@BuzzPatterson @TrentTelenko Hey Buzz…coming from a large oil producing nation , let me warn you. The only reason US has large production is because of fracking. That will be coming to decline soon. You will be begging Canada for oil afterwards. Enjoy your fracking while you can!

@acoyne Can you define defeat? Air Force: Gone, Navy: Gone, Nuclear Enrichment: Gone, Supreme Leader: Gone.

@Jamesb928 @acoyne Nuclear enrichment gone? Receipts? Who controls Hormuz? How come missiles and drones still flying? Destroyed?

MAGA thinks Europe can't defend itself without America. Here's what they don't know. 1. France and Britain have 515 nuclear warheads and 8 nuclear missile submarines. 2. European defence spending hit €481 billion this year. That's more than Russia and China spend combined. The EU's ReArm Europe plan is mobilising another €800 billion. 3. European countries have over 1.7 million active troops. Russia has 1.3 million. 4. EU and UK air forces fly over 1,400 combat aircraft. Their navies have five aircraft carriers, over 60 submarines, more than 120 frigates and destroyers. 5. Europe has over 6,000 artillery pieces and that's before the biggest rearmament wave since the Cold War. Poland alone is adding 212 new howitzers. 6. The British SAS invented modern special forces. The US copied them to build Delta Force. From France's Foreign Legion to Poland's GROM, Europe's elite units are among the deadliest on earth. 7. Europe already has joint military commands ready to fight. The UK leads a 10-nation rapid reaction force across Northern Europe and the Arctic. Finland alone can mobilise 900,000 trained reservists all prepared to fight in arctic conditions. 8. Europe has its own satellite navigation (Galileo), its own defence programme (75 active projects) and is building its own rapid deployment force. The "helpless Europe" story was never about defence. It was about keeping Europe dependent and buying American weapons, relying on American intelligence, following American foreign policy. Thanks to Trump, that now ends.

@AdamKinzinger More than that, absolutely nothing was accomplished, other than Iran apparently getting about $80B/year in tolls to rebuild everything and continue U235 enrichment. What a generational defeat!

@AdamKinzinger Gods Cooper has fallen into the Fealty Circle. You defeated the Iranians? How about trying on their 1.2 million soldiers. Good luck!

How do we know if there has been regime change in Iran? If the survivors who negotiate in Pakistan sing the same “we can keep/enrich uranium” tune as their predecessors, it’s not regime change. If they say they control Hormuz, it’s not regime change. If it’s the same as before, this isn’t over.

@AriFleischer Why don’t you send your military, since it’s the greatest most Powerful armed force in history….(except slight problems in Iran)

France says they want to play a leadership role in the Middle East. Let them start in their former (Christian-majority) colony/mandate of Lebanon. France should disarm Hezbollah. Beirut was the Paris of the Middle East until Jordan threw out the radical, violent PLO, which took over southern Lebanon in the 1970s. It was called Black September and it led to a 20-year civil war between Christians and Muslims in Lebanon. The Muslims largely won. Then came Iran and southern Lebanon and much of Beirut became home to Iran’s proxy militia, Hezbollah. If France wants to be useful, Macron should send in his military to help the Lebanese Army disarm Hezbollah, as required by UN resolution 1701. Why should Israel have to disarm Hezbollah? France wants to play a leading role. France claims it has a strong military. This is their chance to do something other than issue a communique. Let France lead the fight. Help Lebanon and get rid of Hezbollah. (The sad truth is France is too weak to do it, no one trusts them, and they’d rather issue statements than do anything concrete.)

Moving the US military out of west European bases will be costly, slow and complicated. These bases are large and sophisticated. Wherever we move to has to be equally sophisticated and secure. A good place to start is moving from Spain to Morocco, where the US used to have a SAC base. Morocco has several modern facilities, including our former bases. Morocco is already a designated non-NATO major ally (so is Bahrain), is a member of the Abraham Accords, and is pro-western. They’re also a tolerant and beautiful country. The US has options. If Spain, France and Italy won’t help us, we can find better places to go.

Europeans are clearly done with America. Canadians will remain with our European family, we have been with them since before Canada was an independent nation. Long before America ever existed. Our fates are forever tied with Europe till the bitter end. America never wanted to defend Europe thats fine. We are preparing ourselves its our responsibility that is fine too.

This isn’t the first one of Carney’s little prizes he’s paraded around like a show pony. Show me any other prime minister who has done this when someone crossed the floor just one. It’s f’n creepy and bizarre.
