    Default Re: NATO during a Trump Presidency: Stay, Pay, or why don't you all just f-f-fade aw

    I know Fragony's BBF Junker is rubbing his hands with glee now Trump has given him the mandate and Europeans the potential appetite for the European Army and Superstate if he enacts half of what he is suggesting, and the potential consequences of these actions.

    On another note, it is no secret that NATO is the covert-name of American hegemony over Europe. By pulling back on it, America is no longer in control of it. So it depends on the foreign policy you want enact. American hegemony over Europe, or a stronger more independent Europe.

    This is similar to other parts of the world, such as SATO could lead to the constitutional change for the re-armament of Japan, and escalate tensions with North Korea. This is very evident especially when he suggested just to give the Nuke to South Korea and Japan.

    Trump administration also has the potential of giving Russia greater free reign in foreign affairs, leading to greater loss of American hegemony, and the fall of the American Empire. The Fall of this Empire will be more accelerated and China may even play a greater role in foreign affairs, expanding their influence even more aggressively than what they are currently doing.

    So it boils down to this, What will Trump actually do in office compared to what he said he will do? Smartest thing would be for him to backtrack on almost every remark he made, and actually end up as a half-decent president, especially considering he has both the houses.
