And of course we already have people eager to pray for communion with The Donald and let him off the hook for being Putin's sock puppet if not outright colluding with Russia in the campaign over the trade war with China.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

For one, that wouldn't do anything to the U.S. as U.S. Treasuries are a hot commodity that everyone wants for their stability and rate of return. It would, however, destroy China utterly and no, they could not use it to buy Euros given that but also because the USD is the world reserve currency.

Maybe it's time for both Europe and China to give up on the U.S. There is a time that we should no longer allow ourselves and America to, frankly, to continue this downright abusive (from their end to us) marriage. It's time to leave NATO. They've betrayed us anyway so we might just as well get it over with.


So I see you have utterly no idea what you're talking about. When you get a chance, do go look up who the main trading partner is for both Germany and China. Then go look up what % of their GDP comes from exports. Quite frankly, both the EU and China can be broken in half by the U.S. with no sweat and it's only by our good graces we allow you to exist; so abusive indeed. Also, do go look up NATO funding per members when you get a chance because I think you'll learn who the parasites in the relationship is.

And how exactly has the U.S. mistreated Europe? I'm eagerly awaiting to hear about this.

Well, he was asked by an interviewer, "So, why should my son be sent to defend Montenegro?" (Mutual defense is the heart of the NATO pact.) Trump went into this rantlet about how Montenegrins can be very aggressive and who knows, next thing that happens is, we're in World War Three. Something like that.

The more important question is how does he know that Montenegro exists?

As I said, Montenegro certainly won't start a world war anytime soon because they just ended a war with the Japos.

Btw, Montenegrians are known to be lazy af. Every Montenegrian has a chair next to his bed so he can recover from sleeping afterwards.
Also, many Montenegrians migrate to Serbia because they know there's much unemployment there hahahaha :lol:

No, of course not. Trump was saying that if someone, Russia perhaps, was attacked Montenegro, NATO would be obliged to defend them. He was fed the name of the place by the interviewer. I doubt he could have come up with it on his own.

Of course, Bismarck once said, on being asked what might start the next European war, "It will be some damn fool thing in the Balkans that sets it off."

If Montenegro attacked Serbia, it wouldn't be our problem. Montenegro really is the mountain people meme throughout history. They are aggressive and clannish. He just missed the point of defense. That being said, they contribute nothing, it's a small country with no value. Really they shouldn't be in NATO.

Edit: bringing Ivan into was legimate, afterall they always blindly defend Serbian terrorist actions whether it be 1914 or 1994.
