    Redux of WW2 Era?..........Same Garbage Arguments Being Recycled in Present Day

    It's like we're trapped in a time loop. We're just repeatedly playing the roles of Charles Lindbergh and Robert Taft.

    It appears that we are being clobbered with the two following suppositions:

    1. A supranational force is needed to preserve democratic ideals globally against despotic regimes likes Russia.

    2. The lives of oppressed peoples everywhere are dependent on the existence of NATO.

    So let us take an account of what is being smashed by Donald Trump. In viewing our European allies as a “foe” intent on exploitation, Trump is smashing an alliance that has encouraged peaceful relations within Europe and jointly resisted terrorism and Russian aggression. By questioning NATO’s Article 5 and the principle of collective security, he is smashing a system that has turned a continent prone to war and genocide into a flawed but functioning community of free nations. By ignoring and denying the moral power of American ideals and expressing a deeply un-American dictator envy, Trump is smashing our sense of national mission along with the hopes of oppressed people everywhere.

    And for what? For a form of extreme nationalism that serves someone else’s nation? For a definition of strength that trades away the tremendous advantage of our defining ideals? This is a work of demolition without the inconvenience of new architecture. Yet among his Republican supporters, none dare call it idiocy.
