Stop it! That is just so "next level"--I cannot believe the technology exists for banks to exchange currency! What's next--a machine that records your telephone messages and holds them until you get home? A telephone that you can carry around in your pocket with no cord to the wall?
“European leaders agreed they must spend more on defence to show Trump the continent can protect itself.” “After a long time of underinvestment, it is now of utmost importance to step up the defence investment for a prolonged period of time," Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, the EU's executive body, told reporters. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said leaders agreed Europe needed to take on more responsibility and start bearing the burden of "more spending on its defence budgets within NATO". UK, European leaders join forces to draft Ukraine peace plan to take to US — Reuters Europe admitting Trump was right. But the left will keep talking about how mean he is. We’re not surprised though, because it’s been known for years the left hates America.
You'd think you could take feedback from people who actually agree with you on most issues. Guess not. The last thing a defense contractor wants is to have to answer questions about how their products ended up in the hands of some terrorist groups in a place like Belarus. Not sure why you want to argue with someone that literally did this for a living.
On this, Trump will need to be judged (and will be) on the outcome. If his stances are negotiation tactics and they work out, I think he could be seen very well in this regard. He was very correct to point out that Europeans were getting a free ride with NATO. We didn't mind that so much pre-COVID because it wasn't that dire to subsidize it and gave us a great bargaining power. However, post-COVID due to insane spending under his and Biden's administrations, we cannot do this at this level. This is a very optimistic take on what we have seen thus far. But it is still very early and he is a real estate developer after all.
Here is an article for the Trump fanatics amongst us, demonstrating how Trump fans can break free of the Svengali hold that Trump has on them and see Trump for the clown that he is. The article references Trump voters who turned against him based on . . . well, Trump being Trump. (It's a shame that they could not see who Trump was BEFORE the election.) Consider this a 12-step therapy program for your addiction. I can only imagine the shame and humiliation that Trump voters are going through as they realize that they chose unwisely and were duped by one of the greatest con-men of all time. Conservatives Are Getting Honest About The Heated Trump-Zelensky Oval Office Meeting, And They're Not Holding Back
if we are going to ask Ukraine to give up land they should have rock solid guarantees that Russia cannot attack thema gain without bringing in western alliances into combat. they gave up their nuclear weapons for a security guarantee that turned out to be a pinky swear, then Crimea, and Russia will keep going until a red line is drawn. Asking Z to agree to another toothless deal is asking him to betray his country. trump doesn't have a problem with that, Z does
It’s not that I’m not taking feedback, I just have my doubts about the integrity of the weapons industry.
Was just about to post the same thing. That fella is approaching joining another poster here on my unhinged list. It’s a high bar but he’s relentless.
