    I think it’s less about what he’s capable of doing and more about what he signifies.
    Electing an openly socialist mayor to one of the biggest cities in the country is a huge step, one that could gain momentum and they definitely do not want more of that happening, especially in the house and Senate.
    They think if they nip it in the bud now they may be able to get ahead of it, but I think they fail to realize they might make a political martyr out of him instead.







  • If the US leaves NATO, Europe would lose a lot of support.

    If the US stays in NATO, they would refuse to support them anyway and could use their veto power to stop any potential action.

    If they’re not going to have the support of the US military either way, and the US staying in NATO could prevent the organization from taking any action at all, it may be in the best interest of Europe for the US to leave NATO so they can’t cripple it from within.
