It's a scenario which has been considered in Europe. https://carnegieendowment.org/emissary/2025/04/can-europe-build-its-own-nuclear-umbrella?lang=en

Cheers!

Yes. Every time Trump backs down from his ridiculous tariffs policy, economic forecasts get better, and vice-versa! 🤣

Says a guy who still believes the big lie BS after all the lawsuits, recounts and audits he endlessly touted on this board miserably failed! 🤣

There was no more laptop conspiracy theory after the laptop content was ultimately made availableto MSM. Blame Giuliani for that. The border has not been wide open, you make stuff up again. No one claimed any vaccine was 100% safe, you are making that up again. And that's your conspiracy theory that a large number of deaths have been caused by the Covid vaccine (actually a Chinese conspiracy theory aimed at diverting attention from them). The claim that Covid vaccines would prevent transmission was an initial claim before scientific studies were made and quickly disappeared. Biden was not sharp as a knife but still better than Trump (of course, it's a personal opinion). Due to obvious uncertainties, everyone may be wrong at some time. However, still believing conspiracy B.S. such as the Big Lie, Joe Biden's receiving bribes, etc... despite factual evidence debunking them (or the absence of evidence supporting them) is a typical MAGA feature, as well as the frequency of referring to conspiracy theories in current posts (they can be found in MAGA posts in nearly every thread). 🤣 Feel free to react when a "liberal" is currently posting a ridiculous conspiracy theory, just as I feel free to do so. 🙂

Glad to know you acknowledge believing BS deep state conspiracy theories,. 😆

Deep state B.S. again...

No scoop. The full interview transcript has already been released one year ago! 🙂 https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/doj-hjc-hur-0000033-0000191.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwix5OnqsqqNAxUfTqQEHVb1NS0QFnoECCEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3Pmzy8UZZky52VDngm6JM_

It's unlikely that some terrorist organisation gets its hand on one, as they are well protected. However, it's not impossible to make a dirty bomb.

Australia, I guess. My comment was not only targeting Germany, but all related countries, including the U.S. If the U.S withdraws its nuclear protection of Europe (it's currently only a scenario), the only practical solution is nuclear proliferation. That would also mean the de-facto end of the treaty, and nuclear proliferation in other regions.

The debt level is certainly an issue that this administration needs to address! Oh wait! 😆 "The package would cut taxes deeply – essentially making permanent the sweeping individual income tax provisions of Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as well as adding several temporary tax breaks to fulfill the president’s campaign promises. It also calls for historic cuts to the nation’s safety net – particularly Medicaid and food stamps – in an effort to cut spending. But the tax revenue loss would still swamp the spending reductions. The package would add $3.3 trillion to the nation’s debt over the next decade, according to a preliminary estimate from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Annual deficits would jump from $1.8 trillion in 2024 to $2.9 trillion by 2034 as the federal government would continue to spend more than it would raise in revenue, the committee projected." The United States just lost its last perfect credit rating https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/16/business/moody-us-credit

Didn't Trump promise to reduce the debt burden? 😆 "The package would cut taxes deeply – essentially making permanent the sweeping individual income tax provisions of Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as well as adding several temporary tax breaks to fulfill the president’s campaign promises. It also calls for historic cuts to the nation’s safety net – particularly Medicaid and food stamps – in an effort to cut spending. But the tax revenue loss would still swamp the spending reductions.

That's a key issue. If the US withdraws its nuclear protection, the only solution is nuclear proliferation, I.e. countries such as Poland or Germany having their own nukes. The idea of another European country, such as France, extending its nuclear protection to other countries is meaningless. They are all avoiding to face this critical issue.

The EU has no military prerogative....🙂

It's nice to read that Trump's 51st State is a nonsense! 🙂

Says the famous Zeke Gary! 🤣

Keep updated. He's already been 86'd in 2017! 🤣

With the tweet from Matt Gaetz!

Brexiteers will never tell it because there was never a project. Brexit was an act of faith. So they complain the Tories, then Labour, torpedoed Brexit, but they are unable to articulate how it should be, according to them? For example, should it be the low-tax and low-protection, ultra-liberal economics version of Brexit, as touted by the so-called economists for Brexit? Or should it be a more protectionist andvsocial version for people who feel they have been left behind (i.e. in the NE)?

When there's some MAGA BS, you can be sure that Riclag will post it!

I forgot to upload the picture. It's nearly as distinguished as the golden sneakers. Only a MAGA would buy that crap for $640! https://nypost.com/2025/05/14/us-news/rhode-island-man-bummed-out-by-rump-typo-on-640-limited-edition-president-themed-watch-report/

I thought you were joking but it's actually true! https://nypost.com/2025/05/14/us-news/rhode-island-man-bummed-out-by-rump-typo-on-640-limited-edition-president-themed-watch-report/

From studies in developping countries such as India, and for concentrations (found in natural water) which were higher than the concentration applied and monitored for tap water in developped countries. Studies also did not test for other contaminants, which is an issue as water in developing countriesmay be of poor quality on that matter and is often poorly monitored. https://theconversation.com/is-fluoride-really-linked-to-lower-iq-as-a-recent-study-suggested-heres-why-you-shouldnt-worry-247093
