The fact that this is making the rounds a lot lately means they are going to be used...whether Russia actually uses them or not... 
Yeah, I'm cynical. |

Putin's yet to engage in mass genocide, as Stalin and Hitler did, so the answer is obviously no.

The US is flexing it's intelligence gathering apparatus.
Same way we busted them up over using conscripts and the downing of those VDV IL76's.
To use a football analogy; we're showing we don't need to steal signals because we can already read the coaches play sheet and listen in on his headset.

Germany to purchase 35 updated Eurofighters and F35s as part of their initial $100b defense splurge.
Finland NATO membership is polling at 60+% domestically.
Putin's invasion quickly turning in to the biggest self-own so far this century.

See...Trump knew...if Germany had only listened to Trump years ago...
You keep saying how Trump wanted out of NATO...thought NATO was obsolete...but why was he telling Germany that they should pay more? Pay more for what? An obsolete alliance?

TIL: Trump was telling NATO members like Germany to start paying their fair share...and telling Germany NOT to be so reliant on Russian gas...while at the same time, being a RUSSIAN ASSET and a PUTIN PUPPET and wanting to eliminate NATO.

Because Trump didn't even understand how NATO worked. That was demonstrated during the press releases surrounding the convention.
It's also been widely circulated he planned to withdraw from the alliance in his second term. His NSA Advisor and DefSec have both confirmed that.

I'm not even sure what it is you're trying to argue here.
You seem pretty hung up on him being a Russian Asset.
I viewed him as mostly an extremely useful idiot.

Widely circulated BS from mainstream propaganda?
He knew all too well how USA was subsidizing NATO and just wanted to make it work the way it was designed.
Please show something too substantiate your claims....

Someone who saw an alliance as obsolete and useless and not worth even belonging too wouldn't be pushing member nations to up their contributions to said alliance.
Neither would a useful idiot of Putin.

As opposed to BS from the many right wing propaganda publications?
You know, the ones Boxers like to cite:
The Federalist
Epoch Times
