hi meister.

an interesting fact.

the dutch, the habsburgs, the prussians, napoleonic france, the ottoman empire , the british empire all collapsed shortly after they hit one parameter.

the money they were spending on interest for foreign debt began exceeding the ammount they were spending on their military.

The USA hit this circumstance last year.

Is it possible for america to fund the defence of europe , fund the conflict in the middle east and fund the defence of taiwan simultaneously.

it would appear not

Obama declared that america must pivot to the pacific during his term.

How then can trump solve the financial position and the military position.

How can he de escalate the situation in europe.

Is not the idea of american companies establishing a large presence whilst co-partnering with the ukraine in mining a win/win?

Would putin be likely to re kindle a war with the ukraine if there were 1000's of americans working in the ukraine, creating wealth for the ukranians and providing security in the process.

Is this not a possible solution?

The alternative would see Zalensky , in the words of sun tzu, "seeing the destruction of his country,so that he could rule over the ashes"

The USA can no longer take on russia, iran, china and north korea by itself.

putin is an evil man but he is very very mild compared to stalin (butcher of 20 million of HIS OWN PEOPLE) who was invited and indeed courted by FDR and churchill.

Trump can re establish a world that is much safer and more prosperous.

the alternative is "what exactly"??

...after Trump's election....

Secretary of State Marco Rubio just gave one of the BEST examples of how to lick President Trump's arse in public.

He's gonna be tasting Big Macs for the next two weeks.

And, Brigette Gabriel   

A radical Islamophobe who wrote an "autobiography" full of bullshit.

Rubio will be pulling fries out of his teeth for the next fortnight.

That "dribble rubbish" comes from Rubio.

I'm just the messenger, old boy.

Watch the video and try not to laugh, or vomit.

Rubio's tongue is so far up Trump's ass they'll need a pair of long-nose pliers to get it out.

Just to inject some sanity into this discussion - who's on first:-



Why is Zelensky being blamed for a war he did not start, but which was started due to Putler's megalomaniac urge to restore the old Russian Empire?  You blame him for the Russians killing his people while defending their own country?

You all mad or something?

You know what horrifies me most?  Despite their liberal upbringing (not Liberal) and their guidance towards rational thinking and such - my children actually support all the unsupportables... Abo 'rights' without limit, 'suffering Palestinians' (this despite their Jewish Ancestry - they should know better), feminism/mad 'women's "rights"... and all the other Woke guff going the rounds.

Their mother clearly raised them to be blind to reality as much as she is.  Clearly their upbringing inserted blinkers as well as buttons for her to push.... I am shocked and disappointed that they cannot see what has happened and is happening to Poor Fellow - OUR Country.

1. Because Zelensky wanted to increase Western influence in Ukraine, and had no understanding that Putin, being paranoid as well as megalomaniac, would actually invade to stop this NATO encroachment up to  Russia's borders (...as usual, you can't see the other bloke's point of view).

ie, Zelensky is as aware of the  motivations of others as 'a bull in a china shop', not smart for a leader. 

2. therefore.....yes. 

And then we have dummies like Starmer saying "we will stand by you all the way", even after a $trillion worth of property and life losses, and increasing - funded mainly by the US taxpayer. Ukraine would have soon been defeated in a war of attrition, against Russia  without NATO support (mainly US support).

And then Zelensky would have been forced to negotitae wih Putin, which is what Trump wants him to do now, in order to stop draining the US treasury (as Trump and  Musk see it). 

Trump's one saving grace is he actually loves life (even if mostly his own life)  - unlike you neanderthal "freedom or death" fools who are dying (!) to give rein to their inner thug on a battlefield....ignoring the CAUSES of the particular war.

"War is for losers": DJ Trump.

Meister of course proves he is just another unconscious neanderthal loser (described above) who descends to calling people "cowards" for not wanting to participate in the insanity of war.

Yet he is too mentally incompetent/conflicted  to actually say Trump is a coward - an assertion that wouldn't stand close scrutiny.

Jasin speaking in riddles ('speaking in tongues'?), as usual...

Another neanderthal loser, looking back to the 'might is right' (through war) of  the ancient world - and "British Western politics" -  rather than forward to a modern world which actually supports international law - which at least the current crop of confused global leaders claim they are supporting, despite the fact it doesnt actually exist yet, owing to the egregious (blind/instinctive/tribal)  belief in an obsolete  'absolute  national sovereignty' narrative.
