Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau presents a well-articulated change in perspective from the U.S. State Department. The response comes following the EU decision to levy a compliance fine against the social media platform X.
[SOURCE]
What Christopher Landau notes as the contrast and conflict in ideological priority from the EU can just as easily be applied to the USA dynamic with Canada. As noted by Twitter user John Frank, “The same observations can easily apply to the relations with Canada, given the divergence between the US role in the military alliance with Canada, while Canada is involved in activities which work against US interests.”
At a certain point it does become necessary to distinguish exactly what values, benefits, perspectives and priorities frame the positions that determine who our U.S. allies really are, and who should benefit from that relationship.
It is good to see a structurally different perspective from the U.S. State Department that puts a bold underline under the term “western alliances.” What values are those alliances based on?
The EU: With friends like these, who needs enemies. NATO will someday fall apart and deservedly so with the shenanigans going on with Ukraine.
NATO fell apart years ago…
President Trump needs to tell NATO members to grow a set of balls and start defending themselves… And then, get the USA out of NATO.
And kick the UN out while we are at it.
Yessss.
This impotent debate club-UN-should have been move to Antarctica loooong time ago ….
As my real British friends would say “Here, here”.
NATO is a treaty that only CONgress can withdraw from. ChiCom Mitch’s 2nd to the final act of betrayal before relinquishing his Majority Leader position.
The final act of betrayal was positioning himself as Chairman of the Senate Rules Committee & Susan Collins as Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee effective 1-3-25.
Everyone intent on beating on Ldr Thune about Senate appropriations & rules (including the filibuster) is beating on the wrong person(s).
Did Trump see that coming last winter? If not, he needs a list of people inside and outside of his administration who should have alerted him… meaning those who know the machinations of the uniparty in the Senate and House. Those people should be put on the untrusted list.
The “law” passed by congress is full of loop-holes, the President can withdraw if he so chooses…
Should President Trump choose to not withdraw from NATO to keep congress happy, he still has the option of stopping all funding of NATO and stopping the supply of arms and ammunition to NATO…
McConnell is retiring from the Senate. He will be gone in January 2027.
The longest goodbye.
clever!
That is priceless.
Macron (France), Merz (Germany) and Starmer (Britain) are relying upon censorship in order to win the next elections. They are all very unpopular within their own countries. They would be even more unpopular if their people were to figure out that they are doing their best to prevent Trump’s peace negotiations from succeeding.
Having learned nothing from Napoleon’s and Hitler’s self-destructive attempts to quickly conquer Russia, they want to enter the Ukraine War (preferably with the U.S. as their ally). Then they can play the exciting new version of “Russian Roulette!” In the original version, each player loads a single bullet in a revolver, spins the cylinder and then points the revolver at his head and pulls the trigger. In the new version, the European powers take a chance on starting a nuclear war.
The European powers game of “Russian Roulette” is to load ALL chambers in the revolver except one and spin the cylinder. Continue with the rest of the game as noted.
A crazy old friend of mine, since deceased, would frequently say, “With friends like me, who needs enemas?!?”
Keep in mind this attack on X-platform is not new … the EU and individual “Western Members” of the EU (primarily France and Germany) have been shaking down US Big Tech and Big Tech Media Platforms for 10’s and 100’s of millions of dollars in faux Anti-Trust and Data Privacy Claims … paid in pre-trial settlements since 2000.
This time it happened to be Elon’s turn in the docket, as the new guy on the block and especially since he is not supporting the censorship laws being put in place by the EU and some of it’s members.
During President Trump’s first term … he was able to put stop to this crap and will likely act on this incident … this is the first time the US State Department actually stepped in to comment as well as offer support.
Democrats do the same thing here. They use the DOJ to shake down companies with lawsuits, investigations, regulatory actions and prosecutions. Those fines and settlements are used to enrich and to fund Democrat activities.
That was my first impression: the EU is lookin’ for money and if they can throw in a little moralizing, so much the better.
They cant use USAID for couch cushion change, so they have to go looking elsewhere.
ALSO…… the NarcoDollars ™ is drying up.
Gibson guitar comes to mind.

The EU is a marxocrat entity just like our domestic terrorist party called the democrats. Marxism and islam are on the march and must be destroyed.
You nailed it, they both must be destroyed. The EU is now just as bad as the CCP.
The European Union is just the former Soviet Union shifted westward.
and the GOPe…do not leave those anti-American butts out of the list of enemies
Love the picture of the President. Tell the EU to F Off. Let them block X/Twitter. It will just reaffirm to their constituency who and what they are.
