Can we get a Minnesota thread because honestly the conflict there is going to be more intense.

i had no idea what this was about. I just did some quick research and what the actual fuck. Nevermind the cause or how it came to be but.

Alledgedly - A doctor on site asked to check on the woman for a pulse and the ICE agent said 'I don't fucking care' and stopped him?

What is wrong with law enforcement agencies in America it's like it's gone back to the wild west 1800's.

Yes, that doctor video was pretty unsettling.

Well, that's it. America isn't ready for this. Even Delta Force won't stand a chance.

"Hey American, we were told to shoot first and ask questions later, is that ok?"
 
In today's world, you either align yourself with the US or you align yourself with a collection of authoritarian regimes.

So it's collection of authoritarians regimes vs. USA that acts like a bully (not much different than those authoritarian regimes).

Bad choice either way. Looks like Trump really want to destroy post WW2 order and NATO.

Long story short:
In today's world, you either align yourself with a collection of authoritarian regimes or you're not really a country but a bank for the oligarchs of those authoritarian regimens.

But you have to be crazy to willingly align with other than the US regime.

US is the lesser of two evils for sure.

And that tells you all, so far USA was "evil" only in the eyes of communist dictators and Muslim countries but thanks to Trump more and more parts of the world start to perceive it like that. Bad PR.

Now its worth commenting on trumps postulating on Greenland being pretty dumb and hyperbolic.

But the response is just as equally retarded.

Like surely the adult response is. "We understand Trump just wants to make a deal, we are willing to meet and hear him out but by no means are we changing our minds on who owns greenland"

Instead the EU are acting like they are ready to go to war with the US now.

Fucking global leaders 🤣 a bunch of clowns and morons the lot of them, how any of them got to where they are is baffling.

Well we know how, corruption and nepotism and dei

That guy doesn't unload 3 rounds into her, they both live. She was turning past him and he shot her as was driving by.

Very disappointing seeing Americans justifying the killing of innocent people like Charlie Kirk and this woman.
The fact that you just tried to conflate Charlie Kirk, who was sitting down and talking on a microphone to a crowd, with this deranged woman, who tried to run over a government agent with her car, is really quite hilarious to me

Just so you know, trying to run someone over with your car is considered assault with a deadly weapon at minimum and could be attempted manslaughter or second degree murder at a maximum. These are serious felonies

There's no crime associated with sitting down and talking on a mic to a crowd
 
Afghanistan was always reverting to Taliban control once the US left. It's just unfortunate the withdrawal was conducted by the most incompetent administration in US history.
Depends on their intent. In terms of short-sighted greed, I think it was a huge success.
 


Looks like Lithuania have sent Hannibal Lecter to help Danes.

Hopefully it goes to a court of law to determine her intent. Because observing the multiple video angles of it, it certainly doesn't look like running him over was her intent.

No matter what her intent was she should comply with federal agents and nothing would have happened. Most of the time people are killed by their own stupidity in situations like these.

The prime minister of Denmark is actually super based, Trump would like her. She said criminal immigrants are ruining the country, and she is trying to get a system going where any immigrant with a prison sentence over one year will be automatically sent out of the country.

She is also trying to remove pension and social benefits for anyone who has been involved in organized crime, "they don't deserve the benefits we have worked to create", as she says.
I had no idea what you were talking about so I looked into this



I feel like Trump should just call the Prime Minister of Denmark and have a friendly chat with her for a couple hours. By the end of it, she'll probably give us Greenland for free if we send our ICE over to train them on how to deport illegal immigrants in exchange

I don't know. In Europe for sure but a lot of people outside our bubble seems happy with the guy. That said, if they put a foot on Greenland I hope the EU toast them. We made imperialism before it was popular.

Right wing parties in Europe also like Trump (but most of them are in opposition, not ruling majority).

A modern day Battle of Thermopylae

Wizna battle was like that, 720 Polish soldiers vs. 40.000 Germans



Sabaton is great...

This kind of ssss…stuff is ruining European politics but it's true that in Northern Europe they have a problem with this people. Their fault in the first place for being so naive. We already throw them away 600 years ago. Ask us anything.

They love him because Putin says so, and he is their main sponsor.

You guys threw a Calvary regiment against an armoured column of tanks. I wouldn't be laughing at your Viking neighbours.

Not northern only, the whole of west europe is being actively invaded by these people and sent into ruin. The only point I can agree on from the US administration. You can see it here (Belgium) everywhere. I work 1 day a week in Brussels and it's basically an arab city... an absolute hellhole like Trump described it.

And SOME right wing parties are Russian sponsored. PiS in Poland (Law and Justice) hate Russians even more than current center-left government but they are very pro Trump and his actions.

Belgium is northern enough to me XDDD Yes in some parts of Western Europe happens but it's not in the same scale of Sweden, where 10 million people welcomed half of Syria. The solution is obvious. We Christianised a whole continent and now we can compensate our lacking demographics with new blood that already has most of our culture (minus the autism north of the Alps).

You're welcome, Europe. You're welcome.

Poland is an exception in Europe. Eastern and yet Catholic. Super right wing and yet modern Rusia hater. Newly added to the EU but on track to surpass our GDPpc at the speed of light. And they say the chick are a looker too. Insanely based country.

CDPR is overrated, tho.

Are you in Spain by any chance?
 
Classic Anglo-Saxon try-harder mentality. We deal with the problems one nap at a time!!

