Yes, Todd!!! The ONLY thing the PedoFelon understands is money. The media whore thinks he’s in control especially with his damn irrational tariffs. Sanctions would be difficult but MUCH better than allowing his regime to continue.
Great insight! Thank you Terry. Trump and his regime are dangerous taking our country where it does not want to go. This has got to stop. I wish I had the answer as to how, but time is soon up for us if we do not figure out how.
My biggest disappointment is seeing how cowardly these Retrumplicans politicians are turning their backs on the rule of law, our Constitution, their oath of office and to the people they are supposed to serve. Very disillusioned for the country and world to see.
the US is gone from the world stage - not just toppled from leadership. It will take multiple lifetimes. if ever, for the US to be respected - this is not just a demented old fool at the top - the entire US government is complicit.
Yes. Trump is wielding this vast American power, which was built up over decades, not by arms and money—China, Russia others have had that—but actually by trust. In a few months, all that “soft power” will entirely have been squandered by Trump. No future US president will ever wield such power again, and we will be weaker, poorer and less respected in the world.
“ Will entirely have been squandered?” I think that ship has sailed as the expression goes. I am also at a point where none of this is surprising. We have been an imperialistic bully for many decades.
Why can't anyone stop this mad "man"? Why is he so untouchable? Are there no Republicans with a conscience? Do they not realize the problems they are helping to make will impact their children and grandchildren? Do they even care?
Short answer: Republicans are afraid of Trump. Longer answer: Too many Republicans believe in the Project 2025 "solution." They like the idea of conservative control of the country.
Thank you Terry for this insightful and well informed look at what shattering foreign affairs diplomacy and norms means for us and the world. Between RFK Jr's insane vaccine denialism which will cost us all and the new "might makes right" foreign affairs policy we are devolving in to a world of survival of the fittest. Not a bright future for us or humanity.
Information propagated by the likes of Fox News and Newsmax is NOT news. It is propaganda. Propaganda because they are NOT reporting. They are PROMOTING. They take a story and concur with their master and tell you that you should agree too.
What we need to do is reenact the Fairness Doctrine for modern times to include cable “news” stations.
Yes Terry, you are correct. As he does, Trump is softening us up for Greenland. Buying it? No, he will make them an offer they can't refuse, and when they refuse, he will act.
An old friend who lives in England as we’ve stayed in touch for over 40 years reached out over the weekend from the events that occurred with our attack on Venezuela and the subsequent talking points from this regime on Cuba, Mexico, Columbia and especially Greenland. The combination of what the Felon has said with the off the wall comments from Stephen Miller and the social media post by Katie Miller with the American flag draped over Greenland with the word “SOON” has sparked more than I think many in this country realize.
While these “old-timers” may not be a member of parliament or some are just the local officials in small towns in England. There are a number of people who are circulating Churchill’s speeches from 1940 as a reminder of what could come about. It’s quite heartbreaking to say the least that friends are now equating this regime to Nazi’s as many have already here have done. But the actions taken by this regime have proven effectively that the comparisons are parallel.
My friend is still a Professor and his counterparts are resurfacing these speeches in advance to the younger generations in order for preparation, which they hope does not come about. Even though Greenland is under Denmarks sovereignty it doesn’t matter, since as we are being told this regime is “running” Venezuela’s government continuously and after being told by Miller that “Who’s going to stop the U.S. military from taking over Greenland” that resonated more than think this regime knows. So much on the table and we need to ensure our voices are heard, get in touch with every Congressional member.
As my friend and I discussed he’s batsh*t crazy enough to try it and that should resonate with every American.
In this speech, Churchill had to describe a great military disaster, and warn of a possible invasion attempt by Nazi Germany, without casting doubt on eventual victory. He also had to prepare his domestic audience for France's falling out of the war without in any way releasing France to do so, and wished to reiterate a policy and an aim unchanged – despite the intervening events – from his speech of 13 May, in which he had declared the goal of "victory, however long and hard the road may be".
On June 4, 1940, during World War II, following the Dunkirk evacuation. A famous speech was delivered by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the House of Commons. “We Shall Fight on the Beaches"
“We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender”
I don’t know where there is a Churchill here in this nation currently. Have seen Governor’s and some Congressional members who could possibly step up in that role.. But don’t know and we are going to come to a reckoning due to the events just unfolding in Minneapolis.. People need to speak up even more, know we are tired but that’s what he wanted to achieve almost numbness .. we can’t be.. Stay safe and healthy…
Perhaps Cuba is next on the trump regime's plate? It has been suggested, by credible reporting, that Rubio has a grudge against Cuba (parents' exile) and will drive this illegal action, too. What do you think, Terry?
I think they believe Cuba will now slide into desperation and rebellion. They will look for advantage to seize the moment—find some strongman (one probably already working with CIA) and install him. That’s my guess. Give it a year. Trump is transforming the Western Hemisphere. And he will move fast and break things.
Trump has always moved fast and broken things, IMO, because reasonable, decent people (aka us) cannot fathom his behavior. And selfish, corrupt people benefit by aiding and abetting him.
Another wake up call for the American people; toppling governments, taking resources and manipulating countries is not new, it’s the way it is being presented to us now. It’s entertainment; Trump showing us how strong, decisive and powerful he is. It’s a distraction from Ice raids, detention camps, the economy and Epstein. Trump is telling us the truth: this is who we’ve been, this who we are (in your face)!
We see the truth, what are we the American people going to do now!
Greenland understands their strategic importance and they have been willing to work with NATO countries on defense. They’ve already agreed to have US bases on their land. They are willing to trade with us. There is no strategic need to take over Greenland. This is narcissistic madness on display.
Yes, I agree. If trump is so worried about us being invaded through Greenland maybe he should have all the American ships over there instead of in an area that poses no threat. Not sure the Greenlanders would like it :-(
Yesterday, the New York Times posted a headline that said, "Stephen Miller Offers a Strongman View of the World." What???? Strongman approach? Crazy man approach, you mean.
The mainstream press consistently represents Trump and his minions as "strong," "machismo," etc.
But these policies don't represent strength. They represent the inherent weakness of a man who couldn't coordinate an Amazon return, much less an invasion of Greenland.
He's weak, demented, crazy. Read last night's post about Venezuelan oil if you have any questions about this.
Only way we as individuals can influence American policy is to boycott American Brands like Tesla, Google, Apple Amazon,Coca cola pepsi, levis American whiskey beer wine petrol etc . I realize that's pretty difficult however it can be done short term. Simply don't buy anything until after the mid terms in November so if you were going to buy a Tesla or an I phone or an iPad or a Google phone this year postpone until this time next year. It will save you money as well, A few months of low sales in Europe would have an impact.
Sanction US, please!
Dear World,
Under the reign of Dictator Trump the United States of America has gone rogue.
We, The People need YOUR help to curtail this evil empire.
How can you help?
Sanction the U.S. generally and Donald Trump and his Regime of sycophants specifically.
Trump only respects money. Grab him by the purse and he will fold like the paper tiger that he is.
Yes, Todd!!! The ONLY thing the PedoFelon understands is money. The media whore thinks he’s in control especially with his damn irrational tariffs. Sanctions would be difficult but MUCH better than allowing his regime to continue.
Great insight! Thank you Terry. Trump and his regime are dangerous taking our country where it does not want to go. This has got to stop. I wish I had the answer as to how, but time is soon up for us if we do not figure out how.
It would be good if we had a legislative branch of government to check and balance the executive. That could work.
My biggest disappointment is seeing how cowardly these Retrumplicans politicians are turning their backs on the rule of law, our Constitution, their oath of office and to the people they are supposed to serve. Very disillusioned for the country and world to see.
GOP Republikkkan Congress MAGATS need to grow a spine
Amen!
Amen!

