    Trump’s strategy and tactics are working. Famously. Europe is re-arming. Russia and china know that the USA is intolerant of them in our hemisphere. The whole world knows it has to start paying for preserving the postwar order of free trade. And that the USA by its action in Iran and Venezuela is willing to use force in the US interest, but not willing to police the world any longer and letting everyone else free ride on it.
    So, it’s working famously.
    Really.
    Children don’t like being kicked out of the house and told to get a job and pay their way. That’s what trump is doing. And the USA is economically autarkic (independent) and only needs to repatriate certain industries either domestically or to south america to make it totally autarkic and independent of world opinion, war, conflict, economies.
    He is correct for the simple reason that the USA cannot continue to accumulate debt by trying to police the world now that it’s recovered from the world wars and caught up technologically.

    It is what it is.
    I do not err in the least.
    Sorry.

    It keeps them off balance so that he can hold control until his reorganization of the world for the end of the postwar order has been completed. The next president or so will take advantage of that new order, but will work to re-establish relations under that new order. This has been done repeatedly, and will work again. We are friends with the Japanese despite being at war with them we are closer to them than most of europe.

    Trump’s ‘trolling’ is a negotiating technique. It is necessary when the academy state bureaucracy and entertainment classes are captured by the opposition. The left “baits into hazard” with false promises of evasion of responsibility in order to gain power over individuals.. Trump baits into compromise with rear of his hyperbolic excess. I mean read his book. He wrote a book on how to negotiate that way. It’s been public knowledge for decades. So how can you be fooled by something he published openly, practices daily, and people fall for it. Every time. Because he provokes moral outrage to determine people’s real positions, and then knows how to negotiate toward a compromise.

    Those are personal emotional attributions to empirical international competition. It’s childlike. It’s just really common.

    I understand the feeling but Jon Bear is correct. We have tried for three presidents to get europe to bear their responsibilities and they haven’t done it. We’re out of time, so Trump is forcing it. If ‘being nice’ worked then they would have been friends. (France is not a friend btw.) But if their only allies or worse, dependent allies then they are not friends.

    I am a very successful negotiator. I understand what he is doing, why it works, and why the consequences are beneficial either way. The USA cannot subsidize world defense any longer.

  • @RahmEmanuel , @Acyn ; Trump is a genius because he has generated the attention

    @RahmEmanuel

    @Acyn

    Trump is a genius because he has generated the attention and incentives to resolve the issue. Previous presidents have all failed. The fact that Trump uses the same brilliant strategy to capture attention and create incentives to act, and that the nitwittery doesn’t seem to understand it, is a statement about the shallowness of human cognition – humans react they don’t think.

    So where the left baits people into hazard with false promises (yes that’s the left’s strategy), Trump baits people into settlement with false threats. It’s brilliant. It’s effective.

    As for being a bad businessman, he baits greedy young bankers into high-payoff returns, then renegotiates those costs downward afterward. You may not like it but it’s brilliant and it works every single time, because greed and status seeking are endemic in the financial sector.

    He is in a business where he is dealing with bankers, finance, construction management, construction companies, maintenance, housekeeping, hospitality management, marketing and sales. And on the other hand, because he’s working internationally, he deals with governments and corruption both public and private on a daily basis.

    You may not like him because he doesn’t conform to your narrative, and he’s hostile to your means of sedition and corruption. But the data speaks for itself, He has succeeded in personal life, in business, and in politics, and he’s going to go down in history as a reformer on the scale of Regan, FDR, Lincoln, and Jackson.

    He’s right – a lot. And if this is what he has to do to prevent collapse and preserve american people, our economy, and our strategic position then he’s doing it – and his predecessors have all failed except for Reagan.

    You just don’t realize that you are not capable of separating your moral intution, and resistance to reformation from the process and results he achieves.

    It’s ok. That makes you either feminine, a leftist, or a member of the hoi polloi. You need to be goverend and led. The question is, whether you recognized good governance and leadership or you’re just trying to preserve your sense of understanding and control.

    It’s the latter, I assure you

    Cheers.

    It has everything to do with it. The fact that you don’t comprehend it means that you can’t explain what occurs as territories scale, infrastructure cost increases, regionalism is expressed, heterogeneity increases, conflict occurs, and military responsibility is born, and ideological competition (internal colonization) and religious colonization (islam, judaism) expand. The USA started out with four very different fundamentalist groups. That’s why the USA has a secular constitution – to allow fundamentalists to govern. Regardless the north consisted of small farms for domestic consumption, which evolved into industrialism and the south of large plantations with export commodities, and we had a civil war. At present we are heading toward another civil war. And those of us who do this for a living have been predicting around 2030 for it since the 90s. I was predicting earlier (i’m usually wrong on that) and others later. But given normal human cycles of economics, generations, and political reorganization we will have one if this president is unsuccessful in reorganization of the government, and american strategic defense, and repatriation of industry, and reduction of housing costs. If he cannot purge the accumulated corruption by the democratic party through their various NGOs and activist groups, then we will not recover our debth position , not have the growth, the turnover in the presidence will lead to attempted reversal, and we will have our warm civil war turn into a hot civil war.
    I”ve written on this topic enough elsewhere to have the FBI in my kitchen all too many times, assuming I’m advocating for it rather than trying to prevent it. My organization NLI seeks to prevent it.

  • GREENLAND IS A NORTH AMERICAN STRATEGIC ISSUE Greenland isn’t under NATO protect

    GREENLAND IS A NORTH AMERICAN STRATEGIC ISSUE
    Greenland isn’t under NATO protection in practice though. NATO is meaningless without the USA. The whole of europe can’t field anything substantial in war. It’s totally hollowed out to pay for their social programs. Even worse, france is approaching an unrecoverable debt crisis because of it. Germany italy and poland are running out of people.
    Canada is absolutely useless with only 52k total ready forces only a tiny fraction of which about 1000-2000 are immediately deployable. And if we look at naval passages, the north pole and greenland are a russian and chinese naval lake. The UK is down to 75k regulars. Tehy can only deploy 3000-5000 immediately with France equal in that number. Current German capacity is only 1000-5000 and then only if they have US, UK, of french transport and supply. The USA can field 200K anywhere in the world in ten days, and frequentl deploys 90k in exercises. And this is before we talk about air, sea, land, space, and missile power. The USA’s problem is simply that it doesn’t stock enough ammunition and depends upon ramping up production unrealistically. So the net is that NATO is roughly symbolic other than the USA, which is what Trump is trying to change – and what the europeans are resisting. Surveys show that the people won’t even fight for their countries.
    Ask a search engine for a polar map of the world. It’s the shortest distance between chinese, russian, north american and european geographies in the northern hemisphere. Its also the single optimum location for planetary surveillance and monitoring of satellites.
    So greenland is profoundly strategic. And there are only 50k residents there and denmark’s population is only 6M and it’s GDP under $500B. It’s barely equivalent to a large american city. They can’t police it and even less defend it. It would take all of Europe to even try. But Europe has an eastern front with russia, and a southeastern from with islam. And Turkey is a questionable ally. So in the current era, the north polar region is as important as the atlantic was in the past and the pacific has become of late.

    That’s not really true. No one other than france can field anything resembling a force. They’re totally hollowed out. Yes, they’re trying but their numbers are trivial.. They’re aiming for a forward of 100k soldiers That’s nothing. And its just a proposal at this point.

    Poland is doing it’s bit. Until germany does it’s really kind of pointless. France and germany have almost enough economy and population, add italy and poland and you’re getting somewhere. The swedes and finns always punch above their weight but they have tiny populations.
