    Some have said Trump was just kidding when he was talking about pulling out of NATO but judging from his inability to keep friendly relations going, who knows.  Besides, why would a standing president make a joke about something like that?  That's crazy.

    Yup, that’s the beauty of it. It makes Team Trump Treason choose between having senate input upon withdrawing from NATO or his ego by vetoing it.

    I could be wrong but I think the overall sentiment on this forum was for the US to pull the military out of Europe during the Bush era.

    I'm sure there is stuff in the Ukraine thread but the search function doesn't seem to be working.  I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that any proposed increase in US military presence in Europe was met with great disdain on this forum during the Bush era and any proposed decrease during Obama's term was met with great applause.  

    I could care less.  Just making observations.

    Well, I don’t recall such disdain. Perhaps more Willy nilly NATO expansion rather than withdrawal from NATO. Without links, it’s an unfounded observation.

    You are correct. "Pull the troops and bring them home" was a predominant theme.

    I think you guys are confusing the Iraq war with NATO expansion. Missile batteries in Poland was controversial as was expanding NATO to previously soviet bloc countries.

    You are correct. "Pull the troops and bring them home" was a predominant theme.
    Well, of 93 pages and 2,786 posts on pages 616 through 709, from June 2006 to January 2007, only two had "NATO" in their thread titles. Someone else with more savvy search skills can search 2007 and 2008. Again, I don't believe there was a lot of sentiment to pull US troops out of Europe during the Bush years. Is it possible there was discussion within threads with different titles? Sure, its possible but I don't think increasing US troops in Europe during Bush's term was met with "great disdain" and any decrease during Obama's term met with "great applause."

    Here's the two links to posts regarding NATO from 2006 and both are in the context of NATO and Afghanistan:

    http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/70701/is-nato-totally-pointless#latest

    Going back in time can be fun as these two posts illustrate:

    I could be wrong but I think the overall sentiment on this forum was for the US to pull the military out of Europe during the Bush era.
    Ummm no. Out of the Middle East, maybe. There’s a lot of thread history going back to 2006. Feel free to link. Or bump.
    I'm sure there is stuff in the Ukraine thread but the search function doesn't seem to be working.  I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that any proposed increase in US military presence in Europe was met with great disdain on this forum during the Bush era and any proposed decrease during Obama's term was met with great applause.  

    I could care less.  Just making observations.
    You are correct. "Pull the troops and bring them home" was a predominant theme.
    funny how that goes...
    I think you guys are confusing the Iraq war with NATO expansion. Missile batteries in Poland was controversial as was expanding NATO to previously soviet bloc countries.
    I'm not confused about nothing ... Bush President ... war bad
                                                           Obama President ... barely a peep about the 7 or so wars that were on going in his 8 years.

    You certainly are as it relates to NATO. What you posit above is a completely separate and different debate than this thread title or perceived observation. “Barely a peep,” is also misleading. But believe what you want. Care to name the 7 wars on going during Obama’s term?

    Obama was the first president to serve for 8 years with non stop war. I am sure trump will follow suit.
