The US does not pay the EU money in cash.
The $30b is the effective subsidy based on the money we pay to keep the forces there.
As to "liberating Europe". No thank you. The US already has a bunch of libtards. We don't need to conquer more.
Right hawks like me advocate for the US dramatically reducing our presence in Europe. We have 100k troops there now. We ought to cut that down to 20k or so. Time for the US to stop subsidizing EU security over $30 billion per year. Let them carry their weight for a change.
Then take all that savings & shift it to the 1st island chain to help defend Taiwan.
Europe isn't where the future of humanity will be decided. It's the old world. Asia is the axis on which human civilization will turn for the next century. China is a massive and rapidly rising threat there.
But the liberal media only cares about Europe because that's where all their friends in the liberal elite are. There aren't really liberal elites in asia. Liberal white people, for all their jogger worship, actually just see asians as too alien & don't really care about them.
Yup. No question of it happening now. This has been obvious from the beginning.
NATO doesn't fear Russia & is going to make all Russia's supposed fears of things that never would have happened but for its invasion, come true. Very likely Georgia comes into NATO as well.
Literally what already happens under Obamacare with the healthy being forced to subsidize people who are fat or smoke.
Ideological liberalism means communism, which means dragging down people who make good choices to lift up people who make bad choices.
Yes, all these companies using 2FA don't help you at all when it just means you are royally fucked if someone can steal your phone with a SIM swap.
Matt Walsh should never, ever again keep a phone account in his own name. Everyone at the Daily Wire should use phones that are under a contract with some obscure LLC so the phone carrier employees can't just look them up and steal their SIM.
are you fucking stupid?
from the fact that an armed black mob opened fire on white protestors and murdered 10 of them in a surprise attack.
the whites then began to fight back, drove the black mob back, and then put them under siege.
white people back in those days didn't fuck around, you pushed them, they pushed back.
lame he doesn't seem to have gotten back control yet.
in the comments, the suggestion was that any employee of the carrier his phone is with could hack him with a sim card swap with little to nothing he could do about it.
if that's what happened, he should absolutely sue the shit out of his phone company.
However, you must answer: what is the purpose of a door bell if not to notify the home owner that someone is at the door?
He just told you: to check if anyone is home before breaking in.
Thieves prefer to not break in to occupied dwellings because they're far more likely to get caught.
So ringing the door bell isn't the "proof that he is just a gud boi" that you and all the Democrats think it is.
I agree that the old man should not be answering his door like this.
However, charging him with attempted murder under these circumstances is absurd & political. At a minimum, this is an edge case where the old man's rationale was not as good as it should have been, but we usually do not crucify old people for shooting someone who they think is trying to break in late at night.
DeSantis is not responsible for his donors.
Trump IS responsible for that brown dude Ali Alexander who Trump specifically promoted in his stop the steal bullshit over the objections of his advisers: https://archive.is/OuNMY
Ali Alexander whose real name is “Ali Abdul-Razaq Akbar”. Trump overruled his advisers and made sure Alexander had a speaking spot—if not on Jan. 6 during Trump’s rally at the Ellipse, then at least at Freedom Plaza on Jan. 5.
For example, on January 3, 2020, Republican operative—and Donald Trump Jr. friend—Arthur Schwartz asked senior Trump adviser Katrina Pierson, “Why are we letting our people share a stage with Ali Akbar and people like that?” Pierson was no less disturbed. “I’m so fucking pissed. Such bullshit,” she replied, before adding, “Noooo.” “This is fucking retarded,” Schwartz fired back.
In March 2023, Milo Yiannopoulos published interviews on his podcast describing Alexander's history of allegedly propositioning teenage boys for sex and soliciting nude photos and video from them.
On April 14, Alexander issued a public apology.[72] In the written statement, Alexander said he had long been "battling with same-sex attraction", and that he had at times "been careless" and should have "qualified those coming up to me's [sic] identities" before engaging in what he characterized as "flirtatious banter".
Alexander had allegedly offered one boy the chance to become politically connected and to meet Yiannopoulos in exchange for explicit material. Nick Fuentes, another far-right activist with ties to Alexander, was himself criticized for allegedly pressuring one of Alexander’s accusers to recant. Fuentes later said Alexander had pledged to withdraw completely from public life due to the scandal.[70][72][73] Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on Twitter to condemn Alexander, also claiming that Fuentes was "in on it", and calling for an FBI investigation. Alexander subsequently laid blame for the accusations on Representative Greene, claiming she had paid Yiannopoulos to make allegations against him in an attempt to intimidate him out of reporting evidence she had committed a crime.
What a shitshow. 4 more years of... this?
You are an idiot. It is not legal anywhere to murder someone in cold blood for driving up on your driveway.
Laws that permit lethal force are limited to occupied dwellings, not driveways or other parts of your property.
Yeah, creeped me the fuck out. It's a bunch of pedos who are possibly in denial about being pedos, or they are arguing in bad faith to normalize lolicons full well knowing that it has an expression of pedophilia.
I argue plenty from a legal perspective that calling sexual attraction to age 14-17 is not pedophilia, because it literally is not under the DSM V as well as criminal law. I have been called a pedo many times on reddit for this, even though I'm objectively just correct & fighting against the term pedophile being watered down.
I don't see lolicon the same way at all. These cartoons are intended to represent very young children & appeal to sexual attraction from pedos. I can't imagine why anyone's dick would be getting hard to a cartoon child unless they're a pedo.
lib NPC programming is very resistant to allowing the programmed victim to reconsider its fundamental "truths"
she probably thinks, upon reflection, that her beating was the fault of slavery & she thanks them for checking her white privilege.

We don't have bases in France because the French don't want us there & know they're safe hiding behind Germany, but I agree we should make the bulk of the cuts to Germany & only keep a presence there at all if we need it for logistics.
I agree. And when I say "Asia is the axis on which human civilization will turn for the next century." I don't mean the US won't still be the leader, but we ought to focus on leading Asia, not Europe.
