Haha - right!

My wife is French, my mom is Hispanic - both legal and neither are criminals. You might find that shocking. I certainly love Europe, having lived there for 6 months. I don't have any use for criminals, freeloaders or weak leaders. I feel bad that Europe is headed down the road of radical Islam. It's clearly a disaster, and of course, it's totally their business. I'm just so pleased that the US has a President that has reversed our tide of 600,000+ illegal, violent criminals that have done so much damage to our country. Perhaps you noticed the HISTORIC drop in violent crime last year, due to the President not fooling around?? I'm sorry NATO is so weak and useless at this time. It's definitely served its purpose for the past 70 years, carrying European free-loaders on the back of the US military for the duration. But those days are over. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end - and I think you will see a different level of participation in NATO by the USA, so long as MAGA is in charge. It will be a very good thing for the USA.

Sorry @John Hjorth - you simply don't understand the division of power in the US. A US President is INCREDIBLY powerful. Congress holds the purse strings and can declare war - A US President can simply refuse to deploy troops to any action - period. The only remedy Congress has is to impeach the President - then they have to deal with Vance. In regards to NATO, Trump can simply say - it's not in the national interest of the US and/or no US citizens are being threatened - and no military action will be taken by the United States. Then Europe can suck on that. Mess with Trump all you like - but those are the powers bestowed to him by US Citizens. If you want to see a change in this - NATO better hope Vance or Marco Rubio do not win the 2028 election.

I never thought I'd say this - but the future of NATO that includes the US - really does look at risk:

Absolutely, You as well, have a great MAGA weekend!

Deal, crypto is not my thing. I don't get it really. But in general, I'm a supporter and growing more of one,,, especially when he's taking out terrorists and getting rid of Democratic fraudsters! I try not to get inside his head much, real actions mean more to me than talk. All politicians talk a good game, not many of them do anything. Refreshing isn't it??

Oh man, the haters are out in force today!

Oh crap - oil down $20/barrel - what do we do now? Queue up that phony Epstein outrage again!! That always works!

JOE, JOE, JOE - where CoBF comes together!! Greg is an awesome host!

It's even more interesting that Libya, Serbia, Ukraine, and the Falklands - all fought on behalf of NATO members, dragging the USA in for the heavy lifting. Hopefully, our "role" in NATO is finished with such ungrateful, pathetic "allies". The USA will be able to count on Israel - as they certainly know how to fight, as opposed to the fat, dumb and happy members of NATO.

Only on CoBF can Iran & Hezbollah be almost totally destroyed - and yet are winning. ROFL Looks like you got Trump for the 1000X time @DooDiligence!!! Those walls are closing in again!!!

Yeah, that's quite the ass-kicking Iran and Hezbollah are handing out to the US & Israel...LOL

Coming from you, that's a compliment.

Promises, Promises...

Touche!

Bibi and Israel definitely pull their weight in an alliance unlike most of the freeloaders of NATO.

Hey , many of the NATO countries are not our friends, they are just leeches. Screw 'em. Now Israel - that is a friend.

John, I'm quite fond of ole Deal and his ramblings. Sometimes I wonder if we are watching the same movie. I do think, however, that both he and Spec and many others are piecing together a very valuable psychological profile on especially Trump and Bibi that will assist The Hague in their war crimes trials on both leaders. They are quite sure of the motives. I just happen to vehemently disagree with what true & courageous leadership looks like.. I'm sure you would not want me to "kiss their ass" as they say in America - when the topics are so important to the world. And I would have little respect for them if they did the same. Have a great day @John Hjorth

Whoa - insanity!

@dealraker - careful buddy, Spec is out to take your crown - after all, he has a PHD in this stuff! LOL

So good to have our arm-chair shrink back to psychoanalyze the madness of the MAGA crowd and pro-Israel lobby! I'll look forward to your book on Jim Jones and Charles Manson in the meantime @dealraker!

Same reaction. No sovereign nation worth its salt would or should stand for these attacks.

Yeah, right. I said yesterday a few times it was fantastic news that a settlement was reached for all parties.

Boy, I don't know. This fraud thing is looking massive down here. Many people are shocked at the extent of the looting and absence of any controls.

Wait a minute - clear something up for me. Are you saying that there has been a "ceasefire" in place between Israel and Hezbollah?? Hezbollah attacked Israel in retaliation for killing Kahmenei on Feb 28th. Why does Israel not have a right to defend themselves?
