Laughable. Let's start with the noisiest, the Brits. The UK armed forces total around 50,000 active members, which will fit into Wembley stadium with room left over for WAGs. In Ukraine? They will be arrested by the local constables.

 

And then is the problem that they can't get it up. Successive attempts to launch Trident missiles failed: https://www.chathamhouse.org/2024/02/second-failed-trident-test-time-expand-and-invest-britains-conventional-capabilities

 

France, German and Italy all have equally boutique AFs. If Uncle Sam walks the Europeans will be scrambling to cover their tiny manhoods. They need to come to DC and grovel some more. This week wasn't enough.

Oh, look. Another Russian troll.

Then, let's get the hell out of NATO -- and save nearly a trillion dollars annually. No need for DOGE trump change -- just pack up and leave European defense to the Europeans -- NATO certainly doesn't provide any defense to the US.

Please remind us of ALL the occasions that NATO Article 5 has been activated.

We all know your habits, but I asked, who is "We"..

I thought you, an American residing in a commy country, do you work for the CIA, to refer to yourself as "We"...🤔

I think things are about to get really frosty between Europe and the US.

About to get frosty? 

 

That's like predicting the winner of last years Kentucky Derby...

As a matte rof fact, US's withdrawals from NATO is Highly Unlikely.

Even though Trump makes a turbulence during his term.

 

According to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2024, the president cannot order own government to leave NATO, without 2/3 majority votes of the Federal Senate. 

This law was passed while Republican Party was Senate majority.

I very much want to agree, but Trump may have a way around it — and it’s a method he has used before.: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/08/trump-nato-congress-courts-00188426

Hi, thank you for your post.

So there is some sort of  "Loophole", Trump can take advantage of, when he wants to quit NATO. 

But at the same time, US congress  can serve the "Buttress against it; by taking their president to the (supreme) court?

It would appear that that is the case, but I think that the entire world is heading for a divorce with the US. Trump is doing his level best to alienate every ally that we have, and all that's going to be left is Russia, China and North Korea. They seem to be his best friends anyway, even though he does moan a lot about China, he's likely in bed with Xi, just as much as he's in bed with Putin. 

 

It's a shame, as it's an 80-year alliance and it's a very necessary alliance. Europe as a whole is still quite powerful and quite dynamic and we need them. Especially as the creep cozys up to Putin. 

 

 

The US is a bigamist heading for divorce with all the decent women with whom it's been having relations.

 

All that will be left are the toothless, addicted, skanky street hookers like North Korea and Russia.

 

The equity market is beginning to throw up a little in its mouth. Projectile vomiting is coming.

 

The Atlanta Federal Reserve altered its GDP forecast for 1st Quarter 2025, from the +2.3% it projected while Biden was still President to a -1.3% today, under the new guy.

Rest assured he does not work for the agency.

 

For case officers, the agency has a cut off point in terms of IQ, and it is more than a std dev above the mean. Besides, Cambodia is not exactly a hot bed of agency activity or concern.

 

Now the FBI might have some interest in perverts who could be dallying with youngsters, but that would be under directors like Wray. I doubt Patel cares about actual crimes, as his mandate from the boss is more geared toward vindictiveness.
