Steve Bannon describes what a second Donald Trump Presidency would look like | LBC

Steve Bannon, the outspoken former adviser to Donald Trump, has branded NATO a "protectorate, not an alliance" as he called for European elites to "pitch in".
Mr Bannon, who wants a less interventionist US foreign policy, told LBC's Andrew Marr that NATO, which was set up after the Second World War to provide security against the Soviet Union, had become "an American security guarantee" for Europe.
NATO member states are meant to put 2% of their GDP into their annual military budgets. But just seven of 30 NATO member states in 2022, the latest figures available - despite Russia invading Ukraine, a NATO neighbour in February that year.
The seven who contributed 2% or more were the US, UK, Greece, Poland and the three Baltic states. Eight members met the required military spending rate the year before.
Mr Bannon, a controversial figure for his right-wing views, denied that Mr Trump wanted to "cut ties" with NATO if he regained the US presidency in November.
Mr Trump got his re-election campaign off to a strong start on Monday by winning the Iowa caucus of Republican candidates for the party's nomination.
Mr Bannon, who served in Mr Trump's White House from 2016-2017, told Andrew:"What we’ve always argued for, and I argued with the national security advisors of the individual countries, is we want it to be an alliance. That means, like England and like Poland, you have to meet the minimum of the 2% of GDP to throw into the pot."
He added that "more importantly, you have to have a military that has interoperability - it’s actually an alliance. It's not an alliance right now. It's basically an American security guarantee of European freedom and that can’t happen.
"You can’t have countries in Europe that have healthcare, six week vacations, pension funds, and the American people have none of that, because we have a trillion-dollar defence budget."

They were made up and false. He did it even though he was always having to deal with non-MAGA establishment neocon stuffed shirt republicans, besides the Dems, who also worked to try to undermine him. But MAGA has been busy these last 3 years overcoming both.

If you want justice and rooting out the rot of the deep state, it requires someone who has spent his entire life fighting for justice against powerful corrupt elites. It requires someone with deep and vast knowledge of the inner workings of the government, CIA, NSA, CDC, NIH, etc. and exactly who within those beurocracies needs to be surgically removed. There is only one man with the surgical capability to accomplish this - and if you listen to podcasts interviewing R F K jr. you’ll quickly see who this is…and you’ll also learn a lot of fascinating secret details about how this country has been run. R F K is the remedy to the rot, and that’s why the corporate oligarchic uniparty fears him more than anyone. They would much prefer Trump.

And Trump had his chance. Didn't he tell Hillary in their second debate that if he won that he'd direct his attorney general to appoint a special counsel to investigate her? And Trump FAILED to do what he said he would do. He said the Clintons had been through enough. Also during the 2016 election cycle Hillary said if Trump won that THEY all would hang. Doesn't take much of a stretch of the imagination to see that the THEY that Hillary was talking about was the SWAMP. So we have two campaign slogans, LOCK HER UP & DRAIN THE SWAMP that were just that.... campaign slogans. Trump didn't follow through and the country is a bad state because of it.

The only way we will ever get control of the budget process is to go to 0 base budgeting rather than the base line budgeting now in use. Baseline budgeting is where all the many bureaucracies start with the baseline budget of the previous year, and add a built in increase. they go into a spending spree at the end of each year to be sure to spend everything in their budget to justify the next budget years increase. Zero based budgeting requires each bureau to justify every dollar they are allocated.

"Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion."

I think the fact he talked about 3000 people who are being trained at the moment to step in as administration IF trump wins, who don't need senate confirmation, to be one of the most worrying things he said. And he said it so matter of fact. trump won't win in 2024. Iowa means nothing other than trump doesn't have 50% of the vote of his own party.