A major speech on behalf of the people of the Western allies should be on the horizon: “Citizens of the UK; we are WITH YOU.”
The movie “The Untouchables” comes to mind after seeing that picture. (Though a figurative head-bashing is what’s happening right now).
Untouchables; “How far are you willing to go?”
Maintaining alliances with and funding these backstabbing dirtbags has to stop.
Let’s get out of the business of allowing ourselves to be used while at the same time claiming it’s necessary for “engagement”.
Free speech, even offensive, is a cornerstone of “shared western values.” Ideas should be debated openly. Sadly, it is clear the “elites” want to control the narrative and what is “allowed” to be true. This is happening all over, including here. The lamestream media is losing control of this, their blatant open lies have thoroughly discredited them. Trump et.al. calls them out. Alternative sources are now more trusted and favored. Thanks Sundance and all you treepers!
”Covid” kicked WIDE open the partially closed door of controlled speech. And the world cheered and danced to the tune during that ‘crisis’. Those in power then fully understood the cowardness of the public and are now consolidating more fully the reins of general control. It appears that nearly every conspiracy theory presented is coming to fruition……
I wonder how much of Covid was advance planning versus jumping on an opportunity.
Nearly ALL of it was planned. They brazenly videotaped their group discussing numerous details of the covid process in a September 2019 meeting in New York.
Covid was a test, just like Barack Obama was a test. And they’re very pleased with the results.
Educated thieve like inside jokes. Educated thieves also like to tell you what they are up
to, and then lie through their teeth after they have done it.
Covid, the meetings that were held suggesting it, the implementation of it, fit all of the
above criteria.
Also, educated thieves are lazy. Once they grab onto a pattern that works for them, they
let go of it only when they are discovered dead to rights. After that, the patterns is resumed
after sufficieint time. When the rubes are no longer paying attention.
All you have to do is go back and watch Gates start doing the pandemic circuit, to know it was advance planning.
Just waiting for the right moment to launch. I think they needed it sooner rather than later. Hildegard was supposed to be in office. Had that situation worked out, she would likely have gotten a second term riggedin her favor. It is my belief the chi com flu would have been launched going into fall 2024 to suspend the election indefinitely.
Then finish us off.
Based on decades of real world experience, with real people, I can confidently say the USA has ZERO true allies. We have acquaintances and leeches, but nobody to come to our aid if there is a man-made or natural disaster. We should view the world through that lens. From a financial perspective, perhaps Saudi Arabia is the closest thing we have to an ally?
Wholeheartedly agree.
I was somewhere, doing my duty in Uncle Sam’s Yacht Club when this gentleman made the same point… —> https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/gordonsinclairtheamericans.htm
Oh I LOVE (and miss) Gordan Sinclair!!!
He was a Canadian I could support!!!
Yes indeed.
I, too, spent time in Uncle Sam’s Yacht Club. Most of my sea rotation dutystas were isolated overseas. The USA is damned if we do, and damned if we don’t. The Europeans would nit at me about our policies. Sometimes, I’d stop them dead in their tracks by asking them why they despised us no matter what action we took or didn’t take. They never answered my question.
Yeah. I too had my share of the Euro’s whanging on Nixon this and Nixon that during the Seventies.
Tired of ’em then. Exhausted with ’em now.
Saudi Arabia is a Muslim nation first.
We are infidels as far as they are concerned but we can serve a purpose by bringing them into an alliance with the West meaning lucrative trade deals including military defense, technology and energy resources.
Islam is not our friend.
Yes, the Saudi’s are simply using us, and we are too dumb to figger it out,
SA’s decades long export of wahhabi islam is your 1st clue they’re not friends.
Islam is not a Religion! Name me a religion that says it OK to lie to people and kill the non believers! Islam is a CULT!
And anyone who wants to leave the cult is also killed.
Shows the basic criminality of the enterprise. Was a juror in a lengthy trial
about a national gang years ago. Will not be more specific. Got to hear about
11 different murders in 5 different locations. Four of the eleven murders were
about persons that were trying to leave the gang.
That’s why one on one you might meet or work with a “nice, reasonable” muslim
individual. But, you will never see these individuals try to organize collectively.
They know the fate they face if they choose to do so.
The Saudi’s hate our guts, they pretend to be our friends just like the republlicans pretend to be friends of MAGA.
If and when the chips are down, Russia will be our closest ally.
Or “Special Relationships”…
Are we clear, Keir Starmerbannfurher??