LMAO you guys think you're the masters of taking a long time to build cathedrals?

The Milan Cathedral was started in 1386 and declared "complete" in 1965 when the Italians decided were tired of working on it. Total construction duration of 579 years lol
 
That's nothing: "Cologne Cathedral took an astonishing 632 years to build, starting in 1248 and finally completing in 1880"

PIGS: They hate us because they ain't us!


PIGS = Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. It used to be PIIGS but Ireland got rich and we kicked them out of the cool kids club.

Problem is these people have 4-5 kids and live of social benefits. Most working people here can't have more kids than 1 or 2.
We don't have the time to properly raise them because we actually have to work and pay for our kids' stuff and our own stuff without any help from handouts. They don't give a fuck about raising their kids. Let the streets do it and when they break the law we just let it slide every time.

That's also the only thing I envy Russia for, these assholes would be sent to the gulag in siberia right away or dropped of as human mine sweepers in Ukraine.

Sadly the only parties that want to be really hard on migration here are also Russia sympathisers. Far right would be dead in Europe in an instant if all the other parties would take a much much harder stance on migration and the punishment of the crimes they commit.

Bully? The US is doing what its European partners have consistently failed to do. Step up and make sure the Western world comes out on top. Europe, collectively, is in decline and it's of their own making. The US, under Trump, isn't going to wait for Europe to wake up. Because its rivals aren't sleeping.

If you want to blame someone for putting stress on the alliance, blame Europe. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, that should have been the moment Europe snapped out of it and remembered that words aren't weapons when someone stops listening. Instead, they continued allowing their militaries to erode, put a large part of their energy needs in the hands of our rivals, and pulled their economies down to a crawl in the name of regulation and welfare.

This isn't bullying. This is America saying, "Fine. I'll do it myself".

That's it, almost everywhere. I support classic left-wing positions on many issues, including workers' rights, progressive taxation, public ownership of utilities, gender equality, and environmental issues. Historically, even the milquetoast social democrats of Germany had been strong on migration control and Islam. Heck, one of our most prominent and well-regarded chancellors, Helmut Schmidt of the SPD, was extremely outspoken on the issue until his death. But the modern left has a strong disdain for native populations, sometimes outright hatred, has made a mockery of their core competencies, and in many countries has gone completely off the rails, along with the Christian Democrats, who have gone through a similar process.

I think people would be quite accommodating to all that woke BS if only their home countries were still intact otherwise. But among all other issues, people are noticing that, demographically speaking, their countries are turning green very fast, just not the "green" environmentalists originally envisioned. A sizable part of the media and the government is gaslighting their own electorate about things that are so obviously happening that even Ray Charles could see it. Some countries, like Denmark and Poland, have relatively strict migration policies as a matter of national consensus, and I think they will be fine. For others, it will boil down to a choice between a slow and painful takeover by Islamists through compromised elites, already happening in the UK, or those ragtag far-right parties that used to be a joke but are the only ones willing to at least try to do something about the issues at hand.

Had Biden just closed the southern boarders and enforced strict policies on immigration like the current Trump admin, the Democrats would be in a much better position. But of course they didn't, and I doubt they are able to course-correct on that issue.
 
The US under Trump is a textbook example of an empire in decline, in which an empire for a myriad of reasons (mostly economic) chooses to not employ the soft power anymore that it has accrued and has served them for centuries but instead rely more and more on blatant force and coercion. It's a logical consequence of the world (threatening to) become more multi-polar than before. This is the US basically saying "don't forget, we're the only actual superpower" to the rest of the world and China in particular. It's a "smart" policy. It forces China to choose. Risk open war, or back off. And China will most likely choose the latter. Not so smart is that the rest of the world witnesses the US mask-off, with all the consequences that may come with that. This strategy may (and will) work in the short-term, but long-term the fate of the of the US has already been sealed. The US will crumble from within. I think that's the main reason why China chooses to be this (almost pathetically) passive. "Do nothing and win" seems to be doing unironically well for them.

I agree that Europe should act in 2014 (or even before), they allowed Russians to do whatever they want - similar to what Nazi germany did annexing Austria an Czechoslovakia (and West was doing nothing).

But at the same time - using force on your own ally? How is it gonna help Ukraine or Taiwan? It will have opposite effect, China will feel like that "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" and do whatever it wants with their neighbors.

Trum risks destruction of NATO, and for what?

More like the US saying "Fine, I can't consistently rely on my soft power anymore, so the gloves are coming off to ensure our national interests are met which we previously used diplomacy for."

It's one of the main characteristics of a dying empire. When you (threaten to) go after your own literal allies and risk destroying the military alliance that ensured you of your role as the world's only true hegemonic world power, then you know you're fucked. It's just a matter of time.

Tbh withdrawing from NATO might actually make the Europeans place a higher value on their own defense.

Yet Russia did this. Twice. In the span of 8 years. Well before current events. None of these authoritarian regimes hold back because they respect the international order. They hold back when they fear actual retaliation. And Europe hasn't been doing much to help there, have they?

For the last 20+ years, the US has had much less in the way of European allies and much more in the way of European dependents. They've been utterly useless in enforcing the will of "the international order". Your sloppy analysis is the same one that's been spewed for decades now.

Probably, yes. It could also change how connected via economy USA and Europe are, EU might want to change that and have stronger relations with China and SA countries.

I mean, after backstab like that from "a friend" and ally everything is possible.
