44 million Ukrainians have been attacked by a ruthless dictator. European countries have invested 125 billion euro in defeating Russia. But forget all that, because a Fox News host says that defending democracy is not realistic, and this whole war thing is too expensive anyway.

It is time for the democratic countries to decouple from the failed US leadership and take the lead.

Russia must be defeated.

@randahl @cstross So lets just kick the USA out of NATO.

@cyberspice @randahl Do that, and the Trumpenführer *will* sign a treaty of alliance with Putin as soon as he can. Meanwhile, if Russia attacks Europe while the USA is in NATO, the USA is at least in theory dragged into a war with Russia. Which if nothing else must be a slight deterrent to Putin. (Trump might repudiate NATO if that happens … but if so, he's just torched EVERY international treaty and alliance. And that would not be good for the USA, so hopefully his own party would stop him.)
