I’m having a good scratch around

But I’m struggling to find a nation that your Strategic Genius has not yet insulted, devalued and turned his back on

Other than his new best mate

Still

One good thing

His Christmas card list should be a bit shorter this year

… and he won’t be short of vodka ….

Well if your talking about Trump .... he doesn't drink, so I guess that's one more trade surplus he's expertly negotiated.

Probably sell it to the EU leaders, they'll need a good stiff drink after they get the invoice for all the ordinance they've neglected for decades.

I find this final comment intriguing.
Could you please clarify what you mean by it?

I had to google who that was…. Incredible statement………

They will indeed require a stiff drink

They have neglected their duties for far too long

Some situations are so serious, and so absurd, that humour is all that you have left

Agreed..... Some time you have to laugh to keep from crying.

How do you get a 3rd generation Democrat, self avowed leftist, who was a CIA officer; then sent to federal prison for exposing "enhanced interrogation" under the Bush administration to leave the Democrat party.....

Well worth the 10min watch.

Ion Antonescu was the Romanian puppet of Adolf Hitler. I admit the characterization is a bit harsh. I do not believe that Trump entertains dreams of a dictatorship or facilitating a Holocaust. But I am beginning to have real concerns whose national interests and strategic goals he may be supporting - wittingly or not.

I was watching the news this morning and they were talking about the price of beef and there was no way to increase the size of the herd. Well when the irrigation water runs out in western Kansas it could go backk to grass like it was back in the early part of our country. That in itself would flood the cattle market. It supported a lot of bison. Also they could open CRP to grazing. The US always had a cheap food policy so people could spend their money on luxury items. I think this will happen hearing rumors to that effect.

My western Kansas farm ground will raise wheat and milo and some dry land corn when the water is gone or more likely taken from us! My land just across the border, The State of Colorado has already started the process of stealing our irrigation water so the liberal communists who have invaded the front range can have more golf courses and green lawns on the ever expansion of socialism that has invaded what was 50 years ago one of the most conservative states in the nation!
As the grandson of a German immigrant homesteader, I take this action seriously, the death of
the USA will come from within!

I think he, President Trump, is supporting American interests and wants to return us to a more Constitutional form of government like our founding fathers intended.

It’s great fun to watch all you little girls run around like chickens with your heads cut off yelling, “Orange Man Bad!”

The feeling is mutual. Many of us like watching you participate on this thread.

If we aren’t a smoking glowing heap of rubble due to Europe dragging us into this, it will prove interest in a year from now to revisit this conversation. I’ll keep my salt handy, makes the crow go down better. Hope others have a good supply laid in too.

Like I said it's the government cheep food policy which has been in effect for a 100 years. Cut off the foreign buyers of grain which can make grain farming unprofitable than the land goes back to grass flood the cattle market than you have 50 cent hamburger and the city people are happy. I think that's what will play out. I remember in the sixties the government had grain bins stuck around the state of Kansas. No exports and that may happen again. Than people like Muskrat and Gates will buy up more land.

Zelenskyy to "negotiate" President Trump's purposed deal. At least Zelenskyy is coming back to negotiations. I think he will sign a deal for what Trump is offering.
Everyone keep your fingers crossed!

 

[bowjijohn]

Now we will learn what Trump is giving to Putin ….

… and just exactly what is the nature of the monkey on trump’s back …

To quote an old ‘art of the deal’ phrase

 

[HuntingGold]

My suspicion is that he got an earful in his home country when he landed. Perhaps the locals tuned him up and told him get back to the table.

Trump won't offer the exact same deal that was on the table last week, they may end up there or close, but he won't just it pick off where it left off.

Zelensky's statement today. I hope the Whitehouse doesn't demand more groveling.

I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace. None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.

He did used to be a democrat, after all…

I thought the whole issue was that Trump was not willing for any security guarantees beyond having American miners on the ground. In reality if I was going to extract minerals from any place overseas, I'd have locals do the work of extraction.

Heck, we had a lot of Americans in Kyiv when Putin started bombing it, it was not a deterrent.
