I would like to disagree. Firstly, by waiting for the ‘half-win’ the Democrats are only allowing Trump to take USA deeper, and deeper down the abyss. Nothing we have seen in his first & second terms suggests that he is capable of a recovery. Secondly, USA has suffered strategic defeats in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan; and yet maintained their position as the preeminent super-power. Trump, just as like Netanyahu, is the main, if not the only, obstacle to an upward curve for the respective countries.

Just a reminder since there are those who seek ot rehabilitate Tucker Carlson

Tucker Carlson is a very, very intelligent man. He is a very evil and cynical man, far worse than most MAGA propagandists (because he is much smarter, much more cynical and amoral than 99% of them).

I am not know as the biggest fan of her (lol), but I would 100% prefer a delusional low-information conspi-person like Marjorie to Carlson. She has never come across as directly cruel and sinister, just bat-shit crazy. I prefer idiots (who even have principles and some steel!) to what can only be called evil people in a Judeo-Christian morality context.

Marjorie can be rehabilitated Shrugs. She has a heart and some principles. She is just extremely ill informed, short sighted, and rather dumb.

Yeah, this shit happens all the time. The enemy of my enemy is not your friend just because he is momentarily useful to you. Raise up his arguments where they are helpful in undercutting Trump and the entire GoP, but lets not make the mistake of promoting him. Because for every good thing he has said against Trump they are still dwarfed by the awful shit he continues to say.

And most of all, he is indeed too smart to be credibly able to play this “I didnt think it would go down this way” card.

That would involve him having to fly over European and Canadian airspace, so could someone force the pilots to land somewhere that has signed to the ICJ and arrest him?

That era ended this week.

NATO’s Support and Procurement Agency has selected the Swedish Saab GlobalEye to replace all 14 of the alliance’s aging E-3 aircraft, in a deal worth around 5 billion euros. The contract goes to Sweden and Canada. Not a single American company involved.

The decision follows the US cancelling its own E-7 Wedgetail procurement in June 2025, shifting instead toward satellite surveillance under the Golden Dome concept. When Washington pulled out, it assumed NATO would wait. NATO didn’t wait.

The GlobalEye uses a fixed AESA radar rather than the E-3’s rotating dish, enabling faster target detection across air, sea, and land at ranges exceeding 550 kilometres, with endurance of over 13 hours per sortie. It is smaller, cheaper to operate, and requires fewer crew. Unit cost sits at roughly 550 million euros, against significantly higher estimates for the E-7.
France had already ordered two. Poland and Germany were circling. Now NATO has formalised it for the whole alliance.

Trump spent 14 months telling Europe to spend more on defence and rely less on America. Europe listened. He just didn’t expect them to mean it quite so literally.

First, Trump wanted to suspend all trade with Spain, now he wants to expel the country from NATO, even though there is no provision for it. They are also thinking about taking punitive measures against the UK in regard to the Falkland Islands.
