its entirely needed. For those of us who live outside the US he's tearing everything down. His remarks about Greenland and curious kid gloves with Russia hint at a future without NATO. What do you expect other nations to do in response to that?
We can't just outsource all our tech to the US anymore, if it isn't a reliable partner.
We aren't 100% reliant on Russian Oil, and the EU has made decisions again and again to reduce the reliance on Russia for Energy against the resistance of some members

Trump just kidnapped a foreign leader which violates international AND US law. He is also threatening to do the same in Cuba, Mexico and Columbia as well as just taking Greenland.
At what point is it then necessary? The whole talk is about getting away from this.
HN is an anti-Trump fanclub of people who think they know better, while pointing out that worst trait of Trump is that he thinks he knows better, hence the downvotes.
