So what?

So you keep saying, with no proof. You've gone straight off-topic again anyway,

If you agree that the analogy with the Japanese crash and economic crisis of 1990 is fair, then you will have to agree that the US economy now is in a similarly dangerous "bubble". That bubble has not appeared overnight, but over 15 years of mainly very low interest rates and insanely high money creation via four rounds of QE (including the last during Covid). So Trump, or no Trump, and the Covid issue aside, this bubble is long overdue to pop.

The commitment to reach the 2% level was made in 2014 because the similar one in 2006 got nowhere! But yes, without Ukraine (Russia) they'd probably still be a$sing about.

The organization was not "fractured". In fact it has become far better funded and stronger over the last 6 years. If Putin was "emboldened", it was due to the disastrous US exit from Afghanistan.

Destablished? Nice one. Trump reamed out NATO members about low national defence budgets at the NATO HQ about 6 or 7 years ago, during his first term. The contributions improved a bit but there was still significant apathy (but little money) from more than half of the NATO members until.... 2022..when Russia attacked and invaded Ukraine. Then, after that, in 2024, contributions from all NATO members had exceeded the long agreed 2% of GDP, for the first time. The fact is that Trump was right. A shame that war had to break out before he was fully believed.

Like your neighbor?

Probably just a bad dream.

Amazing seamanship.

So wean the sippy simps on to JD.

Slange..

Bang on topic as ever. Brilliant.

Well, I don't think he drinks but no matter, he could just get it put in the diplomatic bag at the Paris embassy.

At best the US has some mediocre sparkling wine. If it's that bad then just make 300% then.
