2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

[The Bread Guy]

Let's wait and see. You're being too quick to dismiss the outcome that hasn't happened yet.

You mean give him the same leeway & benefit of the doubt you give Carney & Co.?

You could look at that a few ways. The LPC party has been in power for 11 years. PMMC is a new leader. There is a well documented LPC track record of dithering.

Comparatively, Trump is not "new", but he's only one year into this term after a big loss. It is his last term. His party is temporarily in control. He has a track record of aggressively (maliciously?) pursuing his aims.

No, not the same.

I hate to break it to you but that is only justification for the US doing what it's doing.

I managed to get about two thirds of the way through it. Did Trump get as much applause as Carney got for his speech?

Not sure it serves America other than to reveal true allies or those wearing a mask looking for any reason to slip into bed with authoritarian regimes like the CCP.

Given America does more trade with China than we do, wouldn't slipping into bed with China also be slipping into bed with America? Or is America's trade magically different from our because reasons?

I'm guessing you missed the last of Carney's speech where he talked about doing business with people we dont necessarily like, because it's good for Canada. The exact same approach America has been taking with trade since at least 1945.

I don't have to like or agree with Bob across the street, but if he wants to buy tomatoes from my garden at fair prices, I'll sell them to him. The same applies to countries. America doesn't particularly like Saudi Arabia, but as long as the Saudis keep the peace and buy American kit, America plays ball with them.
