Dope1, the leftist you are arguing with falsely claims the u.s. is "walking away from the alliance."

False disinformation from Putin, Heather Cox Richardson, and the leftists who Post here.

Telling our allies they need to do much more to pull their own weight financially, and stop inviting savage invaders into their borders, is an attempt to strengthen NATO.


So much of what they post (likely >95%) is what they've either been told to say or is what their stereotypes of right wingers are. You see it everywhere - how they assume raaaacism when somebody says, "let's have a secure border" or yurrr abandoning europe when somebody says, "they should be able to contribute more than a pithy slogan and a package of Oreos to their own defense".

It's really simple WHY they do it - as a liberal, you're never ever allowed to criticize the left. Because if you do you're not only committing the Cardinal Sin of potentially agreeing with a right winger you're also indicting progressivism in general.

Progressivism in the mind of progressives can't be wrong. Because if it was "allowed" to be wrong, it would be questioned. And that...the left can't have as it might cost them some political power.

So our board buddies here post opinions as fact, make unsubstantiated claims about others, and never concede the other side has a point until only after there is no more political points to gain on a subject (which is why the NYT can grudgingly claim that Biden screwed up the border now that he's safely out of public office for the rest of his life).
