    USA can help Europe with Ukraine and Europe can help USA with Taiwan. Europe will also keep increasing military spending naturally in response to the Russian threat. NATO can definitely become stronger from this period if we all do our fair share. If we stick together the Russian economy will spiral down and China will have to calm down with a united NATO standing behind Taiwan, Japan and South Korea

    I could not believe my ears, the journalist being interviewed suggested that the Trump idea about purchasing Greenland 🇬🇱 is not that crazy! The idea is as PM Mette Frederiksen, Denmark 🇩🇰 has already told Trump “absurd” and fortunately “belonging in a bygone age”. Along the same line both the former and the present head of government in Greenland have stated that Greenland is not for sale. Now Trump of course had a hard time handling this. But the matter ends here, he may kick and scream and misbehave, but it will change nothing and the idea will stay crazy and absurd 👍

    • @benghiskahn3673
      @benghiskahn3673 3 дні тому +12

      I for one am no fan of Trump. HOWEVER, I do agree with him on the issue of European countries failing to meet their defence spending obligations. Many European countries seem to have forgotten or just decided to ignore the wisdom that you maintain peace by being prepared for war. Russia would not be acting in such a belligerent way if Europe had robust independent defence capabilities.
      European nations have neglected their own defence for decades on the assumption that 1) post-cold war there are no enemies to fight in conventional wars, 2) if 1 is wrong the US will always have our backs. This is flawed thinking of the highest level and has left Europe badly exposed.
      European countries have begun to increase spending, however there are still many countries that think they can get a free ride.
      Additionally, I think one of the big issues for the Euro countries is a lack of central cohesion. Russia sees this as a biiiiiig weakness because it takes the Euro countries forever to agree on how to respond to unfolding threats which allows Russia to take the initiative.
      I really do think that NATO should have taken a far more pro-active stance with Ukraine. We've allowed Russia to dictate terms from day one this has left us constantly tying ourselves in knots trying to agree on a response whilst Russia is already making its next 2 moves.
      I really do think that it is in the USA's interest to ensure that Ukraine wins this war and that Russia pays a high price. There seems to be a growing view in the US that Russia is not a threat, can be trusted and was forced into this war by NATO. This is simply mindless parroting of Kremlin manufactured falsehoods and needs to be confronted. Russia CANNOT and should not be trusted and should be treated in the same way as Iran and be regarded as a pariah on the world stage. Russia sees the US as its enemy, it sees the world that the USA created after WW2 as something to be torn down and replaced, and it sees its war in Ukraine as a key step in achieving that objective. Why? Because if Russia is allowed to get away with marching into Ukraine and stealing 25% of its land by force then it shows every other despot and authoritarian regime out there that they can do the same without any serious repercussion from the custodians of the global rules based order (The USA, Canada, UK, EU, Japan, Australia, etc)

In other words, Greenland is "owned" by Greenland in the same way that Denmark-proper is "owned" by the King of Denmark, i.e. it may state "Denmark" as the sovereign state, but the national sovereignty lies with the people of Greenland. Denmark can no more sell Greenland to the US than we could sell Norway to the US, it is not ours to sell.

Whether that is naval, air power, logistics, air lift, power projection, equipment, etc. There are some nations like France and the UK that do have global power projection, but again that is very limited, and also serves to basically supplement US power (like France in West Africa or the UK in the Indo-Pacific).

    The debt ceiling doesn’t prevent runaway spending-it’s merely an arbitrary number that forces negotiations at fixed intervals. Its primary purpose is political, not economic, and it’s disconnected from the real drivers of fiscal health, like economic growth or inflation. Debt grows naturally with inflation and economic expansion, so the ceiling must always be raised. Removing it could streamline efforts to reduce unnecessary spending by eliminating this artificial hurdle and focusing on meaningful fiscal reform instead of political brinkmanship.

Cutting household spending is essential, but at some point you must increase household income.

And in the case of Social Security, those weasels have been looting the fund for a couple generations to pay for their boondoggles and tax giveaways to the rich. And then they screech that the fund is insolvent after they took the money out.

    Even trump.might fall in line with G.O.P on certain things..with trumpian changes, and enhancements.
    Alen Musk for instance doesn't have presidential information like trump.mow does..Musk still.is saposedly focused on mars..

    Whether they are vocal or not doesn't mean they do not want to cull migration, see the trends throughout Europe and those voices are likely to get louder.

      What the people remember is from 2016 to 2020 everything was lower not just in America but in the world and that’s what the voters remember and it will start with energy prices. Everything else will come down after that, but it won’t happen overnight but it will happen.
