i don't have the time or the interest to be one. but someone has to be.... and when we have a guy batting the equivalent of 1.000 over a 162 game schedule, sometimes its best just to put the bat in his hands and let him take the swing. Previous Message
Why are we fighting with allies over something unimportant? What makes him think he can just buy it on his own? Where is the ROI analysis? Where is Congress? We are massively in debt and with huge negative cash flow as a federal government.
Why can't we get what we're interested in - whatever that is - via routine agreements, like we do with military bases?
Here's the intro to today's WSJ story:
President Trump amped up his rhetoric on his plans for Greenland in a series of social-media posts, saying the U.S. was the only country that can ensure peace and prompting terse exchanges between U.S. and European officials.
The posts follow days of escalating tensions over the territory, with Trump having launched a series of tariff threats in an effort to pressure Europe to drop its opposition to a U.S. takeover.
Why??? What is this "ensure peace" he is talking about? What's the threat? Why would that be our responsibility?
