He is not threatening Greenland or Canada. He wants to buy Greenland. That's up to the voters of Greenland. He has zero interest in Canada other than wanting better trade. I cant say i care deeply about this and the general upheaval from tariffing each other isn't going to fly long term. In general my sense is tariffs are a negotiation tool for him.
See how your first point is really a non-issue?
No. Less American involvement in the affairs of others is probably better for us. But at a practical point, id support the Arab nations and Israel rebuilding Gaza and relocating the Palestinians so the place can be repaired.
Yes. If it forces Zelensky to consider a ceasefire and end the war. Absolutely. The war itself has cost 100000 lives. I support anyone trying to end it.
Unlike Biden and your PM who has an opportunity to do this 3 years sgo
That's your framing. The U.S. is negotiating separately with the 2 sides. Sure Russia is terrible and they are the aggressor, but the goal is to end the war. And i support that.
No. Trump has a potty mouth snd can get aggressive when he feels attacked. Both he and Zelensky were exchanging barbs. Its not that serious. They've now come together and signed a deal of understanding
Yes. USAID is predominantly a slush fund for leftist causes. Especially their idiotic ideological programs all over Africa. I am absolutely okay with shutting that shithole down.
This is an example of something I didn't vote for, but absolutely happy about. A majority of USAID does not go to helping people in danger pf starving, clearly you haven't gone through the funding programs.
In so far as there are programs that are useful, o am happy its being subsumed under State.
The only downside here is that it limits the U.S. spying capacity as the CIA and other clandestine agencies use USAID to fund covert programs with plausible deniability.
But since this is anti- American, I'm sure that will make you happy :)
Yes, I am okay with it. Did you hear me complain when Biden promoted electric vehicles a few years ago?
Is this supposed to be some kinda gotcha? Presidents promoting American businesses is par for the course.
No. I think such actions cause instability. But i think he wants to use sanctions as a negotiation tool. I'm not happy about doing it with friendly nations in general. But I'm not happy with friendly nations taking advantage of America either. Granted, that's more Mexico than Canada.
Hopefully, the fantastic Conservative leader in Canada wins and Trump does a better job of improving relationships with Canada. We love Canadians and Mexicans and would love to be fantastic neighbors.
f
So for the record, im not a fan of these Tariff wars. Especially, the one with Canada
What actions. Be specific.
Oops! The price of eggs already started dropping You should update your facts. But im sure you really don't care about Americans or their lives. But thanks for checking in.
And finally, I sleep just fine. Upped my sleep time from 6 hours to 7.5 over the last year.
Granted it had nothing bto do woth whos on government....
Let me know if you have any more questions.
This thread could get messy, so lets abridge things a little
1 - Greenland - I paraphrase but it was something along the lines of "Greenland will be ours one way or the other". To me, that sounds like a threat
2 - Canada - repeated references to it becoming the 51st state. Now I can't honestly see Canada voting for this, they aren't for sale, so what does that leave? threat
3 - Gaza - oh good, one you're not ok with. We largely seem to agree on this, though I would argue that relocating the Palestinians, whether it be temporary or not, is a decision for the individual
4 - Withholding Intelligence - Promotes a ceasefire on Russian terms. I'm not sure how this can be seen to be "right"
5 - Siding with Russia - You say negotiating with both sides, yet there has been no talk (at least in the publiic domain, which is all we can judge things on) about Russian concessions, just Ukraine giving up its resources to America and its territory to Russia. Combining this with 4, this isn't negotiating this is bullying, threat and intimidation and you should be able to see that
6 -Zelenskyy was set up in the white house fiasco, and "deal" reached is as a result of 4 and 5. But at least you agree shitgibbon was wrong. though to say "exchanged barbs" is disingenuous, Zelenskyy responded to the attack from your people
7 - USAid - OK I'll freely admit I'm not knowledgeable about the organisation and you may have a point, my understanding remains that their programmes save lives. I'll let others argue this further if they so wish. Also, I have no issue with the CIA using USAid as a cover for clandestine ops, spies got to be spies after all.
8 - Sitting Presidents promote products as a matter of course? OK if thats the case I'll bow to your local knowledge, Still think it's crass though. Do you not see a conflict of interest there?
9 - Any sanctions he imposes are immediately returned by the country they're aimed at. Thats a pretty shit negotiating tool. Friendly countries taking advantage of America? be specific. At this rate though there will be few countries you can continue to call friendly. One of the examples Shitgibbon used was Canada exporting power to America. He bleated on in his rambling manner about it being unfair, when it was actually Shitgibbons term1 where he signed said deal he's now whinging about. "We love Canadians and Mexicans and would love to be fantastic neighbors" I get the impression they're not too keen on you though
10 - NATO, well you can start by the threat to take Greenland by force, you know, Greenland, part of the Kingdom of Denmark, NATO member and ally. Follow that with (from the Guardian, a serious newspaper over here, and repeated elsewhere) "US President
Donald Trump has cast doubt on his willingness to defend Washington’s Nato allies, saying that he would not do so if they are not paying enough for their own defense." Now I do agree Europe should pay its fair share of NATO defence costs, however there are other ways to achieve this than withdrawing from Article 5.
11 - Egg prices are dropping? Thats great news, makes everything else worth while doesn't it.
So using those first 10 points, ignoring the eggs, you've argued the validity of 3, said you're against 3, and for 4
Hardly a resounding vote of confidence for the shitgibbon from his most ardent bluemoon supporter
