I used to be surprised people kept walking into obvious traps...
Now I'm just numb to it.
Like, your big suggestion on how to get trump back... Is to do exactly what he wants?!
"Trump wants to exit from NATO" is the big meme. He loves Putin, perhaps because of a pee tape is another.
Because US has colonial control over all NATO members, NATO is seriously considering a 50% to 150% increase in military spending, most of it to buy US weapons, for purposes of completely destroying their economy/social safety nets, all of which to force Russia to still outproduce them militarily. The delusion that US controlled NATO is not behaving under pure demonism in false fear of Russia is the self destruction submission to US. The US only needs exclusive, not NATO, control over Greenland in order to threaten Europe directly. Greenland is far away from Russia, and like Canada, a NATO/NORAD ally is fully committed to intercepting ICBMs that go over its land.... so far.
There is 0 negative political opposition in US if Trump succeeds in annexing Canada or other countries or in significantly subjugating EU/NATO to high military tributes. Dressing up basic self respect to ally with countries who have never threatened any of us, and were balanced trade partners prior to 2022 as "giving Trump what he wants" is simply/pure treason through "Putin Derangement Syndrome". Canada/EU was always on wrong side of war on Russia, as proven by current US policy. Our sycophancy is not rewarded.
If you dream of Trump is devoted to Putin, then emptying NORAD of defenses to give Putin a clear ICBM shot into Permean basin, because Trump wants that, then Canada gets to settle its trade war by giving something Trump wants.
There needs to be zero tolerance for the BS that the US protects Canada. It is Canada protecting US, and US must pay heavily for that privilege.
Your heart is in the right place, I think.
You just don't seem to know about what you're talking about.
