The most Trump supporters hoped of Trump re:anti-war sentiment was backing away from Russian conflict.
Everything else was on the table.
When redpilling my friends the HRC=WW3 angle got a lot of positive feedback. Especially from my Puerto Rican and Palestinian friends.
Russia conflict is on the table, don't kid yourself, Mr. Ivan ain't going away, America ain't pulling out of NATO, that doesn't mean World War Three, but Cold War 2.0 remains in effect, make no mistake, because Trump ain't chucking the arms race under the bus, bet dat.
Did he say he was going cease developing and deploying BMD? Prompt Global Strike? B-21? X-37? No? OK then, buckle up for more dancing and dicing with Mr. Ivan, baked into that cake.
Doesn't actually have anything to do with Article V, folks, Cold War 2.0 is all about an arms race, and as Trump continues to engage in one, Mr. Ivan will continue to retaliate in kind, and tensions will ratchet up by default as you go.
It's not about ideology, it's not about Latvia, it's all about the nukes, and it always was.
