Biden never implied there was a chance the US would abandon its NATO allies in case of a war, Trump did.

Pro-Trump argument? Didn't expect that here. Regardless, it'd be great if the US actually let NATO destroy itself and limit their ability to commit their imperialism in the middle-east (and across the world), but that's just rhetoric to get Russia to ally with the US against China; like the US allied with China against the USSR in the Cold War.

Unfortunately the US would never truly antagonize NATO; Trump would just be assassinated and replaced like JFK was for wanting to abolish the CIA, not that Trump would actually go through with it. He isn't any better than Biden.

The only way the US would improve is if a leftist org took power over this thinly-veiled imperialist oligarch altogether from outside its political system, which is designed to prevent leftward movement in the first place.

Also uh, I don't think US's ongoing genocide victims care about that.
