The Donald Trump thread

[Forest Hillbilly]

I think Trumps foreign policy is to install/upgrade military bases in as much territory as he can. South America is within his sights, Israel seems likely, with upgrades for Greenland and other countries with existing bases.
To what end ? I have no idea. It just seems the path his Administration is taking. It might be to stop expansionism of Russia and China. No-one seems bothered with Africa or Australia

That's exactly what it is.

Plus, you want to shore up yourself you keep the military happy.....Goes back to Rome.

Not really. Women aren't attracted to weakness regardless of what you believe

I wish I was weaker.
It would be nice to have some peace, instead of women bothering all the time.

Keep your army in skirts. Plus Carry on up the Khyber was a stern reminder. Excellent parody of the Empire. I loved the dinner party during the siege. And with Roy Castle. Star studded. Those bloody barbarians and their trousers and possibly blue hair. (I have no idea about the blue hair but it makes it a better rant).

if Trump just grabs Greenland & Venezuela it will show up the EU. Shamed for what they really are. Just a hollow talking-shop. All talk and no trousers.

That is exactly what's happened. Russia is taking Ukraine because the EU thought they could get it into NATO showed the EU as impotent. The USA isn't really assisting with peace in this, except to assess Russia's military capabilities
Greenland will fall to the USA , because Europe is just a circus.
What the big boys want, they'll just take.

I think it's more than just pure power dynamics.

Rightly or wrongly, Trump and Putin now despise the EU on an ideological level.

Both Trump and Putin are willing to work with other allies who are weaker than themselves, where they can respect and trust those smaller allies.

Time to unfreeze the $ 300 billion sanctioned money much of it held in Belgium and hand over to Ukraine and dump the loan plan announced the other day.

Yes, but not before reimbursing those countries who have supplied resources and military aid.

Would be nice to see a trail of where all the money provided to Ukraine has gone and what it was spent on before handing over anymore money.
