According to Trump, Hegseth, and Vance, Obama, Biden, and every other stupid president before Trump are the root of all evil.

Now they claim they are the ones who will save the world.

Team America, go, go.

Oh, and I forgot the foreign minister, and the CIA and FBI chiefs. They are in it up to their necks too

At least the famous German party did look like men in power, and spoke like men in power, but these nut heads becomes Beavis and Butthead in prime time.

Even saw Sylvester Stallone up there and promoted the great things Trump did for the country. What an actor he is

We will see what next president have to say, and I believe you do know what it takes to leave Nato? Or?

We have to deal with any scenario coming at us, same as your country, and if you guys do not know what we contributed with to your country, well, goodbye and good luck, because you needs us as much as we needs you.

Do you know how many countries contributes to your weapons and weapon systems? Do you think Usa alone have all the resources to produce everything by yourself? Ai

This discussion is a dead end. We clearly do not deal in facts, history, or reason the same way, so there is no point continuing!

If you want a clear answer, then here it comes. I hope we end everything with USA if maga sets the new order for future!

I know Canada, and many other countries will follow the same way!

Good luck

Got it. So us being in or out is meaningless for you. Cool. So its up to us.

Curious on a purely intellectual level, what do you think your country should do for defense after we are gone?

Do you think we are without friends? The question is, if USA team up with Russia, we got a problem, but as long USA stay clear of Russia, we are good.

USA got enough to deal with in middle East, south America, South China Sea and Africa. So do not worry, we will take care of ourselves.

Again good luck

Energy markets start tuning Trump out after repeated Iran war whiplash

President Donald Trump has repeatedly sought to tamp down the surging price of oil by telling investors what they’re eager to hear: The war in Iran is almost over.

But after hearing that message for weeks, with fighting ongoing and no plan for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, they’re increasingly tuning him out.

Nearly two weeks after Trump’s sudden declaration of “productive” talks with Iran sent a premature jolt of optimism through the oil markets, energy analysts and traders say the president’s attempts to jawbone investors into lowering prices have cost him his credibility — and convinced them that the war’s economic consequences are only set to worsen.

Here's how the oil market for WTI (West Texas Intermediate) responded to Trump's speech:

Which European nations are going to step up and fight Russia

Which European nations are going to step up and fight Russia

Given that Russia would be fighting a war on 2 fronts, do you think that the European NATO forces wouldn't be capable of stopping them. I'd bet that just Finland, Sweden, and Poland could easily do it.

Is Hegseth a traitor? No wonder the Iran war is going so poorly. Seems like he is devoting all of this attention to making sure high ranking, very smart and accomplished women and men of color are not being promoted.

A racist? Absolutely. An abomination? Definitely. Incompetent? Definitely. A traitor? Quite possibly.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired Gen. Randy George, the Army’s chief of staff, on Thursday, a move that reflects growing hostility between Mr. Hegseth and the Army’s leadership, military officials said.

General George, who was appointed to his position in 2023, led the Army out of one of its worst recruiting crises in history in 2024 and more recently has pushed the service to accelerate its acquisition of cheap drones and other kinds of weapons that have come to dominate the war in Ukraine.

The tension with Mr. Hegseth was not rooted in substantive differences over the direction of the Army, military officials said. Rather it is the product of Mr. Hegseth’s long-running grievances with the Army, battles over personnel and his troubled relationship with Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll, the officials said. Over the last year, General George and Mr. Driscoll had formed a tight partnership, officials said.

Mr. Hegseth has also clashed in recent months with General George and Mr. Driscoll over the defense secretary’s decision to block the promotion of four Army officers to be one-star generals.

Two of the officers targeted by Mr. Hegseth are black and two are women on a promotion list that consisted of 29 other officers, most of whom are white men. Mr. Hegseth’s highly unusual decision to remove the officers prompted some senior military officials to question whether they were being singled out because of their race or gender, officials said.

Harrisfan, is that you?

One thing is very clear re trumps war: Oil companies, arms dealers, and many Trump billionaire and multimillionaire buddies are and will continue making millions upon millions.

Maybe Trump will start a new subscription service: For only 100 million purchase of Trump crypto crap you will receive personalized updates a minimum of one hour prior to any Trump announcements of more bombing, withdrawals, war is over, war is ramping up, more troops on the way to middle east, all troops on way back to USA. Be sure and use the information to manipulate markets and pocket millions in a matter of minutes. No worries re insider trading. The DOJ and FBI and SEC do as they are told by dear leader.

Need a new home in the hamptons? A new Yatch? A new hot top model girlfriend/hooker? Pesky investigations cancelled and buried deeper than Epstein files? Sign up today and the world's your oyster.

Wars make many people very very rich. They also make many many people very dead.

Or perhaps it’s the pretex they need to end putin and his regime……but then again with trump being more an asset to the enemy they need to weight the possibility of trump cutting off Europe to help his pal putin.
