    Many Britons have not forgotten that Obama and Clinton threatened the UK regarding trade deals. Trump has consistently said we will get at the front of the queue after Brexit.

    I'd like to see global travel made simpler, and less expensive as well. When we stay insular within our own borders we miss so much. Plus being exposed to other cultures makes us less likely to fear and dislike them. I have not heard of any calls to remove sovereignty from the U.S. or elsewhere. Have you?

    It is almost hilarious how he immediately drops his head and shoulders when walking among his "betters" such as Putin. He is the utter definition of kowtowing.
    Great observation. Reminds of a big dog who thinks he's king. Then while walking one day with his person, they encounter a smaller but really tough macho dog. The big dog immediately shrinks and shrivels and crouches down to show submission.

    yes I have. many maintain we don't have the right to secure our borders, or its wrong, or impossible or whatever new nutjob lunacy.

    too much immigration suppresses wages too. ... a fact.

    your ease of travel concerns highlight how out of touch your are, btw.

    And yet a large majority have no confidence in Trump to do the right thing in world affairs:



    How can that be explained? Is it all down to globalist propaganda as some of your colleagues say? If so, whoever is behind it is doing a world-class job!

    the eu is falling apart. the new world order is failing, as bad ideas often do.

    I have given up on the EU, but not because it is part of a mythical "new world order". My concerns are:

    1. EU governance is paternalist and undemocratic. The European Commission is not elected but appointed by horse-trading among member governments (naturally the most powerful ones have the biggest say). The European Parliament is a farce. Most people don't know who their MEP is, and they don't care either, because the Parliament has never exercised any authority.

    2. EU economic arrangements, especially the one-size-fits-all euro, have failed all except the richest members. Some Mediterranean states have been turned into economic basket cases with stagnating economies and massive unemployment especially among the young.

    And nobody is doing anything to address these issues. To the ideologues who run it, THE PROJECT is far more important than the people.

    Americans wouldn't put up with that for five minutes. But they expect Europeans to?

    the eu is a bad idea that stands poorly on it's own. that's true. but it is part of an even greater bad idea, a new world order.

    The New World Order first attained mythic prominence after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when Birchites and the like suddenly found themselves without a boogeyman. That was when they discovered it wasn't Communism as such that was the menace, it was the New World Order!

    Bush 41 helpfully mentioned the NWO in a speech, but he certainly didn't mean what the Birchites meant by it. That didn't stop them latching on to it. Gorbachev mentioned it too, but he said they had failed to achieve it in the 1990s. Obviously he was covering up.

    The New World Order is all things to all people.

    Sailor, sailor sailor, you should take a break. The us, in case you do not know it, has by far the biggest economy in the NATO countries. That is why are the biggest financial contributor. Do you think it would be fair for our contributions to be the same as Montenegros? Do tyou realize that NATO was designed as a wall aaginst Russian aggression. Can you figure out which nations would pay the price if they attacked.? Do you simply ignore the cost and problems of being on the front line?
    You are among the dumbest rightys on this board.

    The John Birch society was founded by the Koch brothers father. They renamed it Fox Gnus.

    For the "dumbest" righty on this board I sure whip you like a puppy with facts. Other than your usual blather how about some facts and figures? From your own mouth. And why are you changing your story? The biggest financial contributor? You made the statement there is no "pot" everyone puts into. Once again, as I keep saying correctly, you are dumb as fuck. You know nothing. Just a parrot for left wing talking points.

    Take the time to prove me wrong.
