Defense procurement is long term thing. And that's why something like SAFE does tell a lot. Is there for Trump so much? If he get Greenland and the co...

Actually, let's be a bit more specific about just how it went: The US Military, on it's own and without the politicians in Washington, actually basica...

In decades we will have actual history writing. And when it comes to Trump, it really can be things like he got pissed off about Maduro dancing and ri...

I think that Saddam Hussein was responsible for a lot more of suffering and death than the previous busdriver then President Maduro ever did. Saddam's...

Do notice one aspect here: everybody in the US Foreign Policy sphere, which obviously includes the Brookings Institute, is now walking on egg shells. ...

These "adults in the room" aren't adults in the room, as in Trump's first administration. Only vaguely Marco Rubio tries to give an impression of norm...

Good to see your neocon side, NOS4A2. I didn't remember you being such a great fan of nation building. The political opposition to Trump hasn't woken ...

What nobody even mentions is Article 1: NATO is dead if the US uses violence of the threat of violence to take Greenland. Not just maimed as the UN is...

I think you are correct. Just look how problematic ultimates like infinity are still in math and logic. What is good and what is bad? You and I may ag...

Soo... should there be an "US annexation of Greenland" thread too? Really thinking of it. https://polarjournal.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Katie-Mi...

A lot more worse. Civil war. Hundreds of thousands of dead. Widespread famine. Failed state with competing regime that have divided the country. Or be...

Sorry, I didn't understand this part.
January 04, 2026 at 21:54
Exactly. But when one is stupid and full of oneself, one doesn't even notice how fucked up the whole situation is from the start.
January 04, 2026 at 21:50
Just what institutions I ask? In his press conference, Trump mentioned oil 20 times while he didn't mention drugs, war on drugs or democracy at all. T...

To break the Atlantic tie between the US and Europe, just as to hinder the European Union has been a plan of Russia for a long time. So the Russians a...

Next stop, Greenland. Trump wants it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwVJq6BhRZE

Oh, the White House has a plan today. It'll be different tomorrow. And then a totally different the next month. And so on.... Hence the Folk is correc...
January 04, 2026 at 03:26
No. This is actually a plan to get rid of the US from being the sole Superpower. And Trump is eager to carry out his role, if he gets the billions he ...

If only that comment would be sarcasm. With you, I'm not so sure: Trump Has Dropped the Price of One Thing: Cocaine Trump has now his own "special mil...

Not just capable, but simply acts without any clear long term plan. Or then "the plan" is illogical mixture of right-wing ideology and increasing Trum...
January 04, 2026 at 00:30
Well, Trump did say just a while ago that they will run Venezuela. Just what this "deal" will be isn't so easy. Now it's possible that he will act sim...

No. The response to terrorism from small cabals and individuals who are fighting for some messianic lunacy is very difficult. There's no one silver bu...

Oh, you get it so wrong. Prior the terrorist attacks, the UK police didn't care what was preached in various mosques or what kind of leaflets were dis...

One time, eh? I think there's far more examples of "censorship" actually working and it being positive that the actions worked, even if freedom of spe...

It doesn't make sense. Just like the term "narcoterrorists" (something similar to "islamofascists" that the Bush administration came up with). Trump a...

What else? And likely Susy really tells the ugly truth here: And I think that this is the brainfart that Trump is now following. He just assumes that ...

It isn't. Check how many similarities you find with this speech from an US president in 2003. Do you find: - The offender insists that they were victi...

Doubtful that Trump would just go randomly to impose a blockade of China. The problem is if China declares a blockade against Taiwan, which it sees as...

Do you references to this? One sunk US aircraft carrier, or an other major surface combatant sunk, would be enough to give the US a "Pearl Harbour"-mo...

Yep. I'd put the emphasis on "Cold" part. Indeed only because of nuclear weapons did the US and Soviet Union have so little amount of armed skirmishes...

This was a clear case. Thanks for the time to explain and give the reasons. Far better than just to say "banned for homophobia".
December 21, 2025 at 11:23
I agree with this, so I think you aren't getting my point here. Or do you consider that a sentence on false grounds is less of a breach of one's freed...
December 21, 2025 at 11:21
I think here you are mixing liberal idealism and practical statecraft and thus argue that liberalism hinders the latter. Even now in laws we universal...

People shouldn't get falsely arrested. Yet actually convictions are where the actual issue lies. Anyone can make claims that this or that person's pub...
December 20, 2025 at 18:31
Arrests are one thing, convictions are another. I think the question is if in the UK these arrests/convictions are multiple times more than in other O...
