He famously visited Russia in the 80s and immediately returned loudly isolationist.
He wants to pull out of all international organizations that are part of the world order the US set up to favor the US. He lies about how much it costs (he said the US pays 90% of NATO costs when it really pays 20%) so they will obviously never meet whatever insane demands he puts on them because on the off chance they do he will just lie and say they didn’t.
I don’t want to be the “weird how every radical move he makes helps Russia” guy because it needs to be allowable for folks to have a variety of views in a Democracy. But his position on NATO is essentially indefensible among people who know what they’re talking about, and aligns entirely with Russian propaganda.

we can have a variety of reasonable views but no democracy works going over every fringe view coming out of the nuthouse.
