That's far more likely the case.

Which means he is far too stupid to realize that weakening and or dividing NATO by pitting each other against ourselves is the best open door invitation you could send to our enemies that NATO as a whole is in a very vulnerable position.

Do you mean like judges, senators, congeessman and people in politics from state, federal and local governments including prosecutors on both sides of the political spectrum are on a regular basis?

The useful idiots paid protestors?

I am no Trump fan but trying to defend a claim that he is trying to start WW3 is silly.

He could easily undermine and destroy NATO... He most certainly has done some things to distract from Epstein. I do not think he is trying to start WW3.

MAD never helps anybody.... it is the reason why two nuclear powers have never engaged in direct war **despite** the complete senselessness of it....

And maybe the US can beat the rest of NATO in a war (I'll even go with probably, depending on your definition of "beat") -- but it would not be a cakewalk like you make it out to be. The US/EU capabilities are nowhere near as asymmetric as Russian/Ukrainian capabilities were in January 2020. Current drone warfare is extremely defensive (similar to WW1). Plus, the US definitely comes out of this worse off compared to China -- which is their key competition. Taking Greenland will almost certainly mean the loss of US bases throughout the EU, which are key for US power projection in the Middle East.

I don’t mind the youthfulness IF he can have experienced coordinators (like Shchwartz) surrounding him. The only concern is just how many of those types of connections he has built and whether older guys want to work under such a relatively young HC. Some of the pressures need to be relieved while he finds his groove and you don’t want too many coaches doing that at once…

I had no idea using the military as a negotiating tactic was like a hostile business takeover. One of those two has no threat of bombing, killing or actual violence of any kind. As the guy says at the local Chinese restaurant says, "Is all da same!"

For the record, none of the agents were masking up like this until the useful idiot paid protestors started doxxing the agents and threatening/harassing their families.

Socialism is not communism. Democratic socialism is not what most think of as socialism. I am guilty of interchanging those words because Russia is closer to communist than socialist to me. Any and every system can be bastardized and corrupted. It's no different with capitalism. We see that very thing today in this country. There no longer seems to be any guardrails. By your own theory every nation who has ever endorsed capitalism, no matter how corrupt are all kissing cousins.

I'm not nearly as far left as many in regards to Democratic Socialism. I believe in a balanced system that combines capitalism with socialist programs and guardrails that help all Americans and help protect all Americans rather than just those at the top.

But I get it. I understand it. When wages are so low working people can't make living without working two jobs, when student loan debt is so high just to get a college education young people start off tens of thousands of dollars in debt and can't buy a home, when things have gotten so lop sided in one direction, it in no way surprises me people are rebelling against capitalism.

I think those at the top of the economic ladder forgot in all of their greed that if you don't leave at least enough at the bottom for people to be able to live they will rebel in some form or fashion. That's what we are seeing now. At least it's been peaceful...... so far.

What part confused you? I literally started by saying that I understand they have to do something. I just followed it by pointing out that it is utterly futile.

And yeah.. .MAD, because NATO is going to nuke things because that would REALLY help the people of Greenland. Get real.

You're the one that started making comparisons to say it was just a mafia thing, so Yeah. A takeover is a takeover, and threatening a takeover to get people to the negotiating table is done in business all the time (and the mafia, apparently).

The evidence is they refuse to let anyone else see it. Everything people do or don't do has some motivation or reasoning behind it. My question then becomes what is their motivation or reasoning for that? A question mark indicates something is a question. A question is not a form of stating an assumption.

You're welcome.

I've had one colonoscopy in my life. Maybe two? I can't remember (bad memory). I think just one. Anyhow, they put me to sleep for the procedure. It went rather well, I was out the whole time and didn't feel a thing.

I'm pretty sure I did the same colon prep as GM.

Bone, you shouldn't have to pay 70 bucks for the liquid.