Good d morning Betsy….they are worse than Islam+CCP combine..
Ach so… Das ist gut, Frau Betsy.
Aber du hast die Umlaut in “Fürher” vergessen.. 🥸
“Führer” or “Fuehrer”.
Dang you’re right. My Deutsch spell check didn’t catch that. Thanks!
Somewhere around a hundred countries sent aid to America after hurricane Katrina but that was pre-Trump. There are also many countries that regularly send help to fight our forest fires. 911 also saw many countries providing aid. So, nobody isn’t quite accurate.
Even China has provided aid, but the way I see it we don’t really need the financial part. Aid comes to us yes, with underlying motivations, but it’s mostly gestures of good will and furthering peaceful connections between countries. Like a rich neighbor you like, you’re not going to give them money but you might bake up a hot dish after a fire.
Wow that is a rather uninformed and false comment. Try this link: https://www.cp24.com/news/canada/2024/10/11/gruelling-days-and-gratitude-for-canadian-linemen-helping-with-us-hurricane-outages/ or do a Web search and find out this has happened quite regularly. On 9-11 Canadians opened up their communities and homes to thousands of stranded air travellers forced to land, and did so in the spirit of being good neighbours and citizens.
Don’t confuse the liberal ruling party’s stance with that of all Canadians. Canada works very co-operatvely with the US in both NATO and NORAD and our border scrutiny using aerial reconnasaince has vastly improved with the Fentanyl worries put forward by the Trump gov’t.
I live along the CAN – US border and Blawkhawk helicopter patrols have been substanially implemented to monitor the border … something your US media never reports.
https://www.moodys.com/web/en/us/kyc/resources/insights/canada-implements-regulatory-amendments-to-bolster-aml-ctf-efforts-and-border-security.html
The vast bulk of Canadians don’t hate the US or wish it any ill, we are however concerned that the recent trade / tariff disputes are fomenting a false conception that all Canadians are part of the “elbows up” crowd of fools. Most Canadians would rather have some serious & sober-minded adults address the issues at the heart of the trade dispute.
Being a regular reader here, I would hope for a more thoughtful responce vs this lopsided and uniformed view being offerred here.
“Therefore I say that it is a narrow policy to suppose that this country or that is to be marked out as the eternal ally or the perpetual enemy… We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.” (UK Prime Minister Lord Palmerston from a speech in the House of Commons, 1 March 1848)
The Europeans do not defend themselves or their women or children. They do not marry, form strong families or have children. They mass import those whom they share no cultural or religious values. They are a lost people. A weak vassal state who think they have agency. They have nothing and they have no future. They should be given a short sharp shock by us so they know their place.
Sounds like you are talking about our Blue States and Blue Cities?

Russia would make a much better ally.
I’ve gotten in so much trouble for voicing that thought at the coffee shop.
It was the mid-60’s before Toyota could sell a few cars in America. Even then, working in a filling station, I had several old Vets go into a rant over seeing one get serviced. Some things emotional, take nearly a lifetime to get over. We’ve been indoctrinated heavily for over 70 years as I’m sure they have been too.
Find a better coffee shop patronized more by ideological allies……
do not worry….bring bullhorn next time….
The EU views the Trump presidency as an unwelcome, but temporary, speed bump. They believe the Democrats will take Congress over the next three elections and the U.S. will be mired in a “divided” government with the uni-party operating as before. With an increasing number of poor Republican voters expected to stop voting after 2026 when they discover they’re being kicked off all subsidized healthcare if they get sick and lose their job, resulting in the Democrat Party taking Congress: why would EU strategists think differently? They reason, enjoy the MAGA intermission, it’s a bump in the road that will soon be over. Then everything resets back to EU authoritarian globalist radical leftism and the “spirit of the antichrist” as their spirituality once more, just like before.
Your comment about healthcare is a deflection of the fact that we desperately need to repeal and replace the unaffordable care act. It’s been a disaster for patient costs and access. All else you’ve stated fails because of that false premise. You’re a concern troll and it’s to spot for those of us who actually read. And who gives a rats ass how the euroweenies view Trump and MAGA. They have bigger problems than we do
The ACA has been a life saver for millions of poor Republicans who would have been left without healthcare. Calling me names doesn’t change that fact. After 01012027, these poor Republican voters and their families will widely begin to discover that if they become sick and lose their job (or become sick between jobs) they are removed from Medicaid and the ACA state marketplaces unless they are totally disabled or meet the strict “frailty” requirements as a result of the GOP’s “big beautiful bill.” I predict that this will affect how they vote. Have a great day!
