Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but as a NATO member, isn't that what POTUS, i.e. America, is supposed to do? Isn't that what NATO is all about: mutual defence?

A commitment is a commitment. At least it is if you're an adult.

Is it just me, or does WWIII sound more likely now? We already have a graphic picture of just how badly the UK will be affected from Threads. Contrary to what I think Trump believes, just like that guy in By Dawn's Early Light, who was a very poor choice of President, no-one can win a nuclear war. No-one.
I agree. When Trump defunds, we may have to do the same as we may simply not have the funds.

Putin will take over Ukraine and then look for his next target. I also fear that he wants to take over more than the old USSR.

From what i've read Trumps idea to stop the war seems to be give part of Ukrainia to Russis in order for the remainder to be left alone. Even if he agrees to this, Putin will eventually want it all as well as other countries. Once he has a part of Ukrainia, places like Poland will feel and actually be threatened IMO.

If NATO then become involved we could then see an all out world war.
