One needs to be aware of the important discrimination between an agent, and an asset. Trump I am certain and i indicated that on several occasions, is a Russian asset, easy to manipulate due to his narcissistic personality structure.

You're right, this is not Americas war and you're right Europe should increase their military and economical support to Ukraine.

You're also right Europe should start to spend more money on their defence

However letting Ukraine and Europe fighting the war them self, can in the long term drag USA into the war.

That the meeting was a fiasco is an understatement. What can be discussed is who's fault was it ?

In my opinion both are guilty in this fiasco

You are assuming that Russia want's world domination?

The EU pretty much set the stage for this war to start and now you want us to save your bacon. Inviting Ukraine to join the European union for economic purposes was one thing, but actively recruiting the Ukraine into NATO was akin to waving a red cape at a bull to the Russians. and in 2008 that's exactly what the NATO secretary General did.

World domination !? No but rebuilding the Soviet borders and make Poland and other eastern country satellite states again

First of all-Ukraine is far from being consider a candidate to becoming a NATO or a EU member.

I don't understand why EU was setting the stage for this war-Here I'm thinking on the start of the war in 2014.

I must have missed something,'cause I can't find anything that indicate EU being the one who was the architect behind the war in Ukraine.

I claimed that some gullible simp would fester this lie into a fact within two weeks.
I stand corrected - it took merely six days.:D:har:

There really isn’t much option. You join the EU you got NATO and more power to it. Screw Putin and all he represents.

The driving force behind the pushing of NATO towards Russian borders, was Washington. Not Nato general secretary, who usually only announces what Washington expected him to. Countries like Germany and France warned against that.

The responsibility for yesterdays fiasco, is Vance's and Trump's. It was a trap to push zelenskyi into a corner and present his "littleness" to the US public. Zelenskyi then walked into it.



American scum in the WH, thats what it was. Moscows puppet did what his master expected of him.



And clueless blind people applaude. They would also be enraptured if their idol starts to play with his finger in his rear end before running cameras. Because everything a god does must be devine.

Oh you are naughty, but I like it!!!:D

I've spent the last nine years pouring out troughs of scorn and derision on this bum - did anyone really think I'd suddenly start loving him now just because I made some super sarcastic hints in that direction ten days ago? That was sarcasm. Out of bitterness.

Back when the Iraq War of 2003 was still raging, I described the expectation that the Republicans would begin to play foul in the face of demographic trends unfavorable to their constituency at the time, and that the US might slide into an increasingly totalitarian, overtly religious-fascist dictatorship as a result. Something like this now seems to be on the horizon.

Putin now has Trump exactly where he wants him, and Trump, the great “deal-maker”, is proving to be an obedient puppet hanging on Russian strings. The Russians/Soviets always wanted to push the Americans out of Europe. They are close to achieving their goal. And they manage to take the US out of the game as a strategic player acting against their interests by making sure that they endlessly look at themselves in the mirror and talk to their reflection.

This is KGB psychops at its best, played out over the very long term, over decades. The destruction of the enemy social order from within: this is playing in the master class. And Trump and Vance and their idiotic consorts are in no way up to it. Fools! They dutifully do what they were hired to do: bring the West into self destruction mode.

You can be horrified - or you can laugh uproariously at America for its stupidity, which is not inferior to Europe's in this respect, only different in detail. But the European and especially the German lies of life have also been mercilessly shattered in the last three years. Welcome to the arena. We Europeans and Germans have nothing to complain about, we have played the fool ourselves for far too long, endlessly waffling on and sucking our thumbs. Now Putin's puppet is counting us out.

What is no laughing matter is that history is once again stomping on Ukraine's corpse. Ukraine has no choice and mist continue to fight for its suervival, with every degrading means and so slowly loosing. What will come of all this for Europe, is uncertain, but optimism and hoping for a happy end is not to be taken for granted. The political situation in Germany is not good, nor is it in France nor is it in the UK, and Poland alone is not enough. Turkey is unreliable, Greece as well, Italy and Spoain are desinterested, Hungary and romania more or less pro Putin, so are parts of the other smaller countries. Even in Germany a majority of the public is againstn Ukraine now.

Denmark leads!

[DW] The Danish Salling Group said it will be adding a black star to electronic price tags for European-made goods to allow consumers to choose them over products made in the United States. The move comes as many in Denmark want to make a protest against the policies of US President Donald Trump, notably his declared aim of bringing the Danish autonomous territory of Greenland under US control— whether by purchase or, potentially, by force.

The Salling Group, Denmark's largest grocery group and the operator of major supermarkets Bilka, Fotex and Netto, said it had received inquiries from customers who want to buy European brands rather than their US equivalents.

"We are making it easier to shop for European brands," CEO Anders Hagh wrote on networking platform LinkedIn with a photo showing what the stars would look like on supermarket price signs.

Hagh said that to enable customers the choice, "We will introduce a new marking on our electronic price tags in Bilka, Fotex and Netto during March, where a small star will show if the brand is owned by a European company."

Hagh denied that the move entailed a boycott of US products.

"We will continue to have brands on the shelves from all over the world, and it will always be up to the customers to choose," he wrote. "The new label is only an extra service for customers who want to buy goods with European brands."

Other retailers in Denmark have been reducing the amount of US goods on their shelves, while Danish consumers have been increasingly shunning anything bearing the label "Made in the United States," according to the digital newspaper NordiskPost.

Experts say that consumer forums in other parts of Europe are also considering using purchasing power to convey a political message in protest at the Trump administration's policies.

This comes as Trump is threatening to unleash a trade war with the EU by imposing high tariffs on some of its products, claiming without evidence that the bloc was created "in order to screw the United States."

^ What can I say it is hilarious. First of all most of the product are produced on license here in Europe and what's even more funny if not hypocritical of nature, is that 99 % of these people use FB.

Here's even more funny thing...this forum is located in the US.

Oh I think we all knew that!! I for one am not blaming the US citizens in general, just Trump, Vance and his cronies!! :doh:

Where will the world be in 6 months time?
Who is going to be allied to the US? How many countries are going to be left in the lurch?
Where will NATO be, will the US still be a NATO member?? :hmmm:
Quite worrying!!:oops:
