The "deal" for the minerals is a non starter without security guarantees

Even then I wouldn't trust any security guarantee or indeed any document that is signed by Golden Cow, Rubio, Vance, Pisshead Hegseth or Witkoff. They made it very clear last week that they are all dishonest and incompetent.

The NNs claim to have taken the "town" of Szczerbaki. It's not a town, they haven't taken it.

Ukrainians remain in Kursk, despite Putler's victory lap on his fake ass visit there.

Good luck with the Congo - an absolute graveyard for any foreigners who try and intervene.

Nobody has given in to Golden cow so far - except for American pussy politicians and business men

Europe, Canada and z Mexico have pushed back

Even Poland told Rubio and Musk to FO

Putler has not budged a milimeter- in fact he keeps coming back with new demands

Even tiny Denmark won't roll over

What is he going to do to change that ? He's already established that he is a bluffer and a blow hard.

Britain is kind of bending over but they will have notices they get treated no better than Fran e and way worse than than NN

Politicians have also noted that standing up to the US is popular with their voters - so expect more of it. They will have also noticed that small countries like Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea were able to defy the US for years.

2022 was an absolute disaster for North Nigeria's attempts to project military power. 2025 has been an equal disaster for American diplomacy and soft power.

But so far the Canadians, Mexicans and Europeans haven't crumbled - in fact it has always been Golden Cow who has backed down. And the more he backs down the more damage it does to the US image. He will back down before April 2nd as well.

It's an interesting time - Golden Cow has made the Europeans take responsibility for their security and that's fair enough. But at the same time they and the Asians are wondering why the US should dominate other areas - trade, capital markets, banking, science even things like sport and culture will be affected

Your solutions - ban all foreign cars and get the federal govt to control car prices - are straight out of the PRL you left behind.

Anyway, enough about tariffs, which no Golden Cow voter understands. Rumor is that one of Putler's limos caught fire last night and he wants his secutiry detail changed (something else he has in common with Golden Cow)

And of course, they continue to attack civilians as they can make zero headway down in Pokrovsk

Have the NNs and the Chinese been threatening to invade Greenland ? I have missed that.

I am on the skeptical side - the NNs already have many millions of sqm of frozen tundra. The Chinese - not sure if they have ever sailed a ship or flown a plane into that area

But there are many non negotiables in life

Sovereignty is one of them.

Why Golden Cow thinks he can negotiate another country's sovereignty away is a mystery and needs a slightly deeper explanation than the fact that he lives somewhere in the East 60s.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 14 [502]

You mean lychees ?

Can't understand much of your post. The US idea is not to defend Greenland, but to colonize it

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 14 [502]

Nobody would prefer that

Greenland - like Denmark - is part of NATO, so theoretically covered by Article 5.

Your argument is that companies can only be defended if they submit to US colonialism?

I think after living there, working with them and marrying one I get the general idea

Their general negotiation style is aggressive bluffing and it's possible to outwit them by being well prepared and obstinate. Putler worked that out many years ago

You forgot the 3 biggest British inventions - all of which helped unify and modernize the world - the English language. railways and football

How does being a New Yorker qualify someone to solve a European war between Nazi drunks and the innocent invaded country ?

My ex is a New Yorker and she is the last person I would send to negotiate peace

Golden Cow had achieved nothing except a small prisoner swap and it's no wonder this bloated fool has now turned his attention to bullying Denmark rather than deal with an intransigent Putler (or, crazy idea, start to improve the US economy which was doing ok until he showed up).

Think he was just visiting a US base so they can't really stop him

Travel / About cars, electric and combustion in Poland. [125]

With cars it always was a level playing field - there were no tariffs in either direction and so it came down to consumer choice

American cars were not popular in crowded Europe and Asia - too big and too much fuel needed.

Of course the US looks weak now - they have been played very well by the NNs, and asking to be let back into Swift is a Lavrov masterstroke and it can only be done by involving the EU, who Golden Cow, Vance and all the other amateur hour crew have spent 2 months trying to insult.

However intelligent Vance is (and I read an enjoyed his book) his leadership and human skills are very poor. A lesson common to all European societies is that once you publicly humiliate someone, you can never ask for anything more from them again.

Same with tariffs, Greenland and Gaza - the US softpedals as soon as anyone sticks up to them.

I'm not sure how involved Golden Cow is now in day to day stuff BTW. Wouldn't be surprised if he retired this year.

Really surreal answers here

Can someone else take over from me ? I'm starting to doubt my sanity

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 20 [1532]

Here is a fact - no American ever died defending Poland

The whole Golden Cow thing about demanding gratitude is weakening America quickly.

As Maf points out, the so called talks have achieved nothing for Ukraine except a small prisoner swap

Both here and in Gaza, Golden Cow's intervention has made a bad situation worse. The reputation of the US is very low and getting worse because we can see his team are weak, with little experience in government and poor leadership skills

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 20 [1532]

No I don't think it was in defence of Poland - unless Patton and Eisenhower thought that delivering us to Stalin was for our own good.

Not a single US soldier died in combat in Polish soil.

Even by your standards it is one of the dumbest opinions I have heard.

BTW many Poles fought alongside US troops in Italy and Western Europe

Everything else in your post is incorrect too - as always. I simply can't be bothered to provide links on spending and military support for Ukraine

Home of democracy ? The US ? How's that working out

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 20 [1532]

Which American soldiers have died for Poland ? That is nuts.

How does Europe benefit the US as an ally - use of bases, sharing technology, sharing intelligence, logistics, providing troops to US missions, refuelling. If you mean military there are plenty of ways. if you mean as a political and democratic ally well there are hundreds of ways.

Europe has provided plenty of free money to Ukraine - as much as the US has. Both Macron and Starmer pointed this out publicly to Golden Cow.

Which Americans have sweated tears for Poland ? Or for Britain ? For Denmark ? For South Africa ?

I guess Golden Cow will lose interest in the negotiations soon. Putler has given him nothing, Zelensky won't do his dumb mineral deal and the longer it drags on the more time for each side to rearm.

I can't see Putler travelling but if he did I think there is every chance he will get the red carpet treatment

No idea why but Golden Cow seems determined to insult all his long standing allies, except Israel.

I doubt there will be many takers for a place on his chintzy sofa in Washington any more - the political risks are too high because he has a private meeting and then comes out with all kind of nonsense in public. Duda flew over and got 10 minutes of his time, presumably taking about Poland's lack of golf courses

As if Putler, a man afraid of his own people would go anywhere other than the end of a very long table

Golden Cow hasn't made any foreign trips since inauguration either. Don't blame him as Biden looked exhausted and confused after any long haul flight

Pussy Vance is still going to Greenland but now just to see some very cold air base - well done to Denmark for standing up to these immature morons

Its not silly - no Nigerian war crimes, and the fact that Putler is an indicted war criminal have not been mentioned during this fake ass peace process at all.

Instead, Golden Cow's pathetic, and ignorant representatives have characterized him as a reasonable man that they can do business with.

The "real people making deals". - a bunch of North Nigerian rapist murderers and thieves (drunk) and a bunch of American incompetents and lightweights who somehow have been given carte blanche to screw up existing bad global situations and also create a set of new ones.

In a big company then the following traits are highly valued - professionalism, scepticism, checking counterfactuals, sound contracting, clear communication, mitigating risks. None of these are in evidence at the moment, except from North Nigerian diplomats who are doing a fine job of achieving their country's awful ambitions (shame they are backed by a drunk, lazy, badly equipped, ignorant military)
