Or led Putin to assume that Trump wouldn't fulfill Article 5 obligations, and that Europe wouldn't go in without American leadership.

Which is why prepositioning American troops is so critical. It is one thing when allies are being invaded, but when a US military base or convoy is attacked, suddenly the psychic gulf between Tennessee and Tallinn or Tonkin shrinks.

Where is the option for "He donated money to NAMBLA"?
I'm not saying Trump donated large amounts of money to NAMBLA but I think it only makes sense that the option be there due to the possibility that he might have donated large amounts of money to NAMBLA.

Donald doesn't pay attention to polls, but he has the biggest rallies and the biggest TV ratings so clearly he's winning.

They're also one of the few to be spending 2% of GDP on military spending, so even under the Trump Doctrine, we'd still defend them. Latvia and Lithuania, while they shed blood on America's behalf in an Article 5 operation, do not meet that standard.

If the USA simply declined to do anything if NATO was invaded nothing would happen. Well, things would happen, but they wouldn't be a hot war with Russia over Estonia. When Turkey invaded Cyprus the US did nothing, although that was a little different because both were in NATO

Anyone left who doesn't believe we'll see significant violence on and around Election Day by Trump supporters? He's all but inciting his more ardent fans with all this talk of the election being rigged against him, and they're the ones who are out of their minds and armed to the teeth.

Well in 2012 a bunch of places were still in a state of emergency after Hurricane Sandy so there were provisions for late votes and voting by fax and a limited use of oting by email.
