No wonder that Patriot interceptors are in such short supply if over a hundred of them are expended on a single Iranian attack https://bsky.app/profile/volberg.bsky.social/post/3mv36eg2k7c2a

I think that Trump has made it pretty clear that he/the US has stepped away from that position.

Some of his speeches makes it feel like his not fully there, all that rambling etc...and then there is the nodding of in meetings. Perhaps it is as simple as dementia, and that is in this case perhaps no restrains and attempts to cover it up as it has been suggested that it was with Biden. I...

His actions lately does really make it look like he doesnt care about the midterms at all.

Perhaps its because of this: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116769142648175922 apparently Trump is the greatest conqueror in history:ROFLMAO:

I guess it might be the only way for Trump to get an aircraft carrier named after himself...he doesnt seem to care about optics in anything he does... https://edition.cnn.com/2026/08/20/politics/navy-weighs-renaming-carrier-black-war-hero-to-trump

My custom rifle has the Recknagel swing mount on it, more specific the Eramatic H7 variant, it seems to hold zero very well judging from practical tests on the range. I believe for example Rigby is using a similar variant on their bolt action rifles. It is also quite discrete, both on the scope...

Trumps second administration does not strike me as an isolationist, far from it. However it did really sounded like he would be an isolationist when he ran though, I bet their are a lot of countries in the world who wished he would have stayed true to those statements instead.

Where are they made if not in England?

That would be some compensation:love:

If Financial Times is to be believed the USA is now an oligarchy https://www.ft.com/content/2472ef5a-798d-4e7b-b4be-020855cf387e?syn-25a6b1a6=1 unfortunately behind paywall I should add.

Isnt it in Starship Troopers that service (in the military) equals citizenship? I guess that would not work for any western democracy (since most of its inhabitants probably allready are citizens), but adjusting it so you have to pay taxes in order to vote should not be so problematic. But I...

I just realized I forgot to add pictures, anyway I went with a little of a less is more approach. Not full cover engraving but instead a little engraving on all metal parts, also no game scenes to make it less of an Africa only rifle. Of course one can hunt anywhere with a rifle even if it has a...

I went with engraving and coin finish on mine.

Isnt Center for Strategic & International Studies to be believed either then? I thought they were more serious then MSM at least. It looks like there might be a real shortage, and long procurement times if CSIS is to be believed, even if it does not looks nearly as severe as media would have us...

I ordered it from a german engraver named Manfred Fleischer who did all of the engraving, unfortunately I did not got any information about who did the gunsmith work. The end result turned out great I think.

I would think that it is because the stockpile of stand-off weapons was so diminished by the previous around the clock sorties earlier this year: https://www.csis.org/analysis/last-rounds-status-key-munitions-iran-war-ceasefire

Isnt FIFA and corruption synonymous?

Thanks, did not thought about that way to get the information :giggle: Apparently a lot more wins then media would seem to indicate when just reading headlines. A bit weird that Copilot failed to include the tariff ruling, I thought that was a major loss? Had Copilot make a summary, just...

Just out of curiosity what areas have the Trump administration made significant progress in? Here in Europe all one hears about is everything that is held up in court, but I guess that there is a lot that is actually implemented aswell?

Cant water be wasted in the sense that it is used in a way that makes it polluted and thus rendered unusable for drinking?

I have none on my ignore list, It just makes the thread hard to read in my opinion...however I must confess I have a few that I simply just scroll by instead of reading or engaging with ;)

Allready cancelled it would seem: https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/us-iran-war-trump-israel-june-11

Yes it would seem like the US-Iran war has resulted in stronger Iranian controll over the strait. Wonder if Trump will let them keep control and right to collect fees for transit through a treaty as the Iranians seem to think.

I think that this part is the problem, ie whats perhaps is creating the image of a possible conflict of interest for the public: nor can the IRS ever pursue any of them for anything related to past taxes ever again

Okay, then I missunderstood, I thought they settled outside court and therefore no judicial branch involved and thus creating the impression for the public that it was a case of a settlement between Trump and the Trump appointed IRS commissioner.

I was also under the impression that the IRS is part of the executive branch since its part of the Department of the treasury which is run by the Secretary of the treasury which is a member of the cabinet and is appointed by the president? Is not the IRS Commissioner also appointed by the...

