    It’s a false choice. We can and should fund a strong enough army to fulfill our obligations to NATO. Which is definitely necessary. Wars are no longer about boots on the ground, and Russia has been at war with us in that sense for a long time.

    But it’s not a choice between that and social security unless you believe politicians who want reasons to cut social security for any reason anyways, or Russian apologists like this guy. And it’s incredibly annoying because stuff like this means PVDA literally makes them an unviable party to vote for. Either they are dumb and naive, or they’re smart enough and deceptive.

      What is the point of NATO? I thought the main point was to have a powerful group of nations that would prevent any attack for Soviet Union / Russia? NATO has 3 times the military power of Russia. Is that not enough for you to prevent an attack? If NATO does not provide safety, and it is ruled by the now semi-fascist US (Trump), what is the point of fulfilling any NATO obligation?
