    He would leave NATO as soon as possible. No normal politician has ever suggested this before because it’s completely insane. It’s obvious Putin bullshit since it’s 100% against the best interests of the US and Europe, and only benefits Russia. It’s also a distortion that the EU doesn’t fund their part in NATO… a few countries spend less than they should, the rest are perfectly fine on that metric.

        Taking his public statements at face value sure is not “fearmongering”. This deranged grandpa is often cited for “telling it like it is!!” so why would we not believe he means specifically what he says?

        Russia being a threat to Europe isn’t exactly surprising considering that threat is the entire reason NATO exists.