Defending the UCA is the act of a lying coward. Shall we discuss it in simple economic terms? The “genius” MIT “economist” Gruber had no idea how to gameplan an actual real world solution to under coverage in the healthcare market. Hence he created the clearly unconstitutional individual mandate, and even bragged about fooling the masses with his grandstanding. Ostensibly the individual mandate is intended to force younger healthier people to sign up for Odouchebag care, but the immutable realities of information asymmetry between insured and insurers led to the inevitable adverse selection collapsing of markets and skyrocketing costs accompanied by excess demand and insufficient supply. Shall I go on, genius? And please explain how Big Pharma, Big Medicine, and Big insurance saved lives in actual numerical terms? How many lives have been saved after the net effects of Covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates? Please show your work
Have a merry Christmas.

Ironically there are millions more God-fearing Christians in Africa than in Dark Continent – liberal, non-Spirit filled – Europe.
Maybe sending all the Islamics to Europe would provide a relief valve for the brothers and sisters.
Then the white people go to Africa and take the continent over. There are more riches in Africa than the EU.
The Christian resistance bloc of Rhodesia,South Africa, Belgian Congo, and Portugal was destroyed by the Globalist traitors of the West with their Communist terrorist subsidized allies from China,Soviet Union, and Cuba.
PM Harold Macmillan – Wind of Change Speech at the Cape Town Parliament – 3 February 1960
And this once again…
I love that one Bet. Ty dear.
I’m surprised it’s still viewable.
Yes….the world’s people have been spread out to reduce that sense of identity….
“Rivers Of Blood”. Read or listen to the entire speech, Powell was prescient.
Would love to know exactly from where those texts asking for prosecutions originated, Colkitto.
As for the far left lovey broadsheet, “The Grauniad”, as it was mockingly renamed in Blighty, they’ll never change…even as eventually everyone employed there will be ordered to drag out their prayer rugs.
It very much sickens me to write this, but…
RIP Ireland, existing now only in memory.
( Wales actually) British women warns America about Islam in the US
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AGB3N9N6hiE
What Plaid Cymru, the ruling party in Wales, has done…is doing…to that lovely country, Colkitto, is so shocking…
But here is their hypocrisy…
A resurgent (I’ll call it) Welsh “Intifada”….carried out then in the 80’s by a group known as “Sons of [Owain] Glyndwr”.. against the English, especially those who own second or holiday homes in Wales, has reappeared with a vengeance.
But unvetted, subhuman Muslims??
The men and women who sit in the Synedd (Welsh Parliament) can’t bow down fast enough.
Out English, Islam In.
The once idyllic smallish town of Llangollen where we worked and outside of which we lived, has become a repository for such invaders, transforming it out of all recognition. Would any tourist call it a Welsh town any longer?
Increasingly not.
My sister in law in her 80s now still lives there. My dear friend reports I wouldn’t know it. It will only get worse…
It’s too late for England, Wales, Scotland, N Ireland, and Ireland…all de facto under Sharia, also known by the politically correct name “Diversity”.
Thank you for the link. Islam has a toe hold in the US now and is carving it up into their Islamic fiefdoms bit by bit. She isn’t wrong.
Like it or not, one has to acknowledge their (Muslim) success. Again, like it or not, one has to acknowledge their (Christian) failure. No people committed and united would willingly give up and away their sovereignty to and by another people historically viewed as counterparts and non-aligned both socially and religiously.
Think about it – Ireland! Where brothers fought centuries long “wars” against each other just because cousin Mickey joined up with the Anglicans. (spit). So we have to ask – are the people of Ireland and GB in general so successfully “brainwashed” and propagandised that they willingly participate in their own demise?
If and it certainly appears so, are we blind to think the same will not be “applied” to every nation, until we are all just obedient soulless bodies? I think Islam has been chosen as “the” preferred religion as most if not all of its adherents obey without question. Dovetails nicely with what seems to be EU policy. Which, if we look a little closer is exactly what Klaus, WEF, UN, WHO, et al have been TELLING us for years now.
I agree, I believe they believe President Trump is just a bump in the road, (fine, gives us time to fine-tune the plan). Regrettably, and it is openly acknowledged President Trump IS the center of the MAGA universe – and that is the Achilles heel.
He’s having to fight wars of many descriptions on multiple fronts, Oldspeak. He’s having to put out fires set by demonic Democrats, many deliberately lit on their way out the door as well as in the four years they managed to steal. They had plenty of time to do so between Nov 4 and January 20.
