Things are moving swiftly in Europe. Perhaps peace is on the horizon. US, Ukraine agree to terms of critical minerals deal https://www.reuters.com/wor...

It is interesting to wonder what would become of Europe without American hegemony to hide behind for the past half century. Would they be able to affo...

Expect some fire. https://twitter.com/warlorddilley/status/1892656617323143561?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X-LNfg

Sorry, I don’t follow Finnish politics. No matter who leads, I bet they’re beholden to Brussels. No, I do feel bad for the EU members and all those co...

Strikingly similar? It's not even close. I'm not sure if you're joking or trying to pull a fast one.

It’s text. It doesn’t sound like anything. Are the voices in your head throwing you off?

Last I heard your president was raving with celebrities and taking drug tests. JD’s historic speech wasn’t for Europeans, it was for the stuffy bureau...

I am Canadian. No, I agree with all you wrote Javi.

I am American. But you're absolutely right about everything else. I believe the US should not have inserted itself in European affairs, policed the wo...

I've always questioned the theory of life which underlies modern education. It seems geared towards vocation, the development of mechanical faculties ...

JD Vance’s speech to Europe’s elites was a dressing-down of the old establishment for their totalitarianism. In it he reiterated what he thought were ...

The whole premise is bad. Misinformation and “false beliefs” is not a threat, never has been, and their constant wolf-crying only empowers the most po...

They had a hearing the other day, the “Eliminating Waste by the Foreign Aid Bureaucracy”. Journalist Michael Shellenberger testified before the senate...

At any rate, the state will be slimmer and tax-payer dollars should be redirected to cover the cost of those areas.

How else will they pay back their loans?

This is stuff spent in other countries on boondoggle projects that have nothing to do with the American tax-payer. Entitlements, on the other hand, ar...

Sides have been engaged, which is a far cry from what Europe and NATO has done. It’s a shame because it appears the Euros just sat around, having expe...

Jesus. No wonder the country is broke. https://twitter.com/doge/status/1890849405932077378?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X-LNfg

It’s called diplomacy, a skill European’s seemed to have misplaced. Look how well all the silly war-mongering and war-profiteering has worked out unti...

Or like giving NATO what it wants. Finally some leaders willing to grasp the reality of the situation and compromise.

And that guy has done more to stop the war in his first month than Europe and the previous administration have done in years.

Not at all. He dressed them down as the enemy within, and their countries as totalitarian shit-holes.

JD Vance schools Europe’s overlords. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1890529020892058055?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X-LNfg

Thanks for the breakdown.

That would be true of all borrowing and spending. But it appears the debt to GDP ratio was falling in the decades following the enacting Medicare, so ...

Depends on the entitlement. I think out-of-control and unnecessary spending is the main culprit.

Important and damning info regarding the debt from DOGE. The debt spiral might not be able to be stopped. (It’s nice to see some transparency as oppos...

I know you like The Washington Post. Traumatized? Gaslit? How to know if you’re misusing therapy words.

RFK Jr. Confirmed. https://twitter.com/politico/status/1890077369454481896

Aah yes, manufactured talking points. Projection is one of the biases I was speaking of.

Like I said, the usual suspects.

Do you need laws to teach you how to behave, Jorn?

There is no principle at work, as far as I can tell. For instance when Biden defied the Supreme Court for his illegal student loan forgiveness, the us...

Pretty much.

One doesn’t need to live in the woods. He can live in a city if he wants. By buy-in and contribute to the laws, do you mean he doesn’t violate them? P...

According to Rousseau the will of a faction is a particular will, not the general will. I was using his terms. What have I granted by using them? Yes,...

Remember when Biden cancelled the border wall then two years later his own party begged him to restart it again? I bet life was a breeze not having to...

By “people” I mean those who voted for him. Not everyone voted, and not everyone voted for Trump. I figured that would be obvious.

He needs no congressional approval. He’s a special government employee, in this case appointed by the president to carry out the president’s mandate.

He works for the president of the United States. The people voted in the president to get Musk to do just what he is doing. Those offices are executiv...

Every illegal alien has committed a crime. That’s a 100% crime rate.

It’s not their office. They just work there, or used to.

Rousseau takes great pains to distinguish between the particular and general will, but I think he failed. There is no general will, and thus no Sovere...

To be fair it is a free for all in this thread, so go nuts and remind us of Vietnam. I don’t care. I just think it’s stupid to insult people for writi...

Well, we could test it. Go out and incite someone to do something. You can try it on me if you wish. You might find that it’s actually quite difficult...

Do want us to add a little addendum that excoriates the Vietnam War after each comment, in a thread that has nothing to do with the topics you mention...
