    Wonder if conservatives knew they were voting to destroy all America’s allegiances. Or if their brains were incapable of thinking that far ahead.

    I’m gonna go with option 2.

        Unfortunately it’s not a position only MAGA takes. Horse shoe theory is real. There are extreme lefties who hate NATO and EU so much that they rather see the west fall completely apart and fall into chaos, since they think they will come on top when we crawl from underneath the rubble.

          Right but is that ‘horse shoe theory’ because it just sounds like there are multiple reasons to support things.

          Horse shoe theory is nonsense.

          I dislike NATO since its a US protection racket and I dislike EU because they’re forcing chat control and cowtowing to the US.

          I dont want the ‘west to fall’, I want to be free and sovereign from the US’ war machine.

          I don’t believe we’ll naturally rise above if things collapse, but I do believe we’ll be dead before too long if the US continues forward with its acts.

          Being pincered by Russia on the east and the US on the west is a pretty terrifying concept - if only China would save us.

        Have you talked to a Republican or MAGA?

        They cheer on destroying relations with Europe.

        They have been convinced that the entire world is somehow abusing the poor widdle usa.
