America! We have a lawless president and the worse part of that is the Republican Party is even worse. Over the last forty years they have fermented distrust in government and encouraged the Deplorables to support them. We are in a terrible state!

Tactically, it was successful in its immediate objective, even impressive. But that's never been the issue for the U.S. military of late - we can do tactically impressive things, over and over again, especially against non-peer foes. The real challenge is aligning strategy with national interests.
Hegseth takes the mic and starts denigrating a CNN reporter for asking a "disingenuous question," adding, "you're trying to find any angle possible to undermine the success of one of the most historic military missions the world has ever seen"

In the 1930s they called surrender peace and hoped with each concession Hitler would tire himself out. He never did. Tyrants do not stop on their own. trump will not stop either. Silence is a choice. Delay is a choice.

You see most of these anti-EU posts popping up on Twitter?
They are accounts paid for by pro-Russian oligarchs.
MAGA of course are not critical thinkers.
So they join in like the sheep they are.
This is how it’s been working for years.
And MAGA are still being “played.”

(2 of 2) He's right to think the Danes won't contest the island militarily. But what will happen is that NATO will immediately disband, and American troops will be ordered out of most or all European countries.
The post-World War II order will collapse.
It will be catastrophic.
