Tactics. Say something outrageous. Then appear to be lenient when countries reach 3-4%. Say thanks, knowing all along that 5% is out of reach for most.
Trump woke us from a slumber & made us even stronger + economically the USA benefits from NATO hundreds of billions of dollars.

Instead of attacking and trying to sanction Musk, maybe the EU should focus on the true enemy of the West, which is Russia.

Elon Musk isn't the main news. The rape gangs are. And a much greater threat.

For example. Same realism. Means are different.

How Gorka describes Trump's foreign policy is not that different from the likes of Alexander Stubb when he talks about realpolitik. Means are different, of course.

I highly recommend this interview
"What people don't understand about President Trump's geopolitical stance is that he's not a neobuchananite isolationist; he knows that is asinine. Yet, he's not the other extreme; he's not a neoconservative interventionist"

People like you only want democracy when your own side wins. In other words, you don't want democracy but autocracy.

I have a feeling that both Elon and Trump will surprise a lot of their critics.

Why? Thanks is more appropriate. For Elon and the whole company.

Biden didn't go. His wife did. And Trump is the next president of the United States.

Clearly, you are not one.
Democracy is democracy, even if you don't like the outcome. That is what makes it not a dictatorship.

Because Biden didn't go and he is the next president of the United States. Good thing that he did, and he wore blue & yellow when met with Zelenskyi 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 Clearly a message.

A world leader meeting with other world leaders. Nothing bad about it.

Btw. Trump wore blue & yellow. 🇺🇦 Clear signal to Russia.

And I have been critical of Trump and many other MAGA people, but the Gorka interview was a good one. As was his substack. And this is a man Trump picked. And he is clearly critical of Russia. So maybe things are not so clear-cut.

Listening to an older Sebastian Gorka interview and the Biden decision came as a shock. In 2021 Biden lifted the sanctions on the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Weak and as we know now, a dangerously costly move. Maybe Trump is a better, stronger leader in some cases...

In this interview, Gorka outlines what America First and peace through strength means. More proof that the isolationist MAGA doesn't understand Trump's policies.

Minä näin koiran, joka oli huoneessaan isäntä ja herra. Hävitys oli langennut huoneen ylle ja sen seiniä poltti kauhea tuli. Mutta koira katsoi tulta ja sanoi: Näin on hyvä.

Ymmärrän katsontakannan. Itse näen Stubbin hyvinkin presidenttinä ja ehkä juuri sellaisena joka osaa rikkoa kaavoja rakentavasti. Esimerkiksi liittyen akateemisuuteen en yllättyisi jos perustaisi jonkinlaisen presidentin ajatushautumon presidentin kabinetin yhdeksi haaraksi

Itsellä Stubb menee selkeästi 1. Positiivinen, puhuu 5 kieltä, kansainvälinen ajatuksineen ja olemuksensa puolesta, verkostoitunut, urheilullinen sekä älykäs ja en usko, että häkeltyy Trumpinkaan kaltaisten tyyppien kanssa, eli osaa pelata ns. politiikka peliä isojen poikien kanssa. Ei nöyristele
