I was aware that illegals didn't really have good ethics, but yeah it makes a shocking amount of sense that a lot of them are pedophiles trying to stay under the radar, along with other sex offenders and general criminals.

It's like how Giuliani nabbed tons of criminals by going after turnstile jumpers. Not every turnstile jumper has an active warrant, but every guy with an active warrant jumps the turnstile.

How is asking nicely supposed to humiliate the faggot leadership of the EU?

We've been asking other Nato members to increase their defense spending and start taking China seriously for fucking years.

That's not the same as asking Denmark/Greenland for permission to build more bases or defence systems though. Seems like that would be an easier thing to do, without expending political capital and credibility in the process.

How does backpedaling on threats made only days earlier humiliate anyone but the person making them?
 
Looks like another ICE shooting involving a car trying to ram an agent just happened in LA

Not much info yet but he's Fox Newz with some info.

How many times has Trump done this already, like 20+?

We have no idea what this deal is. All we have is Trump stating he conversed with the head of NATO and has a framework for a deal with Greenland and the Arctic Region. Trump is taking the tariff threat down but that was only if he got Greenland. Why would he go to NATO and not Denmark? NATO can't offer him Greenland so something besides Greenland got Trump to drop the tariffs.

My guess is that Mark Rutte told him of either ongoing or upcoming Arctic defense strategies which assuaged Trump about the security of the region. Trump seems to respect Rutte and trusts his word.

Trump can spin this as a win, although I would like to see the specifics of what the US is doing now in regard to Greenland.

I have zero doubt that if Trump had asked to do just that the request would have either been lost in a shuffle of bureaucratic paperwork on purpose or intentionally haggled into forcing the US to pay way too much money for the privilege.

European leadership don't like America as a hard rule with rare exceptions because of a retarded inferiority complex.
 
Befitting for page 12000 that we've got more deranged attacks on ICE and an upcoming Greenland deal. The next 1000 will fly by.
 
Chauntyll Allen, Saint Paul Public Schools board member who STORMED a church with an anti-ICE mob, JUSTIFIES her actions, calls ICE murderers, and says that invading a church service was "what needed to be done."

Google tells me the USA has 31 military bases in Europe. I really don't see why it is so difficult to imagine Denmark/Greenland agreeing to a couple more in the middle of nowhere.

If these bases and NATO spending are such a financial burden with no upside for the USA it suggests American foreign policy has been badly wrong for over 60 years. Was Reagan really such an idiot?
