You mean other than him outing an US SSN lurking in Greenland’s territorial waters, and the Danish military coming to the recuse of one of the USN submariners? 🤦🏻 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/22/greenland-does-not-need-us-hospital-boat-sent-by-trump-says-denmark

That would be slightly less stupid than a Suwalki Thunder Run…but you never know.

Or maybe it will lead to some. Poland and Germany as discussing with France, whether you think they are justified in doing so or not. Others named also discussing with France, the only non-US beholden nuclear power in NATO. Totally up to them. They see Russia differently than you.

U.S. Wall Street investors are pivoting away from the U.S…$10B a week and increasing, to get better gains than they can in America… https://www.reuters.com/business/buy-america-bye-america-wall-street-exodus-gathers-pace-2026-02-20/ Between the softening USD, America’s worsening trade deficit...

Lived, laughed and…well, not the loved part with TBS…

Sure, whatever… 😉

Yup. PM (or PMO of days past) tells TB President who guides Board and ensures the enforcers (TBS) keep all departments involved in line. DND is just one of the *line departments presenting major caps to the Board (through the Secretariat). Every department seeks the Holy Grail to its...

Foreign Preferred rate (Russia, Israel, Board of Peace members, et al) or Foreign Nasty Nations?

Yes, I agree the Europe must now act with no expectation of US substantive support.

Drones into Poland, Romania, Estonia, etc. nATO nations’ undersea cables cut. Sure. Defensive only. Check.

Alberta getting a Cabinet Minister would be an interesting development.

Ukraine situation doesn’t affect NATO. Check.

Other than Harper lying and breaking his Alliance-PC merger bargain with MacKay, but it didn’t have overt money in Harper’s pocket so some people excuse him for it. Ford pushed some shady stuff especially with the greenbelt construction stuff, but as @Furniture noted, he reads the room when...

Sweden (#32) and Finland (#31) yes, but not the large post-Perestroika expansion (from 16 to 30 countries) that Russia claims the US agreed not to pursue.

So America should get a bye for having been the leader of the NATO expansion?

Looks like the U.S. does need Europeans (or at least the UK) to be able to reach out to its other theatres. But Trump, Vance, Rubio, Miller, et al will tell Europe that America is there to protect, not use…...

They played well and should be proud! 🫡

Hybrid warfare against numerous NATO nations for years. If you’re okay with the metric that there are no little green men in any current NATO nations, that’s your prerogative. Separately, looks like a France isn’t having EC’s take on Trump’s Board of Peace...
