He also claimed the purpose of the threat was to strengthen NATO by getting more countries to increase their military budgets. Trump isn't anti-imperialist.
If you look up the guy's (now deleted) twitter, the guy was a pro-NATO nutcase who I guess earnestly believed Trump would disband NATO.
I'm not calling all people who are pro-NATO nutcases, I mean the dude was mentally ill and extremely pro NATO, claimed he had thousands of "NATO-trained Afghan troops" ready to defend Taiwan, claimed he was going to go fight in Ukraine, tried to buy a rocket from Elon Musk to assassinate Putin, etc.

Yeah, I kinda suck at rhetoric. What's a better way to present to people that the media pointing at foreigners exercising .001% of the malign influence they do serves to distract from the 99.99% of influence they exert?
