Woke up in the middle of the night thinking of something

[matt819]

What if there were an attack on the US now. I mean military. A genuine military attack. Not a cyber attack. Not saber rattling.

I know. A crazy notion. But my thought was whether any erstwhile ally would take even marginal steps to support the US, even with NATO and a host of expectations even in the absence of written agreements.

Putting COVID-19 aside, thought that's not really possible, if you were Germany or England or Canada or Australia, can you genuinely see any one of them jumping into that kind of fray? And can you just picture their citizens' reactions?

I can imagine responses in the no, hell no, and fuck no range.

1. China, Russia and North Korea are

winning their wars without firing a single shoot. They all have a friend in the grifter's administration, cough, cough.

3. Considering the state of our readiness

I'd say without a nuclear war we'd be a pushover. Read where Harry Truman battle group has ended its deployment but is being told to keep circling in open ocean and not return to stay clear of Orange death.
I think Trump has basically left us defenseless.

4. Thus, an OP I wrote a while back.

We have nuclear weapons, that’s all we have or need with Trump. There is no poking us while we are down or else you are disintegrated.

5. Trump would NEVER bomb his buddy Putin.

Ain't gonna happen.
