In respect to the outcomes of people willingly voting in opposition to their own best interests (Brexit, Trump & here in NZ, National/ACT/NZ1st) I have decided that frustration, anger & anxiety are all pointless & tiring.
From now on I have decided that I will be mostly pointing & laughing.

This is worth a read. Former US security services,l pays out some of the major issues facing Trump's US if they invade Greenland.
Europe and the rest of NATO are not powerless against a bullying rogue US, far ftom it.
You have to wonder why it's taken an American to point this out.

Hang on, if this is true, Trump's US is now not only aligned with Putin's Russia, this says that they will actively foment resistance against the EU's strategic aims. Presumably, that means using all the active measures available.

Disclaimer: I’m sharing this which was posted here as an extract from the new US National Security Strategy, I don’t know if it is, Christ I hope it isn’t because it would mean the US is now openly and formally opposed to European integration.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.
