@_HenryBolton Perhaps, but it’s also clear that many Europeans here have a delusional understanding of their circumstances and place in the world. In the end we disagree about who is more important to whom, so let’s run the experiment and let reality be the arbiter.

The lack of knowledge amongst many Americans here on X when it comes to the last 120 years of European history is worrying. Hollywood rewriting historical events, too much MAGA nationalist hubris and an insufficiently broad education are the apparent reasons. I’ve huge respect for the USA and am honoured to have spent time in Washington DC - White House, State Dept. Pentagon etc - and 27 months in Helmand with the US Marines, but if you have the wrong information, you will make bad decisions, no matter how strong you are.

@ThomBrady5 In addition to the data centers, launchpads and resource extraction facilities we'll be building there, and can't have subject to stifling EU law.

The value of Greenland is that America can shoot down incoming nuclear missiles, which also would protect Europe. For Europe to fight a war because America tried to shield them from Russian or Chinese nuclear missiles... would be very European.
Asylum Seaker@AsylumSeaker

@KulakMAGAMan @asc_kritias @ThomBrady5 Are you suggesting USA wants to use Greenland as a launchpad for a war of aggression? Naturally Europe would oppose it.

@SuitablePolitic Will they start selling crude in USD and at market price? That would instantly shift the pain to our next adversary China right after knocking Iran off the board.

The moon is getting larger. Already more than halfway there. What mysteries will we uncover once we get there with 2026 tech this time to view it with?

Hard to believe that humans are about to be visiting the moon again for the first time in my life. We are such experts at making a mess of things here on earth, but every now and then we do something truly impressive.

I’ve been activated. Beyond my uniforms, it’s nice to have a small piece of home. It’s a 5x7 of my parents on their 50th anniversary with an inset of them as newlyweds. I’ll be busy but safe. I’m asking God for wisdom, humility, integrity and protection. If you think of us, please pray for my teammates and me. #WHIP #OpEpicFury

Europe has 4 options: 1.) cut a deal with America 2.) cut a deal with Russia 3.) cut a deal with China 4.) reindustrialize and remilitarize I don't really care what you decide to do. I love Europe and want it to be strong. But you need to live in reality, know your options.
Vulchan@asc_kritias

@ThomBrady5 When the US president implies he will invade territory controlled by a European state this is *not* antagonization? But it is when some European states opt to say "we will sit this one out" to a Middle Eastern war that has nothing to do with them? Is your account satirical?

@MalcontentmentT Add that to the "interesting" file, next to accusations from Iran that it was a diversion to steal the nearby enriched uranium... Wild and unfounded rumor, but interesting. And would be 100% epic if true.

Malcontent News@MalcontentmentT·
Why is no one talking about how the WSO is a full bird colonel? This is beyond unusual as most colonels in the USAF have moved into paper pushers roles. A colonel would be a wing commander (brigade for army) or in a similar senior role who would have deep operational knowledge. This is not a person you want in enemy hands. Even if their primary role was flying a desk, they would still maintain their competence as a WSO if that was connected to their role. Whether this was a vanity flight for bragging rights or a ribbon, or the mission was so sensitive it required them on it, the Pentagon cannot let a colonel fall into enemy hands. When you understand these dynamics, the urgency of the rescue makes sense.

Iran has made a bet that's paid off for 47 years: the US isn't willing to endure the economic pain that striking it would bring down. Two things changed that calculus: 1. US energy independence 2. The threat of nukes and long range delivery systems. Security > economics, always.

@RBeansTx @0hour1 We absolutely can. Trump will say that the law is unconstitutional, will just do it, and by the time the Supreme Court rules on it it's a fait accompli.

@FistedFoucault That's about the only path to staying relevant that Europe has. Unfortunately for you, the US and China are not likely to oblige.

My ideal scenario is for the Yanks and Chinks to slaughter each other over the period of 10 to 15 years while Festung Europa sits it out and sells everything to both sides over the course of the war.

🚨 BREAKING: Iran could reportedly strike a deal with President Trump as soon as TODAY to stop hostilities Until it becomes official, Trump is full-steam ahead on DECIMATING Iran and bridge-power plant day is tomorrow 🔥 "Iran and the U.S. have received a plan to end hostilities. This is a framework that was put together by Pakistan. It reportedly includes an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive agreement." "The White House, they're telling Fox this morning that the president has not signed off on this and that Operation Epic Fury continues." "Of course, all the success of this mission over the weekend came with a renewed warning from the president that bridges and power plants will be targeted tomorrow if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened."

Japanese have made many food "makaizou-extreme modification", such as Chinese soup noodles, Indian curry, Portuguese deep fries, and more. I am looking forward to Americans' "makaizou" of Japanese cuisine to create new delicious dishes.

To my friends in America, There is a Japanese word called '魔改造-makaizou' . This means a magical/devilish (in a good sense) modification. I hope that we can increase wonderful makaizou like Texas BBQ onigiri through Japan-US cultural exchanges.

@TheFl0orIsLaVa You'd rather negotiate with and appease a country trying to develop nukes and delivery systems. We get it. You're not in a position to do otherwise. Americans are. Americans are just built different I guess.

A lot of Americans on my timeline: "Europeans don’t understand why we’d lose millions in tech to save a pilot. They don’t care about their troops". That's not true. We care deeply and that’s exactly why we didn’t agree to send our people into Iran in the first place.
