I don't think this administration even cares about America's military advantage. If they did, they wouldn't have started the term by casually insulting the sovereignty of two NATO allies.

This administration is a large group of people stripping the copper wire from our walls and stealing our catalytic converters, and they are able to do this because they won by appealing to all our worst impulses.

Democracy is the idea that the voters know what they want, and they deserve to get it good and hard - H. L. Mencken

It’s a pretty perilous (and condescending) habit to believe that when voters side with you they’re exercising common sense and when they don’t they were tricked. It’s indicative of a lack of insight into other groups in society.

> when they don’t they were tricked.

I'm not saying they were tricked at all. They were promised an administration that would strip the country down to the studs and be hateful and vicious to the most vulnerable people in society, and that's what we're getting.

We'll see if they go full Yarvin and completely delete the Constitution, nobody voted for that.

The US' military advantage has nothing to do with NATO. Lets make that clear right now. NATO would be just a four letter acronym without the US military.
