    he also said…

    • Iran would take 2 weeks

    • Gas prices would be cheaper

    • The economy would be better

    • he was a “stable genius”

    • Biden and Obama were the worst presidents in history

    • he’s not a pedophile

    And he’s 0-6 on all those.

    Dude should read into what traditional casus belli can be caused by, notably one of those things is preemptive war caused by repeated threats to invade.

        If Denmark pushes EU to an economic war, then the USD is no longer the petrol dollar and will crash immediately.

        The US relies in Europe for their economy to a greater deal than the EU relies on the US. But an economic war between the worlds two largest economies will cause global economic instability for a bit.

        Personally I were shocked EU didn’t attack the petrol dollar at the beginning of the Hormuz closure, as that was the easy way to keep energy flowing out of the strait.

          Denmark has allowed the US to have new bases in Denmark while the US was threatening Greenland. The EU is made up of countries and many have good relations with the US.

            Several EU countries have been distancing themselves from the US for the past year and a half, but apparently they didn’t feel prepared for cutting contact this spring.

            Was it three trade agreements signed since Trump went to office? Mercosur, India and Australia iirc. They’ve all been laying around in a drawer, with minor details missing. Boom, they’re all good now.

            That’s not at random, that’s Europe positioning itself to not rely on the US. The continent has been awakened and the drift away is going to happen. The US wanted to be isolated, they can’t stop the movement now.

            India is going to replace a fair share of the reliance Europe has on the US. But Africa is right there next door screaming for investment, no need to invest in the US

              Mercosur, India and Australia

              Mercosur wasn’t signed in Colombia at the initially planned date. That looked like US influence.

              India is built up against China, with an extreme right government that looks US made.

              Australia is big but with a small population. That looks more like a support of the American shift to Asia since it came with a defence agreement if I remember correctly.

              But Africa is right there next door screaming for investment

              So why don’t we invest?

                India is built up against China, with an extreme right government that looks US made.

                But it’s a democracy which is moving in the right direction in terms of personal freedoms.

                Australia is big but with a small population. That looks more like a support of the American shift to Asia since it came with a defence agreement if I remember correctly.

                Looking at the official statement, it’s a direct jab against the US turning away from a rules based order. This agreement is not to glaze the US, far from it.

                The EU and Australia are already long-standing allies and partners, whose global outlook is aligned in terms of defending multilateralism and the rules-based international order.

                https://www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/australia/eu-and-australia-strengthen-relations-security-and-defence-partnership-and-trade-agreement_en?s=163

                So why don’t we invest?

                We are, but we should be investing more. And more importantly, we should cleverly flood the Arabic peninsula with euroes through energy trade. To make Saudi Arabia assert its soft power in Africa and weaken the US in the process.

                We honor the US embargo. There is no independence.

                There’s no way we can break a US blockade on Cuba, just like the US successfully can’t invade France. Distance is a hell of an issue.

                Cuba is too insignificant to cause a greater international reaction

      Ye…the boys and girls who shouted for years that they were the vanguard of democracy ánd who for years complained that people of Iran, China and Russia should ‘rise up’ and ‘get rid’ of their tyrannic leaders are now more willing than any other people to throw their hands up and surrender in the face of the dumbest, most incompetent autocrat that has ever risen to power.

      In fact, the US is one of the few countries in the world where average citizens can legally own an automatic rifle or organize a militia and literally no one has tried to wrestle power from him including the supposed opposition party. Think about it; dozens of kids and teachers get blown away by crazed teen shooters each year. Thousands die from armed robberies and murders committed with firearms.

      And the reason they never banned that crap is because of an almost sacred right to defend yourself from tyrannic rule. So, if you’re not going to do that, why even have firearms in the first place?!

      Yes, but only if the world takes Trump seriously when he makes threats.

      I cannot overstate how dangerous the TACO Trump Always Cowards Out mentality is because what makes Trump so dangerous is he is too much of a coward to back down.

      Europe is throwing the world into chaos by ignoring this reality.

      I’m reasonably confident that if trump actually gave the order it would probably result in a military coup. He’s not popular with the generals after he got them all together, pulling many of them from assignments overseas, just to insult them for no readily apparent reasons.

        Nazi Germany had already been defeated at the time of operation paper clip you twit. If they had that much global control why did they then let themselves lose the war.

        If you’re gonna come up with brainless conspiracy theories you need to make some sort of coherent sense.

        You should go with claiming that the Nazis invented a time machine to escape prosecution and traveled forward in time to the 21st century, it’s just a stupid a claim but I can’t actually disprove that one.
