    Putin has never been cool. He's just not worth fighting, especially for the sake of Europe.

    No matter your political thinking or how you feel.about Trump, you have no choice but to.admit that it's the dems that engage in sham elections. If the GOP did, no way would we have Trump.

    Sounds like a great reason to pull out of Iraq and Asscrackistan. Close all those bases and bring those troops home. I fail to see the downside.

    Someone else can have it. Just remember that when you see Russian tanks in Berlin.

    I agree. US should stop meddling in others affairs. Russians decide they need more room in Lithuania, the US shouldn't lift a finger other than to affect the safe repatriotation of Americans in the war zone.



    I think this thread is going the opposite way that most of the anti trumpers expected.

    This breakup was a long time coming. I'll need to get a swimming pool, so I can fill it up with globalist tears.

    Russia is the least of Germany's problems, they've already been invaded by a far worse foe.

    Unfortunately all the French soldiers are on the streets of France trying to hold back Islamic terrorism.

    I guess that's more than they did the last time they were invaded.

    Based on that, you're not ready to lead.

    We dont want lead. We want be a sucessful nation. We want dominate Europe and bring it into a good future. The rest is nonsense.

    Thats what Merkel said. Europe as a whole turns away from America.

    Yep, Trump is on the wrong side and trying to drag the country with him. Putin and Duterte are more his speed.

    Merkel is right. Hell, even I don't trust America or Americans anymore.

    Ironic, in one week Trump has done more damage to the relations with our European allies than has ever occurred since WWII.

    One week of Trump and Europeans are no longer viewing the US as a reliable ally.

    Leaking the Manchester intelligence was a poke in the eye to the Brits.. Really crappy.. So who wanted vengeance?

    You know if you don't acknowledge Trump's greatness, he'll get you.

    Trump has been coasting on bravado and his father's money for decades.. He's not smart or good or well educated.. Early last year I really hoped Trump was the right stuff.. and sadly he isn't. He's quite ordinary trash.

    He is extraordinary trash. He is the most dangerous politician I've seen in my lifetime and the greatest threat to the country since the Civil War.

    This may well end in a Civil War if he isn't removed.

    There was never a moment when I thought he was the right stuff. I know a thug when I see one. It took about an hour of listening to his speeches and I knew exactly what he was.

    Lots of people don't know that France lost so many men in WW1 that a generation of French women never married or had children.... or that the birthrate between the wars was completely flat. So when The Nazis came to power there were no Frenchmen of age to serve in the military,

    But, you do have all these ignoramuses who are so bloody stupid that they quip "surrender monkeys"..., while completely ignoring the French resistance and the women who fought against the Nazis.

    There's no one more stupid than a stupid American. Welcome.. You're on.

    Come on friend.. Trump couldn't have won the election if Americans weren't stupid. I think Trump is ignorant and gross and a disgusting bully, BUT.. he won the election because that's what Americans wanted.

    You're ignorance of history is amazing. Pre WW2, the French had the most powerful military in Europe.

    The US and UK are undefeated in wars against Germany. We care nothing for their insignificant economy.

    Let Putin turn them into a Russian state once more.

    The abject failure of their country to defend itself had a lot more to do with appeasement of Germany and failing to see the obvious than with numbers in uniform.

    The French resistance did perform well, but it was also a very small percentage of the population. A smaller percentage than those that had no issues subjugating themselves to the Germans just to have an easy life.


    We had a choice between him and Hillary Clinton so lets not act like their was a better choice out there. Maybe the idiots on both sides of the aisle should be blamed for selecting the 2 worst candidates this country has ever seen.

    Well, I guess the dems can claim innocence on that, the party, not the voters, selected their candidate. Kind of ironic that the democrats forego the democratic process in the selecting of their candidate. Maybe there is a lesson there.

    Mm, French social cohesion was a major problem during WWII, and French leadership was entirely incapable of holding itself together.

    Their army was plenty big enough and well-enough equipped to deal with the Germans, at least to hold them off until more support arrived. Psychological factors do play a major role in warfare, and among the French, especially the leadership, a certain kind of hopelessness and fatalism gripped the French military.

    The American military in Vietnam would suffer similar morale problems.

    But Europe wants you to lead and solve the world's problems. They're tired of the U.S. and they want you to do it.

    I don't think you (or anyone else in Europe) is up to it.
