Re: 'May you live in interesting times' in-fucking-deed

[(Anonymous)]

France completely rejoined NATO in 2009 though.

Look, I'm not saying that the US is perfect -- recent history has shown that that is not in any way, shape, or form true.

But the conditions now between Russia and the USA are very different compared to the Cold War and heavily (almost comically, to be honest) tipped in the US's favor.

The US is always going to prioritize itself -- it's a nation like any other.

But the fact of the matter is that losing a European ally WOULD be more devastating to the US (especially economically and politically) than engaging with Russia because any conflict between the US and Russia would be so much in the US's favor.

Whereas if the US did nothing in response to a major military strike on a NATO ally, the entire agreement (and American influence) would collapse.

Russia simply isn't on the level that the USSR was. The US may not be as dominant as it was in the 90s, but a HUGE gulf still exists between the two nations.

And that's not taking into account American psychology -- which would never tolerate an attack against, say, the UK by Russia.
