Rumors claiming Patel has a drinking problem, or is it another Democrat red herring?

Yeah I will be waiting to see what 170’ long blades are recycled into

Heaven forbid we look into it and create a solution. It’s not like they can’t be cut into manageable pieces. We can always grind them up and use it for packing around nuclear waste barrels.

Since Trump by now has made sure that any potential adversary knows that its unlikely that he would order the US to assist other Nato allies it would be better if he simply left. Obviously it would not make Europe stronger, but on the other hand it would not make us weaker either due to the first paragraph above.

I think it would be much better for europe to truly know that we are on our own instead of having some dream or fantasy that things will return to normal once Trump is gone...

If Russia and/or China attacked the U.S, would NATO jump into the fight? I have serious doubts that they would. You would probably just sit back and watch.
Yet, here you all are crying about Trump's stance on NATO.

If China makes a move against Taiwan I have a feeling that the numbers in this recent article from Politico might change:

More Europeans see US as threat than China

Washington outranks Beijing as a threat in Spain, Italy, Belgium and Germany, according to POLITICO European Pulse survey.

www.politico.eu

I assume the numbers in the chart above are a result of the US behavior under the present Trump administration concerning Greenland and similar threats towards Europe.

When China places their boot on your neck, you will reassess who is the real danger! Why in Hell can't you wait a little over two years and find out who has always been your ally?

Thanks for having a sense of humor on this. I was only joking..(but, seriously, c’mon it’s ours. )

I got that, I tried to be ironic but its always hard when not face to face, anyway thats why I used the: -smiley.

The most telling thing in that article is that their polling shows that only 19% of Europeans would take up arms and fight if their own country was attacked…

So Europe worries that the US won’t be there to defend it if it is attacked and Article 5 is invoked..

But less than 1/5th of the population would bother to fight to defend itself..

If more than 4 out of 5 Europeans truly think it’s someone else’s job to defend them in the event of foreign invasion, Europe deserves to lose the right of self governance when that invasion occurs..

It’s one thing to say you dont want to fight.. it’s quite another to say you wont fight..

Yes, most of it is really sad reading, both the fact that many europeans seems to think the US is more dangerous then China and of course also the part about poor defense will or what to call it.

Maybe he does…

If the D’s are so concerned about a POSSIBLE drinking problem with Patel…

When are they going to get serious about looking into the possible drinking problem of Pelosi?

I think that Nato will answer if Russia attacks since their attack is most likely to happen within the parts of the world that is included in the treaty. If China attacks I have a feeling that it will be in the Pacific or in the Indian Ocean and therefore outside the parts covered by the treaty. I like to think that Nato would assist but I guess that if they do that will be "outside the perimeter of the alliance" so to say.

I did not said that I personally think that the US is more dangerous then China for Europe, it was more intended like a discussion starter, my point was more that if China attacked Taiwan then european opinion would most likely turn against China and be more pro-US despite Trumps actions.

And if you are referring to my previous posts about that it might be better if US exited Nato thats more about forcing europe to fend for ourselves. I think that if Trump keeps behaving like has then the deterrence of the alliance will fail and therefore it would be better if he either shut up or actually made the US left. I am afraid that european leaders might be tempted to wait his term out instead of continuing to rearm.

The law of nature is survival of the fittest. The strongest and fastest carry on the gene pool while the weak become food for others. Unfortunately the Iranians are more like a virus or disease that can inflict harm on all others, which they do at every chance they get. Just when you think all is good they return like tuberculosis, polio and the measles.
Call me any name you would like but until you look at Google earth where Iran is and see only this, no one is safe.

NO BODY WANTS TO WORK ANYMORE!...... How many times have you heard that?

Well this woman agrees, with her illegal workforce not showing up, she has taken to advertising $2,600-$3,000mo salary for 60-70hrs a week of farm work and is surprised that people will not show up.

So she is having to build housing so that she can bring in LEGAL visa workers to operate the 4,000ac farm she inherited.

It’s surprising how many people seem surprised or feel duped about the governor of Virginia and her seemingly 180° direction change from campaigning to governing.

If you look into her past government work, you’ll see what her role was. Then look into what that role entails. The personality traits people in that role must have to be successful. They aren’t positive traits, and are often viewed as defects in society.

Its POSSIBLE they got some uranium from the US in the last 47 years.. but I think thats pretty unlikely.. we know exactly where they got most of their uranium from..

prior to 1979, the US, France, and Germany all provided (sold) Iran with uranium for the purpose of building energy reactors..

they also have significant uranium deposits within their own borders that have been mined.. Saghand Mine and Gachen Mine are the most notable..

and.. we know they got most of their nuke technology the AQ Khan network in Pakistan and from China..

I dont think there are any huge secrets behing where the uranium comes from or who has been providing them with the tech and the knowledge to turn that uranium into weapons grade materials..

the issue is no one has had the balls to do anything about it until now..

What I find interesting is the US has been very public about hitting all of the Iranian uranium processing facilities.. but there is no evidence (to my knowledge) that we have hit the actual mines...

I would imagine we'd want to figure a way to collapse those mines in on themselves.. the uranium mines are very deep "tunnel" type mines.. while they could always dig them back out, I'd think dropping a couple of jdams down the main and vent shafts would be in order and would make it a little harder on them going forward to extract more uranium to replace what we have rendered inaccessible to them or what we're ultimately going to take from them..

I agree the us Trump uses is probably not America mined uranium. The question to me is it from the Uranium One deal. If so it is probably from Kazakhstan or Canada through Russia which also has contributed uranium to Iran. This is obviously speculation but Trumps use of words lead to the speculation.

Irans uranium is of poor quality and started coming online around 12 years ago. Much of their nuclear program started before this.

Narcissism is actually quite common and can be assessed as an attribute in many situations.

Makes you wonder if the SPLC funded Ray Epps and these guys.

 

[mdwest]

I think its a fair statement to say that most politicians that stay in the public eye routinely display HEAVY narcissitic behaviors..

constant self promotion

seeking attention

projection of confidence even when uncertain

framing yourself as uniquely capable

sensitive to criticism

that describes about 95% of the politicians that we see or hear about regularly.. whether we're talking D or R..

most of them are narcissitic assholes... if they werent, they wouldnt run for public office..

You can tell who is the most concern to the Democrats every other week by who they go after. Patel is a drunk right as the SPLC is indicted. Gabbard has lost Trumps trust when she unsilos the IG Atkinson testimony.

It’s like clockwork.
