Guess this explains why the summer of 2020 riots were "mostly peaceful". Loony lefties don't consider vandalism and property destruction to be violence.

I agree, let Europe do what it wants to do. ESPECIALLY let Europe defend itself. Too many free riders and Cheap Charlies who are counting on Uncle Sugar to save their bacon. All the while sneering when they are hit with the cold hard truth. I remember years ago when Trump scolded them for being too reliant on Russian fossil fuels and they nearly laughed in his face. Who's laughing now, soyboys?

I like Megyn but she needs to STFU once in a while and let her guests actually talk. She has the bad habit of asking a question, then saying "now let me tell you what I think..." I would recommend; Triggernometry with Constantin Kisin The Fifth Column with Michael Moynihan, Matt Welch, and Kmele Foster No Agenda with Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak Part of the Problem with Dave Smith

Definitely in decline, but also pretty much the only fleet to even try in NATO.

You make fair points from a strategic and Command/Control perspective. To use a possibly silly analogy, "too many cooks spoil the broth". You also mentioned a vital but often overlooked problem- that of 'projecting power'. The US is really the only country with strategic airlift and sealift capacity, long range strike aircraft, etc. But Europe has been hiding behind Uncle Sugar for decades. I just watched an interesting documentary on Deutche Weille (spelling probably terrible) TV about who can lead Europe, and why it isn't Germany. The collective GDP of Europe is more than 10 times that of Russia. It should be easy to put together a strong and unified defence. But 30 years of foot dragging will be hard to overcome in the short term.

Good. They can panic their way back to where they came from. Gaza needs medical personnel, and they can live happily amongst other anti-semitics. Yet somehow I have a feeling they are reluctant to give up the comfort and luxury of living in a western style democratic country. They are the worst kind of posers.

You are right. No amount of weapons will help when the need is bodies. Ukraine is running out of bodies. So either the Europeans/US join in the fun and risk WW3, or the war ends with some harsh conditions for Ukraine. Any other outcome seem possible?

Thanks, that is a reasonable alternative. Sad that others can only keep bleating out what they consider to be funny quips and 'gotchas' instead of articulating anything remotely serious.

Whether or not the US contributes to any defence of a NATO country shouldnt prevent the European members from participating. They are more than welcome to send in their troops and fight the Russian scourge.

Applied fairly or not, it is STILL the law. "Hey, that guy is getting away with it" is a poor argument. Now, if the police were fining foreigners for things that are not illegal, different story. But there is no indication that that is happening.

Funny, I don't see too many reports of Jewish medical staff threatening to kill Muslim patients, do you? Or recent Jewish immigrants using cars as weapons to terrorize the population.

So, as many have asked, what is YOUR alternative? Ukraine cannot win back their territory without direct military intervention (troops and air power) from NATO. Do you support this? In war, sometimes the bad guy wins. The best WE can do is minimize the effect.

Simon makes sense. Of course nobody wants to see a bully profit from their aggression. But the cost of returning to status quo ante is more than the game is worth. Is Ukraine worth a potential World War 3 between NATO and Russia? That is the bottom line. Because the Ukranians won't be able to expell the Russians from their territory otherwise. They will only gradually lose more and more territory and more and more lives. Ukraine isnt a NATO member, or EU member, was never actually a free and democratic country. I don't think it is worth the expenditure of blood and treasure to make them whole. So they lose some land, gain some security guarantees, and move forward.

It is amazing how many people so deeply sympathize with the Palestinian people and their suffering, yet choose to stay in countries surrounded by kuffar and Jews. Logic dictates that they should take their medical talents and go support their 'people' directly, instead of being keyboard warriors.

Up to them, if they see advantage in it.

Europe can deal with European problems if they choose. Their combined GDP is ten times that of Russia. They have just been slack and lazy and depending on Uncle Sugar to look after them. Well, those days are over. Meanwhile, the Asia/Pacific region is where the real action is, and the centre of power for the next century. Europe is over.

They can't complain at all. AFAIK she is the first woman AND first Person of Colour to hold the post. All hail identity politics! Any criticism of her can be met with strident cries of "Racist!" and "Misogynist!".

Always on the warpath about something. Term limits are desperately needed.

Not true. Latest studies suggest that less than half of Israeli Jews are European or Russian descent. A similar number are North African/Asian.

The Jordanians are understandably wary of the Palestinians, given their past attempts to murder the Jordanian king. It is apparent that NOBODY likes or wants to aid the Palestinians. I say the easiest answer is to give Gaza back to Egypt. Hell, they ran the place in 1948 when Israel fought their war of independence. Let THEM deal with it.

And good luck to them if they choose to get involved.

There has been a death cult in the Palestinian territories for decades. You can see pictures of "martyrs" (dead terrorists) hanging in shops and restaurants everywhere. The books used in schools glorify death and demonize Israel. As the great Mark Steyn wrote; On the West Bank, almost all the humdrum transactions of daily life take place in a culture that glorifies depravity: you walk down a street named after a suicide bomber to drop your child in a school that celebrates suicide-bombing and then pick up some groceries in a corner store whose walls are plastered with portraits of suicide bombers.

Exactly. If the Arab countries don't like the Trump Plan, they can pony up the money and rebuild Gaza themselves. And host the Gazans while construction is happening. The vast majority of people living in Gaza are refugees, aren't they? They can be refugees somewhere else.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 102 seconds  

Agreed, which is why I used the word "general". In North America perhaps the greater problem is that even young ladies 'let themselves go' rather quickly. Any photos of a uni campus in the US will show a sad proportion of the students are already getting chunky. By contrast, I teach at an all-female university, and there is perhaps one girl per class who is anything approaching overweight.