(The constitutional time frame between election and inauguration set when there no planes, trains, or automobiles. In other countries, winners take power immediately. There is no two plus months for the loser to do their worst…and I see this as a huge problem for this country….Constitution or not.)
As I’ve always viewed it, the EU was simply the hors d’oeuvre for the main course of global governance, One World Government. Lies were told to the clueless voters as to the true intention of the EU’s architects, the project presented as a pretty package of peace and prosperity with promises of no political union or common defense. The fact that the EU would be governed by unelected officials was glossed over. But had those who enthusiastically gave their assent not been blinded by flowery phrases and promises which were never intended to be fulfilled, they might have been less willing to throw away their sovereignty so easily.
Of course those EU panjandrums were themselves globalists in EU skinsuits.
It is no surprise, or shouldn’t be, that as with the EU referendums when people were promised that one country voting “No” would sink the whole project…but didn’t (re-dos in two who so voted “No” were quickly arranged and turned into “Yes”), the same surely holds true for the ultimate ambition of a New World Order. And all that means.
A governing power here which will gleefully, speedily hand this country over to perpetual, suffering servitude by the Globalists who while silent for the moment have in no way given up.
Their demonic, godless construct will never come to pass if the US is not part of it. And while PresidentTrump knows this, so do those who wish to destroy the Republic (both RINO/Globalists and the Dems who hold no love of country, no patriotism).
That’s only one of the existential wars he is fighting, Islamization being another.
Europe and the UK have already capitulated, slow genocide is in place, and I’m certain President Trump understands only too well Euro and US globalists are undeterred in their endeavour to take out the one man who is, as you define him potentially, as the ” speed bump”. Communism and Islamism are two sides of the same sword being wielded.
Some, perhaps many, have noticed how fast both seem to be spreading everywhere, but especially within our own borders…
My long winded way of agreeing with you in full.
But especially your point about Christianity.
So again I turn to Solzhenitsyn’s wise realization on the human devastation which consumed his country. The terrible tragedies inflicted by the same minds working at this moment for the same purposes.
Nothing truly changes.
satan who doesn’t succeed at first simply withdraws, bides his time until history dulls in memory, waits for a void where Almighty God has been but is no longer…then tries, tries again.
I pray we start remembering…🙏🏻
“I have spent well-nigh fifty years working on the history of our Revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat:
Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”
(Apologies for the length of this post. Yours got me thinking…and sometimes I have no brake.)
Don’t forget or underestimate the part easily obtained welfare and other govt ‘dole’ played in this as passed, endorsed and practiced by the liberals in government, putting out a big carrot attracting immigration by these parties … also the well-meaning NGOs that in part received govt monies to import these people.
Brings a new meaning to the term “black Irish”.
Sundance, please discuss this 33 page document with the tribe. Everything is spelled out and I do hope PDJT is successful in this endeavor considering what he’s faced with inside, and out.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf
Interesting that Gen. Michael Flynn (Ret) wrote a 52 page response to the White House’s 33 page National Security Strategy document expounding on his (Flynn’s) idea of what President Trump should be doing regarding our nation’s security.
https://goldiis.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/f90b043c-6e5a-11f0-b985-0242ac110002-National_Security_Strategy.pdf
If you look at PDJT’s cabinet everyone is doing fantastic work supporting Trump’s agenda. The one flaw in his cabinet is the DOJ with Blondie, Cashew Nut and Bongo Man. He has to fix that ASAP or they could possible take him down. And I pray he fixes that soon.
What I find ironic, is we went from a Former AG Bill “Bondo” Barr to an actual named AG Pam “Bondi”. We then add to that, Counterfeit Kash and Dan “I miss my Rumble Channel” Bongino. Just sayin’
Bondi was terrible in that last Cabinet Meeting. It was embarrassing watching it.
I genuinely believe that Trump accepted Bondi and crew because he knew they were too incompetent to take him down.
Nah, good ol’ pharma lobbyist and colleague Susie Wiles gave us Blondi. It has been highlighted here numerous times about both being employed thru Ballard Partners. Blondi was actually a paid lobbyist for the country of Qatar…this should have been disqualifying from the beginning.
It is time for a Marshall Plan for the US. Europe can fend for itself. Start with a Nuremburg trial here to remove the corrupt traitors from our government at all levels and deport all illegals and cut off all welfare and make all re-apply to ensure compliance for citizen only and need only.
