Who said he would never win? No one here said that QV. Another non added value statement not based in reality.In just a few months some of you have come a very long way. From Trump will never win to Trump will be king for ever. Quite the shift!![]()

Seriously DJT might be in the crosshairs.
no way the USSS let’s that happen.
Are we starting a pool?
Heck 60 years ago cuddling to the Kremlin like he’s done would have been the death penalty.
Get the weapons first, then announce it. It sends a better signal, and if you can do it quietly enough, will reduce the likelihood of King Donald trying something extraordinary dumb to stop it.
Ok so which shady arms dealer do we need to negotiate with? Ahmed? Ivan? Kim Il Pun?Get the weapons first, then announce it. It sends a better signal, and if you can do it quietly enough, will reduce the likelihood of King Donald trying something extraordinary dumb to stop it.
Brazil will be a prize in the next 50 years. A large, young, reasonably well educated population in the Western world? Going to be worth their weight in gold.FWIW most of Africa voted the way China voted, for very specific reasons.
The Red Africans are already Russian aligned.
Not sure I’d call Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil prizes..
You are members of the prestigious club that can build a nuke in weeks. We have the tech, the skill, just need the gumption.Perhaps at this time just pulling out of the Canada / US treaty where we bound ourselves not to have nuclear weapons in Canada would be enough of a signal - whether we start looking at having our own such weapons or not.
why when we can have the Turks for the askingWell Israeli shouldn’t be a shock. They see this precedent as legal defense against complaints against them if they chose to want to keep Gaza or go elsewhere.
But I think Canada and the Uk should invade Nicaragua, for nothing more of a reason than you need someplace to snowbird now that Trumps make Florida unpalatable.
how about Norway, Poland, Finland for starters and maybe Sweden and shop in KoreaOk now who do we ally with? UK? (honestly they are a hot mess right now)
France? Not sure whose side they are on.
Germany?
No way we would be able to achieve the necessary Uranium-235 separation or Plutonium-239 production covertly.You are members of the prestigious club that can build a nuke in weeks. We have the tech, the skill, just need the gumption.
Micheal Day ?The lamps are going out my friends.
Even Michael Day posted on X thatneeds to quickly develop a CONOPs to deal with the emerging reality that the US has switched sides.

I wonder if Putin required the closure of the U.S. base before he would agree to anything with Trump regarding Ukraine.And the first casualty, a NATO logistics hub in Greece
That’s the guy. And his comments about NORAD in his next tweet were to say the least very eye opening. He also wrote a very good OpEd in the Globe. It’s behind a paywall, but basically he says the current government isn’t even trying to improve our defence capability, refusing to reverse the billion dollar cuts, choosing to make minimal purchases and basically deferring things in the vain hope that they don’t have to.LGen (Ret’d) Michael Day.

someone told Putin to ask for it and the worst they can say is no. Now they have to find something else to ask forI wonder if Putin required the closure of the U.S. base before he would agree to anything with Trump regarding Ukraine.
Well they will end up nurturing the tree of liberty too.
I’m not giving 47 odds at a much longer life.
Calling oneself King, isn’t a recipe for success down here.

The population of America is indoctrinated from an early age to respect the Constitution, Freedom, and that the Founding Fathers stood up to tyranny because all men are created equal (regardless if this narrative has more holes in it than Swiss cheese).The US Government is definitely showing that they aren't playing the same old game, but I am not convinced the population of America agrees with this.
I will offer though that in this case, the fracture point isn't geographical or based solely on interpretation of states vs federal rights; this is much more uniform across the board in the dissent. Red states have a lot of Blue Centres. Even those Red States are pushing against control from the federal centre.We may be witnessing the beginning chess piece moves of another US Civil war. We're in opening scenes of episode 1 of Ken Burns: Civil War Part II.
Now we wait for our generation's Fort Sumter.

Trump was Elected in a fair and democratic way, on the promise to Make America Great Again. Spending your first 30 days in office ruling like a King by EO, bypassing Congress, intimidating the judiciary, and threatening allies whilst cosying up to a foreign dictator is no where near the 'America' he claims to to want to make great again.
Your non-MAGA Republican is very much not going to support this behaviour as much as a Democrat supporter won't; because it goes against everything they've come to believe about their founding principles.

Congress and the judiciary are also pushing against this with force, so we need to hope that the U.S. military upholds their oath to defend the Constitution.
If anything does kick off, its going to be more akin to a partisan insurrection across the country than a Civil War.
But that's just my 2 cents
