Trump, a man without any commendable history, is now increasingly showing signs of self-delusion and insanity. At this rate, not only might he not finish his full term as President of the USA, he also might not even last thru the entirety of this new year. There is the increasing possibility of his impeachment for crimes against the USA Constitution or worsening physical and mental health. And there is the possibility of sudden demise.

In the EU, only France has her own nuclear weapons. The French, I am told, also invented cunnilingus.

AI Overview
To improve tongue control for cunnilingus, practice exercises that build strength, dexterity, and stamina, like sticking your tongue out far and holding, moving it side-to-side, tracing lips/palate, resisting with your finger/spoon (pushing tongue out/up/sideways), and curling the tip back, focusing on slow, controlled movements for stamina and range, often using a mirror for feedback.
Tongue Strength & Stamina
Tongue Protrusion: Stick tongue out as far as possible, hold 5s, pull in (repeat 10x).
Tongue Elevation/Depression: Touch tongue tip to nose, then chin, holding each briefly, repeat.
Tongue Resistance: Push tongue tip against a spoon/finger (or cheek) for 5s in different directions (forward, up, side).
Tongue Push-Ups: Press tongue tip to roof of mouth (behind teeth), hold, then relax.
Tongue Dexterity & Range of Motion
Tongue Side-to-Side: Stick tongue out, move tip to corners of mouth, hold briefly.
Tongue Circles: Move tongue in circles around lips or along palate, as if cleaning peanut butter off gums, 5-10 times each way.
Tongue Curling: Curl tongue tip backward as far as possible.
Lip Licking: Lick upper and lower lips with tip of tongue.
How to Practice
Use a Mirror: Monitor your tongue's movement.
Start Slow: Focus on control before speed.
Breathe: Keep shoulders relaxed and breathe normally.
Consistency: Short, regular sessions are effective.

The French kicked the US out of France in 1967 and there are no US military bases in France to this day. There are, however, 40 such bases in other EU countries, with anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 troops stationed there, over the years.

Can you think of any reasons why the US would want to maintain all those bases?

AI overview
When French President Charles de Gaulle asked the U.S. to remove its military bases in 1966, France withdrew from NATO's integrated military command to assert strategic independence, leading to the relocation of about 70,000 U.S. troops, their families, and massive supplies from France, primarily to Germany and Belgium, marking a significant shift in Cold War European defense, though France remained a political member of NATO.

De Gaulle's Reasons:
Strategic Independence: De Gaulle sought to free France from U.S. influence and build an independent French foreign policy, including its own nuclear deterrent (the "force de frappe").

Vietnam War: He strongly opposed the U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
NATO's Structure: De Gaulle felt the U.S. dominated NATO and its military structure limited French sovereignty.

The U.S. Response & Relocation:
Massive Undertaking: The U.S. initiated a massive logistical operation to move thousands of soldiers, families, equipment, and supplies, calling it the largest peacetime military transport ever.
New Headquarters: NATO's military headquarters was moved from Paris to Brussels, Belgium.
New Locations: U.S. forces and facilities were moved to other European countries, notably Germany and Belgium.

Aftermath:
Alliance Remained: France stayed a member of NATO's political alliance but not its integrated military command, a situation that lasted until President Sarkozy rejoined the military command in 2009.
Shift in Power Dynamics: The move fundamentally altered NATO's command structure and French-American relations, though France still pledged support for NATO's defense

EU trade ‘bazooka’ back on the table, as Greenland tariff threat blows up US deal
French President Emmanuel Macron will ask the EU to activate its Anti-Coercion Instrument if new US tariffs materialise

