How did I not see this til today?

That's a good question. Republicans have been saying from Day 1 that that was Raegan's slogan.

This is not new, or news. How'd you not know?

Yeah this is ancient news

It also debunks the unhinged assertion that MAGA is somehow a new "fascist" slogan

Funny how trump is the exact opposite kind of republican than Reagan. Ronny was all for nato, and against dictators.

Reagan was a Cold War President. NATO served a purpose. It no longer serves any purpose other than the US being used as a world police force. Making the US the world's primary dictator.

Also, it's fun to add that Clinton, in both campaign speeches and speeches attempting to gain support for Bills he was trying to push through also used the "Let's Make America Great Again" line.

It's not an uncommon line. The primary focus of "MAGA" is "America first" which is a very simple and easy thing to understand. The US Government exists to serve the American Public. Not foreign nations, not foreign invaders. American Citizens. When the government prioritizes other nations and the people of other nations above America and American Citizens, they're making America poorer and building up American enemies all around the world. It's a simple thing.

Reagan defeated the USSR, after that NATO ceased to meaningfully exist

Blame the market. Someone has to protect all of those shipping containers. everyone has relied on the navy since ww2. So if putin invades Switzerland and/or poland next, you would not support them?

Putin agrees.....

I haven't seen Russia invade anyone recently. The Donbas Republics formally requested aid, and then protectorate status from Russia. They granted it.

In fact, what I've been seeing is that Poland is making noises like they want to send troops into the Republics to fight Russia. That sounds like a Polish invasion of Russian Protectorates. Of course I don't support that.

As to shipping containers, what do shipping containers have to do with NATO being used as a method to stage weapons pointing at Moscow? Can you show me one time the Post-USSR Russian navy targeted a US Cargo vessel?
