The credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize is seriously under question now with the latest recipient sycophantically "sharing" her peace prize with Trump , clearly with the intention of massaging his ego in the hope that he will put her in power in Venezuela.

This current White House administration is like an episode of South Park. It would be hilarious if it was not so serious.

Things are deteriorating on a daily basis.
Don't think there has ever been a more important midterm election in my lifetime. If the Democrats do make substantial gains, will the sitting President respect the results? If he rides roughshod over them what will happen then?

I'm not sure it would make any difference. I don't hear any of the "others, the radical, lunatic left wingers" coming out and saying they would undo say the annexation of Greenland.

Nobody ever asks what right does Denmark have to Greenland?
it's funny 'Europe' can't defend itself without help from America and NATO is nothing without the USA's military power, yet some European leaders think they can defend Greenland against America?
The way the Arctic is opening up for oil exploration etc and who knows what else lies under the Greenland ice, I'm sure the Americans and others know what mineral wealth is there an if they don't develop it the Chinese or Russians will likely be eyeing it up.
Never a dull day with President Trump anyway, I'd say he has some laugh at the likes of Starmer. He plays them like a fiddle.

Question to the floor.

Is there a concerned similarity between Mr. T's take on Greenland as of now, and Mr. P's take on the Eukrain of 2 years ago ish. Or is it just coincidental. ?
