but then they are now owned by the very oligarchs who are pillaging our Treasury, so not much chance of that.

The real powers behind the throne

According to wikipedia, the ENTIRE US military expenditure is 3.4% of GDP..
To be clear, it's NOT that the US contributes 3.4% of its GDP to NATOs annual budget. USAToday cites the Council of Foreign Relations for its stats, but even there, the CFR is only supplying
the gross military expenditures as a percentage of GDP and not teasing out what percentage of the gross goes specifically to NATO defense.

IOW, while the 3.5% figure is reproduced in both the wikipedia entry and here:
https://www.cfr.org/expert-brief/nato-countries-reach-spending-milestone-2-percent-enough

Even the CFR chart describes gross %GDP spending by nations and does not support the USAToday article.

He understands PAY ME! and believes those who don't can be sued into submission.

will come from Russia and the Europeans will not only be sacrificing their soldiers but their cities, infrastructure and civilian population. The Europeans will suffer with that far more than we do and it will last far longer before they recover. It will be theirs that get hit first.

Unless the war goes nuclear, it won't be our country that gets attacked by drones, short distant missiles or airplane attacks into the heartland. If it does go nuclear, it won't matter anyway because the world will be devastated.

Look at Ukraine. While they can hit some of the targets in Russia, the size of Russia allows them to spread out their defenses and infrastructure if only they knew how to fight a war. Thank goodness they don't.
