Unfortunately it's not going to be the worst. Trump will continue braking up the alliances that the US has. And he basically doesn't understand it. Fi...

You think so? We the pitiful paracites, that ought to pay... And how did that go with Obama and his red-line in the sand? Tell me. If you believe that...

Number 1: DON'T BELIEVE THE BULLSHIT FROM TRUMP Putin doesn't want peace. What Putin will accept now is surrender. Or a deal that put's Ukraine in suc...

I think the Americans could be better served by a total reform of the two party system. Centrist Democrats and actual conservatives, not the MAGA-chur...

Models are valuable only if they truly depict reality. Yet I would emphasize that taking the "minor states" only as either proxies or allies of Greate...
March 08, 2025 at 20:32
I agree. But Trump really doesn't understand that this isn't entertainment. It really isn't "professional wrestling" that is a show. And the culture w...
March 08, 2025 at 15:35
This actually is the reality. How you kick out the MAGA lunatics will be the question, because as you can see the Trump recession is already here, eve...

This is the most irritating fact with these "experts", when they leave totally away the naked imperialist ambitions out, because that is the basic rea...

Trump being totally ignorant of Article 5 having already been implemented. And they did come to fight in Afghanistan. Eagerly, actually, to show the s...

Yep. Those are the attitudes of the present. And I'm sure that Claude Malhuret and the Canadian politicians aren't going to be alone with their truthf...

I've always accepted that NATO enlargement has been one genuine reason. I've myself pointed out that in their military doctrine they stated NATO enlar...

When you whole society is basically a military, then all you see will be threats. Still I would say that the example of a rising power is more China a...
March 07, 2025 at 16:12
Thanks for the references! But do notice the difference here. One thing is to ask, especially behind closed doors, about something like this (as Bolto...

Great Powers can have totally different policies in totally different regions and with different countries. This is why many have this problem especia...

Oh I saw it. The issue that this country saw the real threat of war in 2022. Now the rest of Europe has woken, those that simply didn't see it before....

Well, I like to call it the confederacy that desperately wants to be an union. Member states aren't anything like the states in the United States or s...

Who? :yikes: The US??? :snicker: The sole Superpower wasn't a "rising power" after WW2. It was the other Superpower and then after Soviet collapse it ...

Thucydides Trap has been used to talk about China. Not a country like Russia, that has the economy a bit smaller than either Italy or Canada and has b...
March 06, 2025 at 22:54
How is that effective to you? Perhaps for your enemies like Russia and China, it's great. Putin can breathe now more easily. I think Trump is simply s...
March 06, 2025 at 20:56
Oh you don't have to thank me. I will agree with you when you say something that is true or correct. It's actually quite important to understand just ...

You are just describing how Russia attacks other countries. False flags are just the Russian traditional method. Or the attackers described as being "...

Enabling Putin to fight his war against Ukraine by putting Ukraine in a tougher spot does actually quite the opposite. There is no reason for Putin to...
March 06, 2025 at 15:24
So in the same answer you don't believe Russia attacking the EU yet then you believe maybe Russia would attack the EU. These delirious opinions should...

Wtf, no Iceland? At least I heard Icelandic leader being quite on the side of Ukraine. Even if they don't have an army and are a tiny nation.
March 06, 2025 at 12:06
I would agree to this when it comes to Putin, Netanyahu, Bush etc. But Trump really is an exception here. Let me put it this way: Was there a drive in...

I think a real genuine problem is that European leaders have a hard time to see how erratic Trump is and how the Trump administration will follow ever...

Well, then let's refer to the Senate Intelligence Committee report on Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election: But oh! In...

You need a strong military and the will to fight the aggressor to have real deterrence. Appeasement will bring that cataclysmic war with Russia. Only ...

I bet 1 euro that it won't happen like that. The opposition to Elon Musk and Trump will rise. Perhaps Trump will then want to use the insurrection act...

Canada isn't going with 25% tariffs on everything, so the response isn't Trumpian. I find the 100% tariffs on Tesla quite apt to the situation. And of...

And now I think it's time for a conspiracy theory, in my view. Europeans have to wake up and understand that they are alone. Or then they have to bow ...

Oh, I think the picture is taken from some Russian follower of X or something. Actually fittingly. I just occasionally view X as it's simply a propaga...

Really? Putin starts it like this: Try to say this, they are just one people, is quite an offense of another sovereign state. And he doesn't think thi...