Fresh US tariff threats have thrown EU-US trade relations back into chaos – reigniting calls in Brussels for retaliation and jeopardising last summer’s pact with Washington.
In a déjà vu moment from last year, when Brussels scrambled to salvage a deal as the White House repeatedly floated tariffs of up to 30% on EU products, the bloc is now looking at new duties of up to 25% targeted at eight countries that deployed troops to Greenland.
It remains unclear whether the new tariffs would stack on top of the existing 15% levy on most EU goods. Steel and aluminium already face duties of up to 50%. But senior voices across the bloc are already pushing for a hard response.
An Élysée spokesperson said on Sunday that President Emmanuel Macron will ask the EU to activate its Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI) – dubbed the bloc’s trade “bazooka” – if new US tariffs materialise.
A similar message came from Valérie Hayer, leader of the European Parliament’s centrist Renew group, in a letter sent to Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday afternoon. “The EU Anti-Coercion Instrument should be actively prepared, as it was designed precisely to respond to situations of economic intimidation of this nature,” the letter reads.
German MEP Bernd Lange, chair of the Parliament’s trade committee, told Euractiv that the ACI was designed for precisely this scenario: when the US uses trade “as an instrument for political pressure”.
“This is exactly what ACI was created for,” he added.
EU ambassadors are meeting at 17:00 on Sunday to discuss the next steps on US trade relations.

Jan 18, 2026 11:07am — Edited

But here’s the good bit :

Ladies and Gentlemen please be seated ; the show is about to start .

The “bazooka”

The ACI entered into force in 2023 but has never been used. It is Brussels’ most powerful trade weapon as it allows the Commission to target not only goods, but also services.
The instrument provides for sweeping countermeasures, including investment restrictions, withdrawal of intellectual property protections, suspension of company licences and bans on access to EU public procurement.
Triggering it requires support from a qualified majority of EU member states – 15 of the bloc’s 27 countries, representing at least 65% of the EU population.
Still, deploying the bazooka is no quick hit. It starts with a Commission investigation to determine whether coercion has taken place, followed by a member-state vote on the findings and negotiations with the coercing party – a process that can stretch up to a year.
Last year, some countries, including France, hinted at using the ACI as leverage in talks with Washington. But its formal triggering never moved beyond internal discussion.
Now, former top officials are openly urging action.
“If not now, when?” said Paolo Gentiloni – the EU’s economy commissioner from 2019 to 2024 – arguing for the ACI to be triggered against the US.
Former Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström also slammed the escalation, saying tariff threats are “getting ridiculous” and pointing to “counter measures, anti-coercion and other tools to use.”
“Greenland is not for sale,” she added.
EU-US trade deal in limbo
The escalation of threats is also derailing the political foundations of the EU-US tariff deal, agreed last summer in Turnberry, Scotland, with the European Parliament signalling it is ready to block ratification.
In a show of force from an institution often sidelined in foreign affairs, Parliament has now warned it will not proceed.
“Yesterday’s announcement by President Trump to introduce additional tariffs on European countries, because of Greenland, means we will not ratify last year’s EU-US trade agreement,” said EPP vice-president Siegfried Mureșan on Sunday, echoing his group leader Manfred Weber’s Saturday remarks.
The Romanian MEP added that the three largest pro-European groups – the EPP, S&D and Renew groups – are aligned on freezing any ratification steps. “The European Parliament matters,” Mureșan said.
On the far-right, Patriots for Europe leader Jordan Bardella has likewise called for the suspension of the trade framework agreed in Turnberry.
But US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Saturday warned that the EU should separate the EU-US trade agreement from the new tariff threats linked to Greenland.
“If I were the Europeans, I would probably try to silo this off if they can. If they want to make it an issue in the trade deal, that’s really up to them and not us,” Greer was quoted as saying.
Greer also argued that the EU has yet to deliver its side of the July deal – including lowering tariffs on US industrial and agricultural exports – as Washington maintains its 15% blanket tariff on EU goods.
During a visit to Brussels in November, Greer warned that Washington would not consider tariff exemptions for European exports – with steel as a priority for Brussels, but also wine and spirits – unless the EU implements the agreement.

China and Russia are not Europe's enemies, they are America's enemies. There is a similar thing that we can also agree on that Iran and Palestine are not America's enemies, they are Israel's enemies. So with that in mind, what should Europe do about American aggression? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. America has clearly become Europe's enemy, so what i see in future if European leaders get some balls is that Europe will combine with China and Russia to tame American globalist tyranny. The only reason that Britain and France are supporting Ukraine is because they can profit from its natural resources once the country is in deep debt and cant get itself out of that fix. What is happening to Ukraine is what has happened to every country that chose to allow the West to meddle in their politics.

Total population of EU is almost 30% more than the population of the US. The military spending of the US is 2.5 times that of the EU. For NATO to be actually fair, the EU needs to spend almost 300% more on their militaries. So who exactly loses if NATO falls apart?

