-Opinion polls show me to be right on France, especially in the months before Brexit. Austria's not very anti-E.U.

more recent data:



-Britain above France at the time of the referendum. LOL.

I don't understand people here who call Eharding a troll. There's nothing about his posts that signify him as a troll. You shouldn't go around labeling every Republican poster here who isn't a moderate hero a troll. 84% of Republicans actually approve of Trump as President and support most of his policies, which might include a more friendly policy towards Russia. Simply because they disagree with you and hold views you can't comprehend any rational person holding, doesn't make them a troll.

Uh, if you don't understand why Democrats support NATO, then you don't understand the Democratic Party or American liberalism, or the history of either.

-Look at the 1990s #s, dude.

That was back when some people thought the collapse of the Soviet Union presaged the "end of history" was near. Putin's definitely shown that to not be the case and managed to make NATO relevant again. If Russia had managed to make the transition to a peaceful liberal democracy instead of the nationalist illiberal autocracy that Putin has steered it to become, there'd be no need for NATO. It didn't help that Yeltsin was a drunken idiot.

The fall of the soviet union, seems to coincide with first a decrease in democratic support for NATO, than a steady increase, as democrats (a left-wing party), were less supportive of NATO being used prop up right-wing leaderships (in the cold war, and the start of the 1990's), the increase in the support of NATO, is probably due to the reduction of NATO being used for the purposes of the former, and more for the purposes of strengthening western liberalism (in the general context of the word.)

I however continue to oppose NATO.
