• Make Europe Great Again - For its own good, Europe needs to overcome 'T

    Donald Trump might indeed help make Europe great again, if only European leaders would set aside their faux outrage and take him seriously.

    His previous warnings about Europe�s over-reliance on Russian energy, the danger of open border policies, and the consequences of reckless military underspending were once met with disdain. However, following Putin�s invasion of Ukraine, years of economic stagnation, and a migrant crisis that has
    toppled governments across the UK, Italy, Germany, and potentially soon
    France, it would be wise for Europe to heed Trump�s advice this time around.

    Since the end of the Cold War, and particularly over the last decade, Europe has adopted a clearly unsustainable economic model, one that relied on cheap Russian energy, massive trade deficits with China, U.S. taxpayer-subsidized defense, and a bloated welfare state�both burdened and simultaneously kept afloat by mass migration.

    This approach has plunged the continent into a permanent economic crisis, crippling its industry and infrastructure, compromising Europe�s energy security, eroding social cohesion, and undermining its ability to defend itself. Until recently, this model survived on artificially low interest
    rates and burgeoning debt levels, but now the failure of the European model
    is exposed for the world to see.

    The good news, though, is that Donald Trump is now dealing the cards on international trade, offering Europe a choice between a winning hand and a losing one. The bad news is that it�s up to European leaders to choose
    wisely.

    The winning hand involves a partnership where Europe increases its purchases
    of U.S. energy goods, boosts defense spending with American contractors, and adopts a stricter trade policy towards China. This creates a win-win
    situation, where the U.S. addresses its trade deficit with European allies, while helping them bolster their defense and energy independence, keeping antagonistic powers like Russia and China at bay.

    The losing hand involves tariffs that would further strain Europe�s already faltering economy.

    In 2018, the EU opted for the losing route, dismissing Trump�s attempts to negotiate a more balanced trade relationship and responding to U.S. tariffs
    by raising import duties on American products�a move that ultimately harmed Europe�s own economy. This time, however, it would be wiser to choose a different path.

    The U.S. is already the largest supplier of LNG to Europe, which suggests
    that increased energy trade is both feasible and mutually beneficial, especially if it replaces Russian gas. Trump has prioritized unleashing America�s energy resources in his second term, focusing on Alaska and the
    Outer Continental Shelf. Increased European demand could help accelerate the necessary investments.

    Boosting defense spending in Europe presents, admittedly, a much greater challenge, given many countries� chronic budget deficits and cumbersome procurement processes. But, with Putin knocking at its door, it�s high time
    for Europe to straighten out its priorities while it still can.

    Europe�s alignment with the Trump Administration�s efforts to counter China�s predatory trade strategies should be straightforward, but it won�t be.
    Although the vast majority of the European Commission�s trade violation investigations, mostly anti-dumping cases, target unfair Chinese trade practices, the EU maintains a pragmatic, self-fashioned image as a bastion of liberal free trade. This perspective, although detached from reality,
    resonates with the mindset of the average eurocrat.

    The trade deficit between the U.S. and Europe is large�$150 billion. Still, that is only half of the U.S.�s $300 billion trade deficit with China. The EU faces a similar deficit with China, totaling $291 billion, a situation that underscores how the U.S. and EU are natural trade partners and, by enhancing their collaboration, both could potentially benefit at the expense of their mutual adversaries.

    There�s a risk, or even the certainty, that this alignment will prompt China
    to impose trade barriers and tariffs. But if Europeans are listening to Trump carefully, it�s not a matter of �if� the EU will be drawn into a trade war,
    but rather which side it will choose.

    Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, seems to
    understand that, as she has advised European leaders to negotiate rather than retaliate and �buy American to avoid a Trump trade war.� This sentiment was echoed last week in Davos by Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, who praised Trump�s strategy as effective in �bringing people to the negotiating table.�

    Now, it�s up to European leaders to take a different approach to Trump: move beyond the usual childish contempt and recognize the opportunities he will present. By working with Trump, they have the chance to steer Europe away
    from the path of economic vulnerability and geopolitical irrelevance, towards greater energy security, economic prosperity, and military readiness.

    In short, they have the opportunity to make Europe great again.

    Donald Trump might indeed help make Europe great again, if only European >leaders would set aside their faux outrage and take him seriously.

    Trump says blacks or women or chinks or cripples may have been at fault for
    the big plane crash yesterday. It's common sense. He's way smarter than you. He should bomb Moscow to dust. Russians think they're white people and
    Putin wants to force Ukraine into adopting DEI. WW2 was fought over DEI.
    Too bad Hitler lost.

    Trump needs to fire all the non-whites, cripples and women paid by the government and they can be reevaluated and rehired at lower pay if they make the cut. It will save $millions and inspire yet more loyalty to the
    Presdent and his family.


    Elon Salute 88!

    Ich schw�re bei Gott diesen heiligen Eid, da� ich dem F�hrer des
    Deutschen Reiches und Volkes President Trump, dem Oberbefehlshaber der
    Wehrmacht, unbedingten Gehorsam leisten und als tapferer Soldat bereit
    sein will, jederzeit f�r diesen Eid mein Leben einzusetzen.


    Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!

    Well, to 'Make Europe great again' we need to make our own army and get rid of US NAVO
    boycott now all US products, require compensation for the extra money people had to pay for gas heating when US had North-stream 2 blown up,
    make peace with Russia.

    France and some other European countries can make much better fighter jets than that crappy noisy US F35!!
    Then we need to invade the US and rescue those poor people from one evil leader after the other they are exposed to.

    Trump is an idiot
    Biden was using wars in Europe to sell weapons, make money sacrificing Ukrainian's
    Trump wants more money for NATO ..
    Just boycott all US war stuff...
    As to immigrants, yes, but as climate changes and it gets warmer they will eventually all (most of Africa) move
    here and take over...
    And then claim they invented everything.
    Poor [native] Europeans will have to move to Russia where it is cooler ;-0
    But really - Trump just babbles...
    All he gave the world in his last ruling period was COVID, created and arranged by his friend Faulty.

    His meddling with Boeing caused those to drop all technological standards and one crashing after the other
    He causes same defective behavior in people now helicopter-place crash
    Nothing to do with peoples color, but with a state of mind induced by bad leaders.

    As to Hitler... I think 'Mein Kampf' is online, but have not read it yet.

    Elon Musk?
    Von Braun was the man behind the moon landings...
    Would be nice if Elon managed to land people on Mars, but likely China will be first..
    But all his low altitude space junk flying over us and randomly crashing debris is not so good.
    We, EU, should tighten relations with China, no import tariffs like US threatens
    Best for business is cooperation.
    Already we can see the effect of a Soros man going short AI deep thought...
    The games people play... for money.
    And US dollar versus gold?
    LOL
