    Is it only who gets an allergic attack when I hear "rules based order" from the hawkish Europeans.
  • G-7 nations used up their domestic sources of Minerals, long ago. Now they appear to desire Russian Resources..... That makes the conversation much simpler....

    So……………forever Wars ? I don’t hear about negotiating with anyone.
  • What exactly is their plan? they seem to be proposing forever war without any goal.
  • How is Ukraine the business of NATO I still fail to understand.....since everybody is talking about "rule of law" 😢

    He said that it was boring to talk about the 2 percent minimum for nato. WELL it’s not boring to the American taxpayer. We have funded the defense of European countries for 70 years. While Americans paid for your defense at a staggering (trillions of dollars) amounts of money,Europeans were busy providing national health care ! While Americans who don’t have free national health because of the billions it cost to protect Europeans countries. The free ride is over,increase your tax levels and pay for your own defense. America is fed up with paying your bills!!!!
  • Question, what exactly is the “rules based international order”? Who made these rules and where can I look this up?
