Hopefully Europe now realizes how

quickly and forcefully they must prepare and act in their own defense, for at least the next few years, and forget the idea that the US will lift a finger with respect to Russian aggression. It should be very clear and need no further analysis than seeing Crumb the 1st go to England, more or less insisting on a royal reception, and then after receiving the royal treatment he comes back here and drafts a security plan that completely turns away from European countries as allies.

Given the announced US strategy to align with Russia the European countries should move immediately on at least 2 fronts regarding Crumb the 1st. First move should be to tell the US State Department that no government visits/personal travel by the US President or his family members will be allowed. The second move would be to aggressively move to use any and all legal means to review compliance with laws, regulations and inspections of all properties owned and/or operated by the US President. Revocation of licenses, investigation for noncompliance with taxes, regulations and inspections should all be top priority.

European countries need to recognize the rat in their midst.

This week featured Germany’s military preparation. If you can watch it, do so. Impressive.

Germany is undergoing a significant military rearmament. The change has been driven by the ongoing war in Ukraine and U.S. pressure on Europe to shoulder more of its defense.

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

If we're not going to help, the bases will be used by those who will.
Australia, Japan and Korea come to mind.

that vulnerable people here in the US are in and perhaps offer an easier ex-pat experience for the years that this clown is in office. Maybe something on the order of a longer term visa.
