#1 "We Europeans truly have to take our fate into our own hands,"

Yea, but you still have France.

#2 She looks more isolated as time goes by. Go it alone is her undoing. It seems the Germans love her. That they and she are the only game in town. In my opinion, as she undoes her culture Germans will pine away their loss. I see no good outcome in her efforts. She has a distinct dislike with alpha males (Putin, Trump). The new leader of France is the only type male she can tolerate.

#4 The asylum has been very quiet since the inmates took over.

#5 'Americans won't do what we want them to do.' Stump, stump, stump. Happens when you want to be 'equals' but depend on adults to provide you security for generations. Time to close the Trust Fund and let them go their own way.

#7 The Eurines have always considered themselves superior in every way. They have not walked the walk in a long time, but man do they talk the talk. By the time they find out that a decrepit old culture using a walker can't outrun a steamroller going 5 MPH, it will be waaaaay too late...

#9 Handing Trump another card in the emergence of the new American nationalism as foreign policy. We need to rebuild more industrial base and revive agricture in California and the SouthEast. Build the wall and severely restrict immigration to those who actually add value. Guest workers with decent treatment and prepaid return tickets. Storms are fast approaching across both ponds. Wake up, we can't afford to pretend we we're are rich as we used to be before we spent it all thinking free trade works because the other guys would play fair. We need to become a Hemispheric power, a new Monroe Doctrine, backed by a military able to make it stick. Let the other guys face what they think they can contain. We can buy enough time for the results they are going to get to come off the rails.

#11 Please post a website where we can tell Trump to get out of the Paris Accord. At the least present it to the Senate and demand that they vote on the "Treaty". I would prefer the first option as the Senate is filled with crooked money grabbers.

#14 Thus speaks 'Red Kasner's' daughter 'Red Angela Merkel.'

It is interesting to note that hatred for Western civilization, totalitarianism and theocracy are dominant themes in the political/philosophical biographies of three nominally Western politicians: Merkel, Obama and Erdogan.

If there was at least an informal alliance of these three committed to doing harm to the West what would be different?

#15 "No longer reliable?" From Vietnam to red lines in Syria. . . Our reliability seems to depend on who got elected last week.
