What possible legitimate beef could any European have with Musk? DOGE activity has nothing to do with you

Because they are leftist/socialist, and they do what the hive mind tells them to do.

You do know that Musk is more than Doge right?

Not like he became involved in German far right politics or claimed England is about to have a civil war.

Surely that news might have made its way onto at least American short wave radio.

I guess you will have to take my word for it that things happen outside the USA. Your map probably say “ there be dragons” before it gets to Europe.

Well @Brent in Az not going to be a quick fix to the problems a lot of companies have ...including in the USA unfortunately.....

Mmm....England/UK about to have a civil war....a civil war I thought was two sides of the same country fighting each other.....ie usa civil war....Cromwells bunch against the royalists.....not the case...it would be English.. Welsh...Scots and of course the Irish fighting a bunch of basically invaders...simple

if you insist spike , your not going to get me to agree with you on the fish thing though when a recipe starts with “age fish” hard pass on my part.

Had an English neighbour down the road a piece who unfortunately has now passed on, he played a lot of cribbage with father over tea in the morning. He come in one morning through the kitchen and I had four dishes set out I was dividing haddock fillets into. The fillets in question had been forgotten on the back of my truck overnight after a trip longlining and were vile dripping slime. The old gentleman god bless his soul looked aghast and said what are you doing!! All that’s wrong with that fish is that you haven’t aged it long enough to develop flavour. The dishes in question? They were for my hounds…

To be fair most of the fish I eat was swimming less that 24 hours ago so I’m probably biased.

I mentioned awhile back that the tariff deals should be worked out in 3-4 months.
There will be short term financial pains, with a possible mild recession in the process. The long term gains should be worth the political and financial quagmire that everyone has to wade thru at the moment.
As long as a democrat doesn't get elected in 2028, and destroys everything Trump has accomplished, we should expect a very robust economy moving forward.

But that is just an opinion coming out of my tiny low IQ mind.

Not sure what you mean getting you to agree....was trumping your french and German items....Aged fish...to be blunt fk that...I come from a small island where I could eat fresh fish and shellfish for breakfast..lunch and dinner if I had wanted.....and as you do don't because you take it for granted...but still ate a shit load...and in heaven when I go back....

@Tubby’s Canteen , agree 100% on the freshness of fish. If I didn’t catch it today or yesterday I don’t eat it unless it’s something I can’t get around here, mainly salmon. I’ve seen people dry aging fish but I can’t wrap my simple mind around that.

Back to the political thread. I was taught a civil war is two factions fighting for control of an existing government, communism vs capitalism as an example, fought mostly by people of the same country. Many of the African bush wars are prime examples.
The US “civil war” was fought by a group of states trying to leave an existing government. More of a war of independence.
No matter what it’s called a lot of people’s will die.

Doesn't China have a history of not honoring trade agreements?

I don’t think any government is clean on honoring treaties or agreements .