Good luck Johnny boy, I’d choose Cleveland, Pittsburgh or any city over NYC…

At least he isn’t in the AFC North. A weird time in this division and I hope this organization gets its head out of its butt…won’t hold my breath…

As it stands today I think three guys are finalists.

Schwartz, McDaniels, and Udinski as a dark horse.

Udinski is interesting. I listened to an interview with him and the Jags DC being interviewed together by a Jags reporter.

He has a presence. He is very respected by those who know him. He is young and does not have a lot of experience.

So, that may exclude him. But if he commands his interview. He might be the guy Berry recommends to Haslam.

I know I shouldn't be just jumping in the middle like this and I am jumping out right after I state this, but the reason behind that is because the Left is openly socialist/communist, the tactics and rhetoric spouted are Marxist Playbook 101, and nobody even tries to hide it anymore. "Democratic Socialists" are everywhere.... and that is just a kissing cousin to communism; they differ only in methods, not ultimate goals which is to enslave the individual to the state. Communism through force and socialism through bait.

Putin, while an outright authoritarian, is not communist in the least, so even if Trump were his mouthpiece it wouldn't translate that way.

So the person that runs around screaming for "evidence!!" says that his own assumption counts as evidence.

Why is this not surprising to anyone?

Because it's every day
Every argument
Every thread
Nearly every post...

since the dawn of PP.

So let me see if I get this straight. You're trying to compare a hostile takeover of a company to threats of military actions against our ally? I mean seriously.

"Ya gotta be pullin' my leg Vinnie!"

When one country does a "hostile takeover" of another country's territory... it is called an act of war..


Just like Ukraine should have just let Russia walk in because they would have a really bad day very quickly?

Also - MAD is of course still at work here. Both the UK and France absolutely have the capability to end all life in the US. Nuclear armed countries have never gone to direct war with each other.

That's solid rhetoric, but not entirely accurate to the real world. Businesses try to work deals but threaten hostile takeovers in one form or another all the time as a means of driving companies to the negotiating table. Nobody wants the hostile takeover, though, because it's always far more costly. Sometimes that hostile takeover is in the form of buying controlling interest, sometimes it is the threat of entering their market space directly alongside them and stealing all of their business. That's just business.

I am still 1000% against any use of military force.


That said, I understand that Denmark and the other nations have to appear to be doing something, but these countries moving troops there are complete fools. IF the U.S. goes in, those NATO troops are going to have a very bad day very quickly, and I pray to God it never comes to that. The internal conflict our guys would feel about toeing up on western troops wouldn't be good, either. I absolutely would not feel good about it.

Can't wait to hear the kings ransom they paid Harbaugh. It may help set a new market price.

So now all you need to do is pay for local police to protect ICE.

You use the threat of military action against an ally? A thug is how someone conducts themselves. It has nothing to do with what office they hold. I'm pretty sure a lot of people who helped elect him had no idea when they voted for him he would be threatening to invade our allies with the military. That's exactly what a thug sounds like.

"We will do it the easy way or the hard way". Just add a name to it...

"We will do it the easy way or the hard way Vinnie."

Sounds like it could be a line straight out of The Godfather.

It is local citizens causing the commotion inside of the local communities. ICE should be able to do their jobs without interference I agree.

You still refuse to explain how local law enforcement is supposed to pay for that. You totally ignored that entire post and its content to once again go on a tangent. I'm talking about how local law enforcement has a limited budget to protect its own people much less hold ICE's hand.

These tactics are implemented and carried out by trump and his appointees. I'm sure you would love to leave him out of it though. So if ICE needs the help of local law enforcement, let them pay the cost of it.

Her vehicle was certainly not being used as a weapon when that agent took the second and third shots.

Trump is not a thug he is an elected official to the highest office in the land. The US pays for and is the principal player in NATO, so he uses some strong-arm tactics in negotiations. That is what happens when you are in a position of strength. You use that to leverage the weaker player. Been done since the beginning of time and will be done long after were gone.