Linda. We have no leaders. We have no one willing to lead us.
We have a circular firing squad and we are committing S!@#$de.
Short answer: Republicans are afraid of Trump. Longer answer: Too many Republicans believe in the Project 2025 "solution." They like the idea of conservative control of the country.
Hear, hear, Linda!!! 👏 Very well put! I couldn't agree more!

My thoughts and fears, exactly.
Ditto!
You're right Terry. I van barely read anything right now with the worry.
Anyone with a brain cell can put two and two together. They've been planning since BEFORE day one.
The problem is. China and the EU. Russia is loving this.
You notice that Russia is almost depleted? They don't have the money or manpower anymore and Ukraine is attacking Moscow and surrounding regions.
It's kinda like a coincidence, right?
Yup. Greenland is next with Little Cuba as a distraction
Yes Terry, you are correct. As he does, Trump is softening us up for Greenland. Buying it? No, he will make them an offer they can't refuse, and when they refuse, he will act.

A reminder of Churchill speeches.
Sir Winston Churchill 13 May 1940
BLOOD, TOIL, TEARS AND SWEAT
https://winstonchurchill.org/resources/speeches/1940-the-finest-hour/blood-toil-tears-sweat/
In this speech, Churchill had to describe a great military disaster, and warn of a possible invasion attempt by Nazi Germany, without casting doubt on eventual victory. He also had to prepare his domestic audience for France's falling out of the war without in any way releasing France to do so, and wished to reiterate a policy and an aim unchanged – despite the intervening events – from his speech of 13 May, in which he had declared the goal of "victory, however long and hard the road may be".

Thanks. It’s sad we need to re-read Churchill’s words. But we are in those times.
Yes sir, unfortunately
The US needs a Churchill. Where is she/he? Bravery, passion, and a moral compass are in short supply in the self proclaimed greatest nation on earth.
I don’t know where there is a Churchill here in this nation currently. Have seen Governor’s and some Congressional members who could possibly step up in that role.. But don’t know and we are going to come to a reckoning due to the events just unfolding in Minneapolis.. People need to speak up even more, know we are tired but that’s what he wanted to achieve almost numbness .. we can’t be.. Stay safe and healthy…
If Churchill was alive today he would declare that America can always be counted on to do the wrong thing, after it's tried everything else.
Alas, yes. Except Trump isn’t even trying to do the right things.
This so called leadership does everything in the manner of a “bull in a china shop”.
They are not the “Americans” I want representing me; they are oafs and bullies.
Perhaps Cuba is next on the trump regime's plate? It has been suggested, by credible reporting, that Rubio has a grudge against Cuba (parents' exile) and will drive this illegal action, too. What do you think, Terry?
I think they believe Cuba will now slide into desperation and rebellion. They will look for advantage to seize the moment—find some strongman (one probably already working with CIA) and install him. That’s my guess. Give it a year. Trump is transforming the Western Hemisphere. And he will move fast and break things.
Thanks, Terry. Wise analysis.
Trump has always moved fast and broken things, IMO, because reasonable, decent people (aka us) cannot fathom his behavior. And selfish, corrupt people benefit by aiding and abetting him.
His family exiled from cuba
