The New York Time does not know what NATO means. That is extremely humiliating and shameful. Fact checkers my ass.
I would be psyched if everybody who felt that way moved to Europe. It would be giving normie Americans what they want: getting insufferable europhiles like me TF out of America. Let them live out their génération perdue fantasy!

Since leaving Hawaii at 18 for college, everybody has always wanted me to speak pidgin. Still proudly fluent. But if you’re curious what pidgin English was like in the ’80s, this is an amazing exemplar. I know every word of every bit.