It seems that aid covered by the bills signed into law under Biden still might have been sent under 2025 and 2026, but apparently no new aid has been approved since Trumps inaguration. Unless of course one counts Trumps permission for the other Nato allies to buy US defense equipment and send...

Using Shemagh were quite common by us swedes when deployed in Afghanistan, if memory serves they were used by a lot of other nations forces there aswell. More for the function in the climate then anything else though.

They even seem to be outperforming the god-president himself: https://www.newsweek.com/democrats-overperform-by-double-digits-in-two-trump-districts-11697167 probably a "libtard" source but I assume that they are using real numbers anyway:)

Like I wrote "I just found this on Facebook, dont know if the numbers are true". From reading here I allready know that the US is superior to the rest of the world in every way so I assumed these numbers were not correct ;)

I just found this on Facebook, dont know if the numbers are true, but if they are correct it would seem to be at least some US citizens that are not so much richer or happier the average citizen of EU or Canada.

Yes, it would probably be more effective if the EU would present Trump with a personal "gift" similar to what Qatar did with that airplane, but unfortunately I dont think that the EU will do that.

For starters Trump might consider to reinstate the oil sanctions on Russia which he lifted recently. By now Ukraine has destroyed so much of the russian oil infrastructure that the damage done by Trumps lifting of those sanctions probably is not so severe any longer but it might still send a...

Its impressive that the iranians are still capable of boarding ships after Trump and Hegseth repeatedly claimed that all iranian vessels both in air and on water has been completly destroyed.

This sounds interesting, apparently there is now a naughty and nice list of Nato allies in the White House...wonder what gifts Santa Trump will bring to those on the nice list?:unsure: https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/22/trump-nato-allies-consequences-list-00883619

I did not said that I personally think that the US is more dangerous then China for Europe, it was more intended like a discussion starter, my point was more that if China attacked Taiwan then european opinion would most likely turn against China and be more pro-US despite Trumps actions. And...

I think that Nato will answer if Russia attacks since their attack is most likely to happen within the parts of the world that is included in the treaty. If China attacks I have a feeling that it will be in the Pacific or in the Indian Ocean and therefore outside the parts covered by the treaty...

Yes, most of it is really sad reading, both the fact that many europeans seems to think the US is more dangerous then China and of course also the part about poor defense will or what to call it.

I got that, I tried to be ironic but its always hard when not face to face, anyway thats why I used the: ;) -smiley.

I assume that when you write "that is already owned" you are referring to owned by Denmark? It would seem to be the result of the treaty signed by the US and Denmark (Convention between the United States and Denmark for cession of the Danish West Indies)...

If China makes a move against Taiwan I have a feeling that the numbers in this recent article from Politico might change: https://www.politico.eu/article/poll-eu-countries-us-bigger-threat-than-china/ I assume the numbers in the chart above are a result of the US behavior under the present...

Wonder if China will seize the opportunity? https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/21/politics/us-military-missile-stockpile

Thats probably true and unfortunately I dont see the other allies leaving Nato on their own. It was unfortunate that congress implemented those safeguards preventing Trump to leave Nato without also making sure he would have to actually support the alliance. It is also sad that Rubio was so...

Since Trump by now has made sure that any potential adversary knows that its unlikely that he would order the US to assist other Nato allies it would be better if he simply left. Obviously it would not make Europe stronger, but on the other hand it would not make us weaker either due to the...

Lets hope he leaves Nato now then instead of just talking about it. It would probably be better for everyone if he just got it done instead of just keep undermining whatever remains of the detterence of the alliance.

Of course I am not naive, I believe every word Trump says, Like it's gospel ;)

At least now CNN will probably turn into Foxnews aswell, I assume that CNN is one of the 3 FREE networks? It sounds a bit like Ellison has promised to make it so in order to get Trumps approval for the deal. I have seen multiple articles saying that Trump has publicly stated that “it’s...

Actually to some degree Trump has behaved a little like your 5 year might have, or at least mine does that sometimes, ie going back and forth changing his/her mind;) For example, just over three days in march is was like this: March 14: Wants allied/naval help Trump said: "Hopefully China...

I have seen quite a few posts on Facebook referring to the campaign as "Operation Epstein Fury"...but not in MSM, I would think that their are easier and cheaper ways of diverting attention from the Epstein files then to start a war, at least I hope that he did not start this war for that reason.
