Not just Europe: Canada, S.Korea and others as well. It would be the absolute height of irresponsibility to not develop and deploy indigenous nuclear weapons.

Rubio’s speech was incoherent babble.
Any applause from the audience was due to the relief that li’l Marco didn’t announce US hostilities against Denmark.

Incoherent babble.
I hadn’t realised just how tone deaf “lil Marco” is.
Presumably because Rubio is incoherent and obnoxious the Republican Party must think him a worthy candidate for higher office.

Biden shackled people who were assembling a battery factory in Trumpland?
I’m absolutely certain that Korean businesses and staff are 100% desperate to come to Trumpland. Let’s face it: Trumpland is the greatest, the best, Trumpland rules!

Now Trumpland needs to try it against Canada, against Greenland or China.

As a Canadian I recognise that not all Americans subscribe to MAGA but in a practical way why should I care? Did Americans worry about this in Iraq? In Afghanistan? In Vietnam?
