#2 If the NATO countries thought there was a problem, they would be acting on it.

They'll be fine without the USA. They're the world's richest democracies, bound together in an alliance. They just added Sweden and Finland to their strength, plus a long border with Russia. They can easily deal with any problems that come along. They are the adults in the room, not like the stupid Americans who can't even ban guns in their own country.

#3 ^ someone is living in a fantasy land. British exit and eastern states threatening to do the same as Brussels dictates they commit cultural suicide for foreign invaders. They were never able to get their act together before 1939 and only had a semblance of 'peace' while America and the Soviets state sat on them for 50 years giving them the longest stretch of peace since Rome. Brussels solution appears to be follow the Moscow governing model but with better suits. America should have left when the Wall came down, so Europe could finally 'half life' its existence out of history. It's been a waste of time, lives, and resources keeping the place together like Justinian trying to resurrect the old Roman Empire at the expense of Byzantium's resources.

#5 No, Fukuyama, 'liberal democracy' is an unstable state that occurs before Oligarchy. As a video I remember cogently argued that there were two end states 'Republics' (Rule by 'one law for all') and Oligarchy (rule by a few privileged)...

#6 ^^ Actually Plato put democracy after oligarchy but before dictatorship/tyranny.
