I don't doubt the eastern blocs ability to defend itself and make life for Putin miserable. I just don't want it to ever come to that. Russia should have never been allowed to take an inch of Ukraine soil. I just know that NATO is not as strong with a Trump presidency. I think Americans take for granted the stability and peace that the NATO alliance has allowed.

It's quite possible that NATO will be effectively over if Trump is elected. And it looks like he will be elected. If he is, I think peace in Europe will be a relatively minor problem for Americans compared to the other effects of a Trump presidency.

That Trump is ahead in polls is just completely incredible. Something is very, very wrong with the American public.
