Could we lose our bases in Europe?

But I have been to a Chinese restaurant. I didn't see Soylent-green on the menu.

Its a special, only served in the factories for now.

I had a friend who got drafted to one, after he laughed at one of my jokes. But he didn't meet his production quota, so I've not heard from him for a while... I think maybe he is one-with-the-Green.

Trump is pro-Russian and hates NATO. He's the worst thing to happen to the US since the Civil War.

Remember those who applaud his actions. Remember where they live, where they work and what they do for recreation. They are all traitors supporting the downfall of our Republic.

I don't believe European countries would actually dare to expel US troops. Any European politician criticizing Trump's actions could be seen as endorsement of the US Democratic Party, or the neoliberal establishment. However, if Trump were to take the crucial step of forcibly occupying Greenland then expelling US troops stationed in Europe, this action would be seen as a direct challenge to US national interests. This is unlikely to be accepted by the neoliberal establishment. In other words, Europeans might verbally criticize Trump, but they probably wouldn't have the guts to actually do it.

On the other hand, global military presence, including NATO, aligns more with the demands of the traditional establishment, which is not what Trump values. If European countries expel US troops, wouldn't that perfectly align with Trump's isolationist ideology? How could European politicians aligned with the neoliberal establishment possibly act in a way that suits Trump's thinking?

Therefore, whatever Trump does won't truly affect the existence of NATO.

Wrong.

Or if only a few, please enumerate them.

Basically the entire Constitution is a set of laws many defined as Rights. The only part that expresses ideals is the preamble.
