Infantino to his staff: Give him his Peath Pwize and he’ll leave us alone.

“Sure, let him have his red card reversal…just let it leak on Monday morning that he called and asked for it.”

That blob is totally out of his league. ETTD is axiomatic.

Putin has his sights on a north west passage for shipping from the northern Atlantic to the northern pacific.
Putin needs/wants Canada, Iceland, even Alaska to be at least under his indirect control, and can pressure Trump to help him...
Trump is Putin's puppet, and Putin can pressure him to help him make it possible......

All he can do is control media reactions.

Europe doesn’t fear him, they (along with Canada) hold all the cards.

With Russia in its weakest position since the end of the Cold War, Trump can flap his gums all he wants, and it means nothing to the security of Europe.

By the time Russia rebuilds/rearms, if it ever does, Europe will have transitioned to a self sufficient defense model. That, along with trade independence, will be Trump’s lasting global legacy.

If TSF invades Greenland, that would be tantamount to a declaration of war against Denmark. And it would trigger NATO's Article 5, and all of western Europe, as well as Canada, will defend Denmark.

World War III.

To shits like Thiel and Musk voting data is something that needs to be manipulated to get
their desired outcome. To Thiel and Palantir it was just a batch file job.

Musk I had an app that let me see the results early. That wasn’t an app that was a HACK.
He was into the voting data.

of every hanging chad, every anomaly, every glitch, every rejected ballot, every person purged
from the voter rolls, every voter I.D. law, every closed precinct, every voter who was “caged,”
every swing state coming in for Trump just above the margin that would have triggered a recount,
last minute surge of votes to the Republicans, the millions of undervotes* for Clinton, for Harris,
for the democrats running for Senate in ‘22 & ‘24 in Ohio, States that elected democratic governors
or senators but voted for Trump in the presidential election, every signature match problem that caused
a mail in or an early ballot to be rejected, and on and on that statistically are in the 1 in a billion of just
being a random chance.

Yes, you are 100% right that pieces of shit like Trump will always have @ least a 30% base who
will vote Republican because they are afraid of “the colored people” taking over.

European nations are already beginning to build their own advanced weaponry because they no longer trust the US. And it's good timing for them to cut ties, frankly. Putin has squandered Russia's power, so it just doesn't pose a credible military threat to Europe.
