    Yes, this is what NATO is for. It is an alliance meant to prevent fascism from taking hold. Just because it’s only ever been used in non member countries doesn’t mean it can’t be used on us, especially if Trump continues to threaten allies. Talking about this leading to WWIII is a strawman argument. You don’t know that will happen and it is not a good reason to not be asking for help from our allies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO

    The way i see it, America has gone very angry at anyone in the past who was accused of “interfering with American internal politics” for many years. That is why nobody wants to meddle in American internal politics anymore.

    It is, in some sense, the fate of the tiger. When you’re a gazelle or zebra, and you’re sick, you can hope at least that a Tiger will come by and eat you, thus shortening your suffering. When you are the tiger, there’s nobody predating you, and if you fall sick, it could take a very long time before you die.
