What would it mean for the US, to leave NATO? 1: The USA would save $3.5 billion it currently spends on NATO. 2: It would lose much of its trade with NATO countries. 3: It would gain a million unemployed military personnel. All needing to be returned to the USA (with their families), and accommodated, and financed in some way. 4: It would gain $billions worth of redundant military equipment, needing to be shipped back and secured somewhere. Equipment suitable for war in Europe would be useless when 3,000 miles away across a vast ocean. 5: It would lose $billions of arms sales to NATO. 6: It would be unable to make military flights over the 31 remaining NATO countries. Such would be an act of war against NATO. 7: It would lose strategic offshore bases around the world. 8: It would have to re-negotiate its relationship with Canada, including overland access to Alaska. 9: The USA would have to re-write, its defense strategy. It would then have to retrain most of its personnel. 10: It would still have to defend the Atlantic coast, but without the aid of the 31 friends it currently has.... ....That’s just the visible tip of the iceberg. There is a vast amount of covert and intangible military activity spread amongst the allies. The 5-Eyes spy network, communication networks, good will, the list goes on. In short, it would be a political, economic, and defense disaster.

[@WhiteRoseOfResistance]

If Trump were to annex Greenland, it would also mean him giving the green light for Russia to keep invading and expanding. The same green light would be given to China, to invade and annex Taiwan. But if one person would be insane enough, to even consider a scenario like that, it would be Trump.

The speaker at 34:49 (Lavoie) said regarding centers of power is grossly incorrect and biased because the EU does not qualify as a center of power. The reason why Trump feels the need to make so many derogatory statements and interfering in E.U and NATO politics is proof of the fact that the EU, NATO and most of the other European nations have a somewhat vassal status with respect to their relationship with the U.S. France has complained about this before, Russia does not take European nations seriously because of this undisputed fact as well. And this is why European nations should use Trump’s presidency as an opportunity to reinvent their own foreign policy, take greater responsibility of their own defense, and become truly sovereign. The centers of power at the moment are the United States and her allies, China/Russia, and the non aligned movement championed by India.
