I think your base assumption is invalid…

The world wants to unite to become one big super power

Why? The US agenda is forever vocal.

USA ≠ The World (no matter what some of them may think…)

I believe so which is why Trump reined it in

I've got a memory of him saying he would leave NATO. I might be confusing myself with something else

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/12/p...ser/index.html

Your previous example was in the past tense, the current evidence is in the (potential) future, which he can't do anyway...

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 prohibits the President from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO without approval of a two-third Senate super-majority or an act of Congress.

Bless your intelligence which I sadly don't have. I thought he said something about NATO during his first term as President, it may have been withdrawing from something else. Those links was all I found off Google.

I guess that's not happening then. The senate won't vote to withdraw. They love global domination.

We don't want them to withdraw anyway, they've been underwriting European defence for decades.

tbf, it was mainly to help provide a buffer/road bump against the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War - enlightened self-interest…

His character and temperament are wholly unsuited to high office, which is why most of the people who served in his administration from 2017 to 2021 have refused to back him, some even going so far as to publicly back his Democrat opponent - as have a number of prominent GOP state governors.

And still……..he comes across as infinitely more capable and electable than his opponent.

She is a vacuous, puppet.

Unfortunately, a capable criminal (he’s not a criminal but I’ll play) is more preferable than the anointed successor of a presidential coup.

The election looks absurdly close. Literally, 50/50 going into the final week and a bit.

There is also now a good chance that Harris could win the electoral college but lose the popular vote which would be crazy: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/25/u...-election.html

Harris is a terrible candidate. Dementia Biden or Vacuous Harris……you’re getting the same administration.

The problem with American elections now though is that they cannot secure the ballots.

It’s far too open to fraud and manipulation, either side can call foul and dispute the result.
