 “he’s so mean” complaint—well, where have I heard this before? Oh, yes—people have been saying this ever since Trump first ran for president back in 2016. Back then, the frequently expressed fear was that Trump’s behavior and rhetoric would alienate allies on the world stage and result in much-dreaded “democratic backsliding” here on the home front. Notably, precisely none of that has happened. We have seen some “democratic backsliding” over the past decade, but it is solely attributable to the prosecutorial excesses of Biden-era partisan Democratic lawfare and the censorious excesses of Jack Dorsey-era Big Tech oligarchs. On the contrary, Trump’s years-long politically incorrect (but delectable) ribbing of our European partners as being insufficiently protective of their civilization has inspired far more NATO countries to meet the alliance’s prescribed 2% of GDP spending on defense threshold.
More generally—and I know it’s a crazy thought—maybe, just maybe, the Art of the Deal guy knows a thing or two about what he’s doing when it comes to basic negotiation tactics of initially deliberately overshooting the mark and then settling for a reasonable compromise. He’s not going to push more Europeans toward China, as many fear, with his on-again/off-again threats of increased tariffs if the Euros continue to refuse any negotiation for Greenland. Why? Simple: Following the 12-Day War in the Middle East that saw Iran humiliated by team “Big Satan”-“Little Satan” and the spectacular recent collapse of the Maduro client state in Caracas, China looks like a horrible patron state in today’s great-power competition.
The most likely outcome of the current stand-off? The Europeans eventually come back to “daddy” Trump asking for mercy. They will be humiliated, to the extent they are not already. The Danes don’t even much care about Greenland; the kingdom subsidizes the island annually to the tune of nearly a $1 billion, and many Scandinavian Danes harbor an unfortunate racial animus toward the Inuits of Greenland.
Trump should keep on pushing hard to acquire Greenland. Let the pearl-clutchers and bedwetters cavil and moan. Let them ridicule Trump as a bully and besmirch America as a jingoistic, colonialist backwater. Who cares? Greenland becoming America’s first territorial acquisition since 1947 is decidedly in our national interest. What’s more, the president who has presided over a truly historic number of peace deals in the first year of his new term should be entitled to a reasonable deference in his choice and style of international diplomacy. Maybe, just maybe, he has some grasp on what he’s doing. On this particular issue, just get out of the way and let Trump cook.

Yes, it's pretty simple 

We will bow down to either the eastern technolords or the western technolords

The lemmings that still think it is about 'democracy' and Trump as Dictator really need to pull their heads out of their propaganda sandbox.  It's raw geopolitics which are icing the cake of Technofascism globally.  The struggle is exactly 'who will be The Technolord?' !   
There are indeed 'White Hats' in US GOV but I think it's the last global superpower with some people trying to uphold a citizen's Constitution - UK and mainland EU are long gone. China never had freedom.
South Korea they are begging Trump to come and take over their President (YT comments) .  
We will have to opt out and start bolstering alternative economies. 
But wa wa Orange Man bad! Putin Mad Vlad!

Who are the White Hats?

I disagree
Democracy as we know it won't survive the transition 
A lot of tech elite on the right don't support a Democratic government that impedes their mission

Trump is indeed a very corrupt player in this power struggle 
He's situated to make trillions from tokenization

There are factions in the cadre especially in the military and in MIL INT but they are fast getting pushed out, retired, or co opted by globalist and marxist heirarchies and corruption. 
Trump was kind of aligned with them but then he got coopted by the Mafia and now the Deep State / State Dept /legacy INTEL

So yes its a very dicey world now.

Interesting that the very vocal MAGA veterans on here have nothing to say about Trump insulting our military service men and women who died or were maimed in Afghanistan, mostly in Helmand, on the front line, you draft dodging disgrace, answering the US call to fight.

Anyone?

Afghanistan was a fiasco and I think you're both crazy for wanting credit for it.

The United States had a more significant presence on the front lines in Afghanistan compared to UK troops. Over the course of the conflict, US forces deployed more than 800,000 personnel, significantly more than the UK's 140,000. This overwhelming number allowed the US to engage in extensive operations across various provinces, particularly in high-conflict areas such as Kandahar and Helmand. The scale of US military operations encompassed a broad range of missions, from direct combat to counterinsurgency efforts, often resulting in higher casualty rates exceeding 2,400 fatalities. In contrast, while the UK troops faced intense firefights and had a notable impact—especially in regions like Helmand—their overall involvement was comparatively limited, highlighting the US's dominant role in frontline operations during the Afghanistan conflict.

I'll speak on it.

Trump was wrong with his comments.

I was friends with many British soldiers when I was in, still am with the ones still alive. 

Trump was wrong with his comments.

Afghanistan wasn't WWI or WWII with clear battle lines or an established front. There were scattered hot spots of intense fighting. American soldiers were the overwhelming majority of the Allied forces in every hot spot.

Trump was wrong with his comments.

For every NATO soldier lost, there was at least 2 American soldiers lost.

Trump was wrong with his comments.

Every loss was tragic regardless of where the soldier came from.

Trump was wrong with his comments.

Satisfied?

Now my question.

Out of all you that have your panties twisted about this and calling President Trump a draft dodger, where did you serve?

You already asked me that.  I'm disabled.

But thanks for admitting that Trump was wrong, if not a disgrace.

Side note, love all the hypocrisy of these tards calling Trump a "draft dodger" at every turn, but with all of the disrespect for our current, prior, and deceased military members that Biden dished out, not once did they say the same about him........hmmmmm

Like I said, Trump climbed down and excepted a deal that was already in place, America already has a base in Greenland, Denmark and NATO just gave him permission to add an extension!!  

List what areas of Greenland the US currently has sovereignty over.
