And now they offered them the S400

And they're buying it

Lol

@Nathan James 123 Influence for what? Imports are 12-15% of our GDP and most of that is Canada and Mexico. We're one of the least connected economies on the planet.

Military influence abroad? Partners to work with abroad? Intelligence collaboration? Bases for ships? Airbases for aircraft? Power pojection.

Remove Mexico

Did you REALLY just ask that question? @Jym

Lmao

There's two kinds of power.

Economic

Hardpower (military) and softpower (economics)

The us was trying for both

As it should

As everyone should

Lmao

If you want to force better trade deals, put an aircraft carrier off their coast

@Nathan James 123

We already have most of the hard and more soft than we need.

Build an airbase next to them

@Jym Which you want to degrade by pulling out of the ME and NATO?

You need to maintain it..

How would that degrade anything

You're unable to have his discussion, just watch and read. @Hexidecimark

Cry more

So if turkey leaves nato do they join the Warsaw Pact

The Warsaw pact doesn't exist anymore

Oh

@Nathan James 123

Our NATO allies aren't very useful. Half of them don't even have militaries.

I imagine they will be kicked out of NATO, but they will align themselves with Russia @RAM II

Wack

Increased cooperation, integration, etc.

They might go full red

They would become allies as the US and UK are

That's objectively false @Jym

"Biggest military in Nato"
So like, four dudes instead of three

Turn it around cause I think russia has a habit of making their Slavs rule over the occupied nation

Lmao I don't think that's going to happen <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Russia is a non issue

There's not even a remote need to make russia an issue

I’m sure the red menace is coming

They're not communist nor socialist silly
