Question: How many of our NATO allies sent troops to Afghanistan.

Answer: All of them.

Question: How many NATO allies were attacked during 9/11?
Answer: None. But they supported us because WE were attacked. They sent sons and daughters to die in a shit hole on the other side of the world.... because WE were attacked.

That is what is known as having an ally.

Question: How many troops did Russia and Putin send?
Answer: None. Instead, they chose to take advantage of us and invade Georgia, Crimea and the Eastern Ukraine and then peddle in our elections.

The question isn't "Do people (in the U.S.) really want to go to war with Russia?". The question is, "Why does the government of Russia want to go to war with us?".

As for Trump trolling the nation, you may be correct. So... my 11 year old son is more mature than the 72 year old POTUS? Good God!!