It is time to bring out the big guns. PDJT needs to tell EU and NATO “You are on your own.” From trying to kill the Russia/Ukraine deal, to fining us because we are not following their censorship rules, they have clearly demonstrated they are our enemies. Mr. President tell NATO “Goodbye!” Tell the EU the USA is not bound by your stupid rules. The USA has no true allies, just nations sucking money out of our coffers. We have to ask ourselves, why do we have to be kind to those who have been screwing us for decades? Pull out of the Russia/Ukraine discussions and let Russia end this mess.
It is time to stop pussy-footing and being polite.
Call the grifters’ grifters.
Call the liars, liars.
We don’t need them just like we don’t need Canada.
Tell them” The money tit is dry.”
GOD bless the USA,
GOD bless President Trump.
Bring our troops and military assets home and let them defend themselves.
Con-gress made sure President Trump or any other future president couldn’t pull us out of the treaty without their say so, but said nothing about him doing the above.
Can we do California? They institute all kinds of rules and regulations that have a negative impact on the entire country.
The fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union created the conditions which have born the fruit we see today in Eurostan. Feeling freed from the threat of the Red Menace removed, the Euroweenies relaxed their vigilance and that is what the True Believers took advantage of. They were already decades embedded in the universities and low level departments of government. But they rose as the Old Guard retired or died. Now, 35 years later, they are emboldened with the power of dogma, but the intellectual powers of children.
However, they do have the once sovereign nation’s of Europe dancing to the EU’s so-called Constitution, don’t they? They created a new Soviet right under the noses of those who allegedly cherish “western values.” Russia yells, “Boo,” at Ukraine and suddenly they cower in fear of the former KGB king.
We continue to support and engage in NATO when it is nothing more than a death warrant yet served. Europe will do anything to keep us in it, even to the point of starting and growing another war in Eastern Europe. We remain in NATO at our own risk. I for won’t stand for one American to die in defense of Communist Europe.
We need to get out sooner rather than later. I saw recently that a NATO admiral was proposing a preemptive attack on Russia. Total STUPIDITY! Russia has already demonstrated that it has a hypersonic, nuclear capable missile. Stay in NATO and kiss our asses goodbye.
We aren’t obligated to defend the Eurorats if they start a war, which why we need our troops and military assets pulled out now. We don’t want them caught up in a fight we didn’t start, and no reason to join.
A NATO admiral from that great contemporary naval nation…..Italy 😎
The Five eyes agreement should be terminated. All these countries we share intelligence with are our enemies now.
The other 4 eyes probably share the intelligence with the CCP!
“Evil people always support each other, it is their chief strength.”–Solzhenitsyn
Like Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train”, Five Eyes allows the Deep States to farm out their domestic spying crimes to each other, making it “legal”.

Mark Steyn wrote “America Alone” in 2006. We’re there.
Loved it when Steyn would guest host on Rush’s show. Wickedly funny and totally dedicated to truth telling.
Absolutely, to be trite, a must read..as well as his “After America” which folllowed.
There really is no reason politically to support the EU over having normalized relations with Russia. Unfortunately, the Trump admin is stuck in a Boomercon/Media hysterics bubble and doesn’t understand that younger voters don’t care either way.
The EU has blocked a Britain vote to exit the EU for 10 years.
The Brexit vote refers to the 2016 referendum in which the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, with 51.9% in favor of leaving and 48.1% wanting to remain. This decision initiated the process known as Brexit, leading to the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.
Trump has to give a major foreign policy speech that centers on the censorship conducted by former close allies such as Britain.
Brits are looking for help from anyone at this point and they say, “Wish WE had a Trump.”
The people of the UK need someone a level higher in the eyes of the world than Farage.
I would go a step further.
Our President should publicly state who our true friends are, and who our true enemies are, with no pretending whatsoever. Then take fierce, immediate action against our enemies. This should apply equally to friends and enemies here at home and abroad.
The result of such actions would reshape our world (and country) for the better.
YES…. and VSGPDJT should do it ASAP !!!!!
I’m an American and I wish each European nation had their own TRUMP. The whole world would be better off.
How on earth could you ever be friends with Europe an area of the plant that has caused so much death and destruction. All that has ever come out of Europe are psychopathic tyrants, whose goal is to rule the world. And then there is Britain, the biggest instigators of chaos. They use war to get other nations resources.
President Trumps position is absolutely correct (what have you actually done for me lately), besides stab me in the back!
Europe is part of the plant that should be pruned way back perhaps.
