Exactly this. It won’t be longer than a day, is my prediction. The moment Rump reenters the White House is the moment that Putin invades Poland.

Given the rate at which Russia is losing men and materiel, he may not have enough to do the job. Attrition of our foe is something the Rs don't either understand (or maybe want); nor do they seem to subscribe to the idea that, by supplying arms to Ukraine, we are replacing ours with new stock and keeping factories running. (I'm not a fan of the Military Industrial Complex, but do acknowledge the fact that there is strength in power and power in strength.)

Yes, and that is exactly why he will use his trump card (pardon the pun): nuclear arms. Don't forget that Putin doesn't care jack sh*t about human lives, be it Americans, Europeans or his own people. And I'm afraid that Europe is too divided to stand up against that without the US to support us...

Just what everyone wants. A third land war in Europe. Just because the US may or may not have left NATO, doesn’t mean that the rest of the European bloc will have left also.

Picture it. All of the NATO alliance on one side. The US and Russia on the other.

Yeah, no. Yet one more reason why Big Orange must lose in November.

His followers simply don't get it. They don't understand the importance of NATO and the need to provide aid to Ukraine.

Exactly! The fragile bit of peace we have hangs by a thread, and the Orange Blob would gladly destroy even that if it fits his ego.
