...NATO would do good to be pulled back.

But it's clear that Russia, as a failed economic state, is trying to use military aggression to stay relevant in the world.

This cannot and should not be allowed.

Renewable energy, automation, and western diversity and cultural superiority is a threat to Russia's aggressive state.

This is not "red baiting," as Russia is an oligarchic mafia state. They aren't to be trusted.

In particular this desire to usher in white nationalism as a core cultural aspect of the future world is a very very dangerous road to go down. It's WWIII in the making.

The US mainland is safe from nukes, that's not something I'm worried about. It's the EU which sits in a very precarious situation where the Eastern Bloc could be reinstalled with only a few incursions by Russia, ala Ukraine, ala Georgia. A weak puppet President like Trump would allow this to happen.