How many nuclear weapons do Russia and China have and how exactly does the EU defend against that as they become active enemies of the US?

Trump’s strategy this weekend is obviously misguided, there was a much better way to go about this. However, the EU needs to stop and think how exactly they are going to defend themselves by themselves with limited and outdated militaries and very constrained access to energy? Seriously, how does the EU survive with the US, China, and Russia as enemies?

Normally this would be correct. But with Trump it’s self destruction at best.

You push Trump he comes back twice as hard regardless of the consequences. There is not a single political leader in the EU who is like that or understands it. Trump would be only too happy to destroy NATO and cut off most trade and commerce with Europe. He will also get any countries he can to shut off energy exports to Europe. He won’t fight fair or care what the end consequence are. That’s extremely dangerous for the EU, it isn’t self sufficient enough to withstand a war.

What happens to the EU budget when they can’t get enough energy and have to come up with multiple trillions in military spending? What super powers is going to come to the defense of the EU? The only choice is to agree to sell or long term full lease of Greenland. I’m sorry but it’s simply illogical to destroy the EU for an ice island.

The whole thing is just a game to get Europe (more precisely, Denmark) to come up with an offer - let's mine, we will participate financially in the mining and provide the infrastructure for it. If Trump had said this without previous threats and the threat of tariffs, it would have been more expensive for him and at the same time he would have had to add infrastructure construction, etc. for Denmark. It's not about security, it's just Trump's justification for a later court, which will decide on his tariffs.

Look up the history of China vs Australia. Australia has zero real defense capabilities, China could take it in a matter of days. Once the US takes Greenland, buys it takes it etc, and Russia keeps what it took from Ukraine, what’s next? Taiwan seems the obvious choice. China is not going to sit back and do nothing for themselves after Ukraine, Venezuela, Greenland etc.

What’s the theme? Super powers are not limited by open border idiot woke liberals in Europe. The only safe place to be is in one of the super powers, and that is certainly not the EU, Canada, or Australia. EU citizens are incapable of not being ego maniacs, posts here prove that. So they can’t admit they are trying to play on a global stage without any real cards. The super powers aren’t actually going after each other, that’s a losing game. But all non super powers should be scared of the future.

SPX had room to 6720 without doing any damage. Pre market indicators showing less than 1% down which is nothing considering the possible fallout (good tv show by the way).

Normally we would fall in the 3 to 5% range over something like this while people take a wait and see mode. Only real damage is if we close under 6500 SPX.

One side or the other has to back down on this issue, the markets will assume someone will back down to get a deal unless actually proven otherwise. SPX option vol has been way too low for too long, but it’s time to give option sellers a little lesson.

A growing trade war between USA and EU is not good for both. So stock indices will tank on both sides.
Second if this behavior is allowed or legitim seen who can stop China from take over of Taiwan ? Then the real salad begins, because USA do not want to get in war with China, they are too powerful already. That would mean a big war. And then all the tech oligarchs in USA will fear because of Taiwan Semiconductors Company. Who is delivering the Chips to USA when China can control it ? That is the next logical step if USA takes control over Oil on Venezuela and probably Iran soon too and force Denmark to sell Greenland. It is only a small step that China could argue similar on any "safety" reasons to purchase or capture Taiwan. That is the bigger threat behind. But a real trade war between USA and EU is already a trigger for a bigger correction or even bear market in the US stocks indices. Then the only hope is of a TACO move.

The Trump family motto must be "Shit on your neighbour". Just maybe after years of Europe being happy to stand by & let the US fund it's defence it will have to learn to defend itself, or accept the consequences. One is the immediate consequences is your "friend" not only can take whatever it wants from you, but looks as though that's exactly what they will do. If the US wanted to "own" Greenland it could do so in a few hours. Should be a lot easier for them than taking control of Korea or Vietnam was. Looks like what was a relatively stable world is due a major re-shaping. I wonder if the late 1920s depression will be mirrored in the 100 year cycle. Going to be a real shit show for the remainder of Trump tenure of office..........unless of course he declares himself Emperor in which case it could go on for longer. Not much we can do accept trade accordingly. Last one out please turn off the lights.
