O/T:- Trump Presidency 2.0 [hic sunt dracones]

Israel is an illegitimate state, given to settlers, not by the indigenous people living there, but by foreign powers abroad.

I'm sure you are well versed on all the illegitimate states that exist in the world. Why not pick on them too?

In fact I suspect that the number of states occupied and run by indigenous people could be written on the back of a postage stamp

But have Trump's actions started to fix years of decline, or will they lead to more years of decline?

It seems that the Beatles invasion of the USA would not happen now, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ained-deported

I have heard of one person who was offered a number of gigs in the US following a successful SxSW festival and has since been advised by his agent, along with others, not to travel there again under the current climate.

I do pick on other such injustices, including but not limited to, such injustices here in Canada.

The reason it was talked about here is because I was replying to Jampies comments on the Signal leak scandal.

Nobody says it forbids self determination. C'mon, you are not that dense. You're trolling now. Self determination does not mean you can create a breakaway state. It means self determination - a right to democratic representation.

That?s exactly what it means; that a people with similar political ambitions can create their own independent government or state.

You think that states can only become independent if the state from which they are seeking independence agrees?

Greenland: So what's the play here? My guess, Russia starts a build up towards Greenland; Trump builds up troops and "rescues" Greenland persuading them to become the 51st state; Russia and Trump agree to share the spoils as a peace deal. Denmark pulls its hair out whilst the rest of Europe waves their arms in indignation.

The narrative coming out of the White House beats anything coming out of the Kremlin hands down. How can we make MEGA happen? (Make America Go Away?)

Wouldn't that still be MAGA?

Trump seems focused on MADA - Make America Despised Again.

Just had MEGAlomaniac in my head as I was typing.

Is there any insanity in the trump family line.

Wrong question. Should be "is there ANY sanity in the trump family line"!
