The only real neo-con in the administration is "Narco" Rubio. An interesting pick since Rubio is probably not the smartest person in the world so Trump probably thinks he is less of a threat than someone like Pompeo. Rubio 100% signals that Trump intends to end the conflict with Russia, pretty much his entire administration has said they want to end the war in Ukraine. Zelensky better get his private jet fired up.Well he certainly needs to organise an election however difficult it will be. I'm sure it can't be _that_ hard for his embassies in Poland, Germany, UK etc to facilitate voting of displaced people. I'm sure also the hosts of those countries would be willing to donate (much needed) man power at said embassies or "polling stations".

If its not the troops it must be Volod's dictatorial ambition. Good point.

lol Matt Gaetz as AG. EDIT: * Nominated, will need confirmation. well if the Matt Gaetz nomination made you laugh, the rumours are building that RFK Jr is going to be nominated as health secretary. Correction: now announced that he has been. I'm sure there is at least one person on this forum who will be over the moon* at that appointment You really couldn't make that **** up. *No doubt the moon that had fake US landings, and is made of cheese.

There is literally only one good thing about a Trump leadership in fasttrack Gilead, no longer can any country trust or rely on the United States (at least the ones that could before). It's going to be an entertainment riot watching the Trump crime gang goons woodwork instead of science big mouths humiliating themselves on the world stage.
Is Greenland still up for sale ?

As a former press officer, I relished Kayleigh McEnany struggling to justify Trump's statements and behaviour when last he was President.

The US should be run for the benefit of the US population not as some Globalist Policeman. Unfortunately there is a lot of poverty in the US and part of the reason for this is because the country's considerable resources are being drained by its empire. In my opinion the world will be a better place when the US gives up its Empire and focuses on its own country. For a start there would never have been a war in Ukraine without US involvement.

Unfortunately there is a lot of poverty in the US You're right about that. In the UK, 5.7% of the population live in poverty of <40% of median income, 11.7% <50%, 18.7% <60%. In the US, it's 11.7% <40%, 18% <50%, 24.5% <60% But you're VERY wrong about that. The US could *EASILY* afford to raise its own population out of poverty. It doesn't WANT to. Medical costs bankrupt over half a million people per year - 59% of all bankruptcies, while 10% of the population are in medical debt - 72% is from one-off medical issues. The average cost of a hospital stay is over $5,000 per day. The average US resident spends $10k/year on medical care. The NHS costs UK residents about £3k ($3.8k) each. Life expectancy is about two years shorter in the US than the UK. We get better outcomes from a third of the expenditure. It's often said that the reason Americans are terrified of centrally-funded healthcare is that they think what they pay is what it actually costs. The federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour, unchanged from 2008. Yes, states can set their own higher minimum... but 20 states, 40%, don't. If it'd simply kept up with inflation, it'd be $10.63. The UK minimum wage is the equivalent of $14.24, not far short of double the US figure - yet the average cost of living here is 7% lower than the US. That means that CoL affordability for minimum wage earners in the UK is about 211% of the US. Yet Gross National Income in the US is $80k, compared to $42k in the UK. Per capita government defence spending in the US is $2,250, vs about $1,000 in the UK. So GNI (excluding defence) is about $78k in the US vs $41k in the UK. 90% higher... And here they are, turkeys voting for Xmas thanksgiving, having continued to believe the lie that got them there - but, this time, it's going to be turbocharged.

...For a start Putin would have rolled over there would never have been a war in Ukraine by now without US involvement. There, fixed it for you.

Well as I have said about 50 times now my view of what is the root cause of this conflict is very different from yours. Anyhow we are going to find out since Russia's victory in Ukraine is almost inevitable now - as I told you about 2 years ago.

Anyhow we are going to find out since Russia's victory in Ukraine is almost inevitable now - as I told you about 2 years ago.ah no you didn't you see. You said it was inevitable THEN. That is a world of difference. There is not one person - I would doubt - on this forum who was and has been in favour of supporting Ukraine with arms, who didn't both know - and stated as much - that Russian success in Ukraine was ultimately inevitable IF other countries failed to support it. Which was precisely the point. BTW, I don't recall you using that foresight to tell us two years ago that "inevitable victory" of the "world's number 1 military superpower" and its "industrial military base" would be achieved partly by way of outsourcing substantial amount of its arms supply to North Korea (>1 million artillery shells and rockets) and also Iran. Nor bolstering its ground forces with North Korean troops having burned through probably order of 700,000 of its own poor sods. EDIT: clarified by inserting a missing implied negative. However, the intent should have been clear.

I will leave you to continue parroting what you read in the MSM.
