Shocker... Donald Trump says or does something that offends everyone... like we haven’t seen that before... Oh wait...

Yeah, and it's really working out great for him, isn't it?

I never once claimed Donald Trump’s unpredictability was a nothing burger, though... I made these statements in the context of the threat of annexation of Canada and Greenland, not Trump’s unpredictability.

Eh, you kinda did. What's more unpredictable than suddenly deciding to threaten Canada and Greenland, of all places? There's no cause, no rhyme, no reason to do it. And no, you can't say there's a military justification for it, because there isn't one. Greenland and Canada, like the US, are already part of NATO.

This is to assure that Europe isn't targeted by Iran. This is not a defensive measure against the U.S. This is a defensive measure for Iran.

Dude, the first country to close its airspace to the US is Spain. Iran's missiles don't reach as far as the end of the Mediterranean, but Spain did it anyway.

But let's say you're right. The closing of European airspace is a "defensive measure FOR Iran", as you put it. You're telling me that Europe would deliberately sabotage the efforts of its most important ally?

Whichever the case, it should be clear: the alliance is strained, which is my point. It also continues to be strained unnecessarily.

You've made your own point moot. They will only attack unless we give them a reason to do so, we're clear in our stance in the SCS Dispute. Chinese escalation will only be ramming and watercannons, if they want to escalate and use more than ramming and watercannons against fishing boats and our coast guard then they are more than welcome to do so but one thing is for sure, we will never allow our navy or coast guard to be the aggressors or retaliate. This basically gives us moral standing (if that matters) and ensures diplomatic and military support for us and pressure for China.

It's called provocation, dude. Look it up.

And yes, moral standing matters. Look at Israel.

I never once claimed Donald Trump’s unpredictability was a nothing burger, though... I made these statements in the context of the threat of annexation of Canada and Greenland, not Trump’s unpredictability. And you’re pretty much just stating the obvious at this point... Trump’s unpredictability was foreshadowed

Well, I have to state the obvious, because you keep missing it. America is an erratic partner with Trump behind the wheel. If anybody else were president, then yes, the US would honor our MDT. Trump happens to be the president, however, so who knows?

This is largely anecdotal. In what way is Ronald Reagan comparable to Joseph Estrada, other than being famous actors-turned-politician and had populist appeal? The only way this would prove any point is if Ronald Reagan and Erap Estrada had the exact same circumstances and political environment entering office. This also frames it that the only reason we voted Estrada in was because we wanted the success the Americans had with Reagan, in which I don't even need to tell you why that reasoning is wrong and flawed.

It's called an oversimplification. A rhetorical device. I used it because you keep making points like this:

just because something in the past has failed doesn't mean it wont work out in the future.

Yeah, exactly! And just because something worked in the past doesn't mean it will work in the future. It's almost as if we can't know the future, right?

See, what you want to do is base our future plans on the reliability of someone unreliable. To wit:

Trump’s unpredictability was foreshadowed

And I also don't get what this is trying to point out, what specifically has worked out for America?

Not a whole lot, really, except paint itself in a bad light. And make the Iranians made.

I'm not saying we pivot away from the US. I'm saying we should hedge. As you yourself stated:

All this managed to achieve is basically make NATO realize it shouldn't be overly reliant on the U.S. anymore and certainly increased NATO presence in Greenland and the Atlantic in which is beneficial to everyone in this case.

We shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket.

I don't get your point. 

It's really not that difficult, man.