The Forefathers fled Europe for reasons such as you have mentioned. They wanted something better. I have always wondered why the US has remained staunch allies with those countries, particularly Britain, who tried desperately to keep the US under her thumb.
Long time US Foreign Service Officer; now retired; served all over the world and under all sorts of conditions. Convinced the State Department needs to be drastically slashed and reformed so that it will no longer pose a threat to the national interests of the United States.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, having always been a staunch supporter of NATO but this what I think now:
The U.S. created NATO to protect the liberty of west Europeans. Now that many European Nations have abandoned their desires for those liberties there is no reason for the U.S. to be in the Alliance.
Make mutual defense treaties with Poland and the various other countries like Poland that are aligned our values and let the west Europeans go their own ways.
Exactly. Let NATO go the way of USMCA
Guess which one is which! 😉
The EU, Canada, UK, France and Germany are not our siblings. Therefore, we have no responsibility to love them unconditionally … nor should we. When they go beyond mere disrespect and actively work against us, there should be meaningful consequences.
The CIA needs to leave Hungary, Poland, Romania and the rest of the conservative Eastern European countries alone. If they have nothing better to do than to launch color revolutions all across the globe, then they should start with the EU’s politburo, in Brussels. They have become a cancer upon the human condition, rather than a force for good and have outlived their usefulness.
The CIA is has already installed Globalist PM Tusk in Poland. Also a Globalist President in Romania.
Maybe we need to turn our efforts at solving this riddle internally. What is the root cause….? I would suggest gutting that building named Langley. Many of these problems go away. Bring the battle back CONUS……
We should have left NATO or abolished it long ago. That’s the issue today, all the Post WWII and Cold War institutions and customs continue to dictate how we are as a nation, internally and externally. I believe President Trump understands this.
What did US Dept of State say about the FULL BAN of Rumble in France? (that was imposed ~2023 due to Rumble giving Russian news a platform)
The EU has been sucking off our teat since the end of WW1. Time to cut the umbilical cord. Same for NATO and UN. All three are anti American.
since.. end of WW2…
Beneath the weight of monolithic laws, our MAGA voice is labeled and erased.
The global anthem drowns our cause, while truth is rewritten, scrubbed, replaced.
They preach of safety in the unified, yet shackle tongues that speak a separate view.
The veil of choice is slowly cast aside, to crush our thoughts and label us few.
One ring to rule the story they have forged, one script permitted on the center stage.
Dissent is branded “disinformation,” torched, a thoughtcrime banished from the digital age.
Protect the spark of every jagged thought, the ragged doubt, the question sharp as flint.
For if we trade them for the peace they’ve bought, we’ll wake in chains and wonder where it went.
Their empire rises on silence sold. Refuse to align. Speak loud. Stay uncontrolled.
Beautiful!!
Bravo 👏👏👏👏!!!
Rubio looks good here (and continues to impress) but Landau looks even better. America has the power to divest itself from the EU cabal, a move that would fatally weaken it. I can’t think of anything better for the citizens of European nations.
Democrat-run cities and states; Australia and Canada – are no different.
Get the hell out of NATO!
And get it the hell outta this country.
‘At a certain point it does become necessary to distinguish exactly what values, benefits, perspectives and priorities frame the positions that determine who our U.S. allies really are, and who should benefit from that relationship.’
According to some:
This is more window dressing.
The apparent global “allies” and “adversaries” are all working together behind the scenes steering all according to Plan leading to a “Multi-Polar Global Governance” (aka global interconnected inverted fascism / soft totalitarianism).
All share the same goals, and the US agency serving as veiled executive in this effort also has goals of maintaining its own power through this transition and beyond. It will function as a veiled quasi-satrap in the coming NWO, not a bad position given the alternatives.
Pay attention, the surveillance and control frameworks are being finalized as fundamentals leading to the next pivot are moving into place: Plandemic 2.0 / genetic bioweapon democide 2.0, and major war with a depleted US arsenal and hollowed-out industry and science vastly outmatched by industrial/science capacity of China/Russia according to CSIS and other think tanks. (Now we see one possible reason for depleting US weapons in Ukraine and middle east.)
The Trump admin is a participant in finalizing the surveillance and control systems, and theater like the J6 pipe bomber redux is part of a series of events contrived as pretext to step the US closer to totalitarianism, again, to be triggered by major war, biowarfare democide, or both.
