Just send in te military and then get the job done. Forget saving the world Iraq Afghan style wars. Do it for your nation. Its the right thing to do and your technology is light years ahead of anything the EU can put up in defence.
Al that will happen if the EU retains control is a general suppression of the economy off shoring the jobs to China leading to dislocation / destruction of age old communities, sickening socialism whereby everyone gets to work for the state of rely on state benefits, coupled with a mass invasion of towel heads from the 3rd World. no good can come of leeting things continue as they are, save Greenland from this future living hell
I don't think the fella reads much Orby.
Never mind posts on "Deny Ignorance."
Be nice to have him as a member all the same.
Everybody is welcome.

I tend to agree.
The horrible part is that it should not be.
It is what it is i suppose.
I have to believe democracy is the best system we have devised.
Where governance is concerned.
But it gets twisted to suit peoples agendas.

Question. Is this a fair statement for you?
[b]"It's not about the race of the people, but the nobility of culture the people prefer and promote that makes them either wanted or undesirable. You should work to survive. You should uphold the rules of law and order. You should uphold these noble traditional values of self sufficiency and meritocracy. All races and peoples can nobly contribute to the greater good of this society together! These are of the highest priority to me."
While you have tried to couch that to be a fair rhetorical trap, I think you understand that it is not about "fair statements" or expressions of ethos, but actions and lived experiences. What makes a "high-trust society" is not words, but a common basis of assimilative intent. And when a perceived lack of assimilative intent extends to undermine even the commonality of the rule of law, trust is lost and social pressure rises.
"Noble intent" as you're framing it sounds very Anglo-European. And that's fine. But that's not what it's about. Different cultures have different expressions of ethos, one size does not fit all. The relevant factor is how those cultures choose to adapt themselves with each other, or subsume to the common culture and understand and align with all your movie and TV show references. There's no one size fits all, but at the lowest tier of the scale of trust is the expectation to value the integrity of the law. That's basic multiculturalism; surely you understand?
You're really not helping contradict this trope:

It's real
While it is not ethical or clinically valid to diagnose Donald Trump without a direct evaluation, a hypothetical analysis of his Truth Social posts suggests a pattern most consistent with malignant narcissism—a combination of narcissistic, antisocial, and paranoid traits. Based on observable behaviors: grandiosity, emotional volatility, lack of empathy, impulsivity, and a persistent sense of persecution.

As opposed to any sort of diplomacy or adult statecraft.
Does the fella not have a secretary? 
I don't think it had any 'thinking' when it was written. I think Trump is now well beyond that.
He's clearly a grumpy child because he didn't get a gold star from the Noble committee!
And now he threatens his closest allies (well other than Putin) with crippling tariffs, I'm positive this petty attempt at a land grab and threats will give Xi and Putin plenty of new ammunition for their ideas of future colonialism.

"a persistent sense of persecution"
Yes, how bizarre and mentally ill of him to think that there are those who are dead-set to categorically oppose everything he does and are seeking to undermine him in any way possible.
If only he had more empathy for them!

Well his niece Mary Trump, the best clinical psychologist able to diagnose him, IMO, from past familiarity with family dynamics and Trump's behaviour within that toxicity/trauma and using that as well as recent behaviours to make assessments as to probable medical/aging mental issues while mentioning that Trump was never being diagnosed nor treated for his suspected issues.
By the way, clinical psychologists are called upon to ethically make observational assessments in cases such as this for others' welfare and social responsibility, via APA's Ethical Principals of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.
Trump's niece says Trump health decline will have huge impact on next few months

Nope.
She isn't his doctor.
She hasn't examined him nor given him an assessment in person.
She also has an axe to grind and isn't 'impartial'.
And a doctor can't make a diagnosis long distance.
If Trump had a doctor who was going to diagnose him, she could give her personal accounts to aid in that diagnosis. But that's it.
