Get to it then. They did just that yesterday/today.

Damn. I think they were counting on at least another month.

Do you think the European Union is an enemy to the United States on trade?

Yes…in that they place their economic interests ahead of yours…period. Germany purchasing their fuel from Russia is the perfect example.

How much do you even know about that? I mean other than what Fox told you.

No they both play a role.

NATO was to make them militarily dependent on each other (and us). The common european market was to make them economically dependent on each other. The European Union was to make them politically dependent on each other.

This is all true.

The question becomes whether any of this is valuable or easily discarded.

World War I led to an entire generation being wiped out (the generation that fought the war was killed, maimed, and traumatized to the point of being unrecognizable). World War II was so devastating that it left every single country that participated (with the exception of the US) in near or actual collapse.

I’d say keeping them interdependent has done the world a heap of good.

Can’t argue with that. Those guys were at each others throats for so long.

China has found a way to subdue it’s varied populace for awhile now, using a different method than western Europe.

Tell me something my friend…the World Cup is going on right now. The teams that played…were they enemies, foes or both?

Neither, they were opponents.

i really wish the military woudl remove trump from office as a clear and present danger to the US
remove him,pence and every member of teh house and senate.

have new elections come november with the caveat that no current member of the house or senate is eligible to run

trump is running teh country as a banana republic maybe its time for the military to join in

TheRedComet · 2018-07-16T00:30:22.763Z

That would not turn out how you would expect it to.

And your solution to this 'banana republic" is to have him, the VP and all of Congress removed by force. Great idea.

NOT.

Is it too much to ask that Trump could refrain from saying and/or tweeting something incredibly stupid for just one day?

just think if you’re part of his family.

Don Jr is a carbon copy of his dad. Not so sure about Eric, he’s not as political as Jr or Ivanka are.

And poor Tiffany. She really does stay right out of things, my guess is she doesn’t agree with dear old dad on a lot of things.

It had a fraction of the impact as what I just mentioned. They took advantage of our media.

They took advantage, and are still taking advantage, of the gullibility of some within our population. Those who are conspiracy minded by inherent nature. Check a mirror for Example #1.

Then there’s the flip side of super nice people who can’t see bad guys right in front of them.

You’ve defined a fair number of Trump supporters with this post.

I’ve defined a fair representative of the entire population with that post.