The problem, as it pertains to our relationship with Europe, is that Europe is resetting (as in “the Great Reset”), and the U.S. is not, having gone into reactionary mode under Donald Trump [read: America First]. If the Biden/Harris regime had continued, as originally planned, this fine wouldn’t be an issue because it wouldn’t exist. Either Elon would have complied to meet communist EU dictates, or the Biden/Harris (or Harris/Waltz) regime would have concocted a reason to seize Twitter/X and as he speculated, Elon might have ended up in one of the regime’s compliance concentration camps.
Don’t fault the autocrats of the EU if they’re slow to respond to the new reality. Bureaucratic government sclerosis can be the worst kind.

the euew needs the money. green brains are strange.
For far(!) too long, the USA handed out “alliances” like candy. The beneficiaries acted entitled, and the USA never paid attention.
Call this: “America First.” If you are against us, then we are not for you. And now, for the first time in a hundred years, someone on this side IS now paying attention.
The EU and Canada has the same values, benefits, perspectives and priorities as the Democrat party which ruled the US for most of the 20th century. That includes lots of support for Cuba. The fines on the platforms are simply waysin part to help fund Democrat nefarious activities around the world and in the US. While there might be a Uni party of sorts, the Democrat party is its evil engine.
It’s hard to blame the eurotrash for viewing us as their bottomless well of financing and protection since we’ve done exactly that since at least 1945. Now that the Soviet threat is gone, they point to Russia and scream in hopes of triggering our reflex. Except that Daddy Trump isn’t listening anymore.
Hang a one-thousand-dollar “administrative fee” on every person from an EU country entering the U.S. and see how quickly that fine goes away.
Over!
Trump should just raise their tariffs and say they are not our allies.
Lengthy foreign entanglements, and towing NATO to the scrap yard, and distancing ourselves from the EU, and putting ursula and the rest of these people, UK especially, on notice that they have zero authority over americans, period, and if they want we can partition the internet and exclude european IP addresses from US-based online services like X, and have .us and .eu domains and they can just sort of figure things out from there, for and by themselves, without our money and support. Byeeeee
Easy trade…….you keep the $140million, we’ll keep the $billions allotted for your defense.
You should be able to fund your Armed Forces with that
Again….Rubio has turned out to be perhaps tne most effective appointment of Trump’s second term.
Which isn’t to say that Hegseth, Gabbard, Bessent, Noem, Holman, and some others haven’t been outstanding.
Bondi, Patel, and Ratcliffe have not, so far, demonstrated that they are committed to opposing tne Deep state and the globalists.
But the difference between Trump’s senior appointments this term vs his first term couldn’t be more stark.
Thankfully…..
There is no justified reason for NATO. It is a cold war relic that has outlived its usefulness. It seems to be nothing more than an overpriced entangling alliance to drag the U.S. into unwanted wars like Ukraine, while simultaneously subsidizing the leftist governments of the EU who are anathema to their own citizens and free people.
Most importantly, by its actions NATO shows itself to be an offensive alliance, specifically targeting Russia. You can see this from its “territorial ambitions.”
A defensive alliance would want space between itself and its opponent: other countries that the opponent would have to conquer first to reach them. Whereas, an offensive alliance would want to build up to its adversary’s borders on every side, so that it could attack from any angle while transporting across “friendly soil.” The latter is precisely what NATO is now doing, and Russia can “read them loud and clear.”
Immediately(!) after “V-E Day,” Churchill wanted to knife Stalin in the back using captured German equipment, in what he called, “Operation Unthinkable.” The conquest of USSR/Russia. Fortunately, wiser heads prevailed, and he was turned out of office. (For a time.) But, Europe has never forgotten this fantasy. They thought that they could “arm Ukraine to the teeth” and win Russia by proxy. Victoria Nuland published a map in which Russia was split into forty-odd little “rump countries,” each one given a name and a flag. They still lust for this.
The UK/Russia flap goes back much further, to when Catherine the Great turned down George III’s appeal to assist him in subduing us unruly colonists (one of the first nations to recognize the nascent USA was the Russian Empire). The British Empire has had a major weed up its ass vis a vis the land of the Czars for over 200 years.
Nailed it!!!
People need to remember virtually all EU countries have a had or continue to have a dictatorial form of government ingrained in their heritage, in their blood, in their genes. It is just going full cycle now as we come to the time they will fully embrace the coming New World Order. It is inevitable.
This is awesome to hear. It is stating the exact ideology and opinions I’ve been pondering for years. It’s common sense. It requires responsibility, accountability, reciprocity, consequences and fairness. No free rides. No abuse and thievery. United we stand.
