After noting that the contrast between President Biden's recent appearance in Helsinki where he welcomed Finland as a new NATO member, and the disgraceful appearance there by the Malignant Loser in 2018 kowtowing to Vladimir Putin, national security conservative Max Boot closes his latest Washington Post article with this:
"The very real possibility that Trump could win back the presidency in 2024 fills U.S. allies with dread — and offers hope to U.S. enemies. John Bolton, who was Trump’s national security adviser, has said Trump came close to pulling out of NATO in 2018 and would do so if elected to another term. It’s also a good bet that Trump would try to stop the flow of U.S. weapons to Ukraine. Indeed, the very prospect that Trump could return to office encourages Putin to prolong the conflict.
Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia and vice chairman of Putin’s security council, said in May that Trump “is a good guy but cowardly” and that “historically, it has always been easier to work with Republicans.” Medvedev acknowledged that, from the Kremlin’s perspective, “the main thing” is that Biden (“the guy with dementia”) not win reelection.
So, if you believe in making America, rather than Russia, 'great again,' it’s imperative for Biden to win in 2024 and maintain the policies that have so greatly strengthened NATO and Ukraine. As long as the MAGA wing remains as strong as it is, Republicans cannot be trusted on national security policy." (our emphasis)
Also, watching the "MAGA wing" perform at the Republican House "weaponization" hearings last week, where they viciously defamed the FBI with lies, lunatic conspiracies and false accusations aimed at pleasing the Malignant Loser and our foreign adversaries, it's not hard to see that they represent a serious national security threat to the U.S.
