And you know it’s true. You are weak. We are strong. The strongest in human history. You try to get over it by claiming some kind of intellectual superiority, while we Americans laugh at your weakness, your cuckoldry as you invite Islam into your nations. Hey, go ahead and pay for your social programs and your defense as we pull away and say, fuck off.

People that voted for the Orange menace should have their voting rights revoked and their minds examined. It spurs the discussion of whether or not an exam should be required - rather than age - to be eligible.

Not true at all. Focusing on our interests does not equate to being simps to Russians. You guys need to get over it. You guys fund and defend Ukraine. Not America’s problem. You guys got this! Stop complaining about us. Take it Norway!!! Get shit done!!! Oh wait…you need America don’t you?

@Colonel_Charles @PatternNavigatr A good point! Seems we only needed less than 40 million Ukrainians to wake us up. Now the entire 400 millions are in shock that 300 million amagicans are somehow simping to the 150 million russians.

Iran does not want a ceasefire, they want an end to the war and security guarantees That is a fair request

Yes, it’s time to ditch this alliance. The threat it was created for is gone. The Russians are a shadow of their Soviet predecessors. There is no communist ideology being aggressively spread anymore. Let the Europeans, who developed a superiority complex, defend themselves. It’s actually quite simple. America defends and actively promotes its interests. The EU is weak and can really do neither without a strong military, which they don’t have.

NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets. The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural. Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them. That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it. After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble. The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first. Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon. American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life. Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake. Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs. We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating. So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving. We were manufacturing jealousy. And it worked. The Wall came down. But here’s what no one accounted for. When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs. And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle. An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas. And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized. So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening. Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude. Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated. Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass. Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar. Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity. What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle. For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked. Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid. Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.” We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries. Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit. You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators. What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization. It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine. That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report. Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us” Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.

@johnkonrad Yeah, I just responded to a Norwegian. These Europeans are confounding to me. They think they are intellectually superior, while they say stupid things. This is the very definition of madness; thinking you are right as you spout nonsense.

What’s really going to hurt Europe isn’t American conservatives or Trump. It’s American liberals who no longer willing to pay “the tax” Since the Iraq War, European high society has extracted a small social toll for access to its culture, its conferences, its academic circles. I’ve seen it dozens of times. At NATO conferences. Academic summits. Cultural tours across the continent. It’s always the same ritual. The organizer goes around the room and asks everyone where they’re from. When someone says “America,” there’s a pause. An uncomfortable silence. The room waits. And the American pays. “I’m sorry.” Or “I didn’t vote Republican.” Or “I personally feel more aligned with Europe.” It’s like a suggested donation at a museum. Put in as much or as little as you want. Hang your head a little. Go on about Trump for a minute. Either works. But you must pay. Skip it and you’ll be politely, gently excluded from the conversation, the dinner, the circle. For years the tax was small. A brief apology, a knowing eye roll about your own country, and you were in. American liberals paid it gladly because the access was worth it. The culture. The networks. The feeling of being one of the sophisticated ones. But the tax just went up. Way up. Now it’s not a brief apology. Now you have to sit and listen to Europeans lecture you about how your entire country is a moral failure. How your democracy is broken. How you’re all complicit. Not just the conservatives. All of you. And here’s what Europeans don’t understand about American liberals: they’ll kowtow all day to keep the peace. They’ll nod along. They’ll agree performatively. That’s what they do. But if you yell at them, they don’t fight back. They don’t argue. They just leave. Quietly. Without telling you why. They put up a bubble around themselves to exclude you. They vote with their feet. And when they leave, they take everything with them. The tourist dollars. The university partnerships. The NGO grants. The conference funding. The cultural exchange budgets. The foundation money. Europeans think the threat to their way of life comes from MAGA. It doesn’t. The real threat is the American liberal who quietly decides that Paris isn’t worth the lecture anymore. That’s not a political shift. That’s a market correction. Conservatives stopped funding you decades ago… your money comes from liberals and they too are now getting fed up. Ya’ll think you can “ride out trump” and “wait for the midterms” but if continue to spew so much anti-American hate that you piss liberals and Democrats off too… you’re hosed. Because, trust me, I live on the most liberal corner of America… once American liberals put that bubble up to protect themselves from “your meanness” no beg or pleading or facts or reality or truth can puncture it.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN THINKS THIS IS THE TIME TO BRING DOWN THE AMERICAN EMPIRE NewsNation's Robert Sherman says if Iran believes China and Russia will rescue them like the U.S. and NATO did for Ukraine, they're delusional. Some material support, some intelligence, but Iran won't get Ukraine-level backing. There's a mindset in Iran that this is the moment to weaken the U.S., stretch resources, force them out of the Middle East, hasten the fall of the empire. Robert's warning: it's not how wars begin, it's how they end. @RobertShermanTV

🚨🇺🇦🇮🇷 ZELENSKY ON REOPENING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ: IT TAKES JOINT COOPERATION NewsNation's Robert Sherman interviewed Zelensky about his Gulf state deals and the Strait of Hormuz. Zelensky's experience reopening Black Sea shipping channels against Russia gave him perspective. His take: reopening the Strait of Hormuz is multi-faceted. You need a deep bench of interceptors to deflect attacks from anywhere. You need a convoy system, which the U.S. Navy can't do alone. You need a conjoined network linking all Gulf states together with electronic warfare and air defense systems to protect the entire waterway. The bottom line is that it's going to take allies, not just one actor forcing it open. @RobertShermanTV

You're either for Israel or for America. They're not an ally. They're a foreign country bleeding us dry. They've taken hundreds of billions from us, they've driven us into disastrous wars, including this one. They want to use our military and treasure until we have nothing left.

Profanity, when used sparingly and with precision, isn’t mud thrown in anger. It’s more like a well-placed hammer strike on a chisel — it cuts through noise and highlights what truly matters. Wisdom in its deployment matters: it’s not as a crutch for poor arguments, but does add emotional weight or raw honesty where polite language falls flat. Overused, it cheapens everything. Used deliberately, it can sharpen truth rather than obscure it.

Points to ponder. The US military makes up only 0.4% of the population. Add on veterans, and it’s still only 5.0%. This is a major source of the disconnect between our military and our citizenry. Most have never served, don’t know anybody who has. No wonder they don’t understand our military culture, our language, and most importantly our professional resolve. They don’t even know why anybody would want to join. And this is why anti-troop/anti-military propaganda on the left is so incredibly damaging to our war efforts. We owe them more.

The "leave no man behind" doctrine is actually a strategic weakness disguised as a virtue. Name one other military on earth that destroys 6 aircraft and fights a ground battle inside a sovereign nation to recover one pilot. You can't. Because no other military confuses tactical sentimentality with strategic logic. Soldiers serve the mission. The mission doesn't serve the soldier. The US has now established that Iran can shoot down an F-15, then watch America spend $300M and expose Delta Force trying to prove it didn't happen. That's not military doctrine. That's politics with weapons. A military that cannot accept the risk of loss cannot win wars. The US hasn't won one since 1945.
Daniel Foubert 🇵🇱🇫🇷@Arrogance_0024

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

This is a satanic administration. We all realize that satanic Zionists occupy the White House and Congress needs to move to have the Mad King Trump removed. All of our lives may depend upon other countries realizing that Trump is deeply unwell and surrounded by religious fanatics who have convinced him that he is a messiah. We are in uncharted territory. Leaders worldwide need to act accordingly.
