You just know that Trump hasn't thought this through except in the most superficial way and that all he cares about is his ego , money and family. The rest is in flux.

I'm not a Trump supporter - just a brit watching this in a state of disbelief.

Depends on how he does it. I'm past caring about things I have no control over I'm just one of the little people. If I was a Greenlander and he offered me a million bucks and a US passport, maybe I'd say yes. 2 millon there's no maybe.

There are boots on the ground anyway all he needs to do is expand the current base and restore some of the abandoned ones if that was possible, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Century

I suspect if you can rerun history and see the oucomes and had Ukraine shorn of it's 10% Russophobic hate them at all costs uber nationalists then most folks would have prefererd to muddle through with a reluctant cap doff to the bear. They are in the worse of all worlds now - shored up by faltering western support and a mortal enemy of Russiaon their flank and all the slavas in the wrold can't hide that.

Very true - the biggest problem is when you have massive debts and a poor manufacturing base and a restless population that votes that wants more butter than guns. China looks better placed than the US in medium to long term.

Maduro took the ride if only Zelenskiy had done the same Ukaraine wouldn't be in ruins.

You fascists are getting a real hard on today....

It's not that wild it's probably the truth despite who says it. We are at 1938 now prepare for war. https://spectator.com/article/maduros-capture-wasnt-about-oil/ The fall of Maduro is also a sharp rebuke to the Kremlin, though less strategically damaging to Moscow than to Beijing. While Russia loses a platform for its own power projection and a rhetorical ally who validated Putin’s own authoritarianism, it is China that suffers the material loss. Beijing’s patient, expensive cultivation of influence has been undone in a night. Ultimately, those seeking the logic of this intervention in ExxonMobil’s balance sheets are looking in the wrong place. This was not about corporate profits. It was about the grand chessboard of the 21st century. The capture of Maduro was a preparatory move, a clearing of the decks in preparation for a longer game of great-power competition. The United States has decided that if it must face the dragon in the Pacific, it will not have it breathing down its neck in the Caribbean.

He doesn't even need to do sharesies...

It's called paying the bills for work done the US approach is simple thug power theft because he can. The Nobel Prize winner Trump rs licker is finding she isn't needed as she might actually be popular and democratic whearas Trump just wants the oil. Even Hitler wasn't that "crude" to pardon a pun.

You people want WW3 you really scare me.

When I see the words Goldman Sachs, my heart is filled with existential dread.

That's what he told me on a trip to Sattahip from Jonmtien in a brand spanking new car still with plastic on the seaTs. He maybe nicking his work's leccy I didn't dig down into the claim - he was moonlighting on Bolt.

And you are a non-drinking celibate Buddhist helping the poor and striving to create a more liberal Thailand by supporting the nascent democracy movements at great risk to yourself and your family but change has to start somewhere !!

Yes - I love my cheap tech and stuff - they are making a good job of it. Had a Bolt ride in a brilliant Chinese car yesterday. He payed 600k for it and it's uses 2k of electricty per month as oposed to 15k of gas which pollutes the atmosphere. They are both cheap and good - you can buy your $5k iphone from America if you want asnd chuck you pc away. China trades - Amercia invades. China builds - America destroys and they clip the wings of their oligarchs - what's not to like ?

You can basically safely ignore anything in the Daily Excess unless it's about Pincess Di or Maddie Mcann.

There is a trace of the deplorable in all of us, if we are honest. What I would say is that to live successfully in Thailand, one has to make peace with a lower calibration of the moral compass than would typically apply in Western liberal democracies. Those without a deep connection to Thailand unlike many of us here often hold a jaundiced view of the people who choose to come.

Trump likes the uneducated as does Thailand both are a magnet for the deplorables. Changy chang chang !

Commies like you want to stuff drugs down the throats of western kids and hollow out our sociteies from within. ENOUGH !

That second video is AI junk.

It is a Special Military Operation to decommunize a rogue leftist goverment in the US backyard and stop it falling into rival power blocks. The Donroe Doctrine -it's also genuis Trump and his family can gut the worlds economy where they can enrich their family and friedns beyond compare and pardon themselvs on the way out. SHEER GENUIS ON THEIR PARTS - but the mugs that enabled them my god. Tme for China to take back Taiwan.

Trump has truly made Amercia Great Again - all hail the Chief - and to all that don't we have a liitle list.... https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115832049332877712

Trump should now take Greenland - shock and awe. Take out their leader and get their minerals.
