There is a choice ahead, and it will not be a perfect one, but it will be clear.

There is catastrophe ahead for a generation of Americans who have never truly had a bad day.

This is the warning, and there are 267 days until the presidential election that will decide America's future.

This past Super Bowl weekend, Donald Trump held a political rally.

It was a deranged affair.

His crowd chanted over and over and over again, fuck Joe Biden, while Trump denounced NATO the longest,

historically most effective peacekeeping treaty organization in world history and rooted for Russia under

Vladimir Putin to attack NATO allies if, according to Trump,

they don't spend enough money on their national defense.

Full stop.

This edition of the warning will be a bit of a history lesson about NATO.

What is it? And why does it matter to you? Well, first, think about the Super Bowl yesterday.

Look at these pictures from the halftime show or the post-game championship celebration.

or Berlin or anywhere across the free nations of Europe.

This is what a slave society looks like.

This is North Korea.

This is a place where there is no freedom,

where there is a cult of personality that controls everything.

And there are other lesser examples where people can't sing or dance, where women are beaten because they won't wear a cover over their head or stone to death by male relatives with impunity.

There are places where speaking against the leader gets you killed, poisoned,

thrown out a window, or locked up.
