  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Trump caves

    I wasn't criticizing him - I was stating a fact. Perhaps Trump is renting too much space in your brain for you to understand what I said? How does anything I said prove that? If they're so useless, why maintain the alliance at all? You're sending mixed messages. Russia being right next door...

    Trump caves

    I'm not sure what rock you've been hiding under - Trump bragged long and loud about getting NATO members to spend more on defense during his first term. https://www.nato.int/content/dam/nato/webready/documents/finance/def-exp-2025-en.pdf Right - he should threaten our allies instead. That...

    Trump caves

    This reads like an ex-post-facto justification. If a commitment to Arctic security is what Trump actually wanted, why did he never ask for it? Also, has there been any real commitment? AFAIK, they're just at the "framework of a deal" phase - which means nothing, as far as commitments go.

    No, Iceland is a completely independent country.

    He seems to do a fairly decent job of managing and manipulating Trump, at least. I have some experience with managing and redirecting dementia patients thanks to my grandparents, and it's not as easy as you might think.

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    Of course they're not going to tell the unstable guy with a huge military and nuclear weapons that he's damaging his country's relationship with them. But we can still observe the way that countries are responding to Trump and America in general, and compare that to the past. There is no...

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    Translation: it's exactly the same as the deal we had before, but now Trump is going to take credit for it and fail to acknowledge the further damage that he's done to our goodwill with his threats and posturing.

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    Threats get results...until they don't. And they burn up all your friendships in the process.

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    Indeed - I've made no secret of my contempt for the man. Not sure why you think his words would carry any weight.

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    Cruz showed himself to be a spineless sycophant 10 years ago - I've seen nothing to suggest that he's changed.

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    That this is the only response you're able to muster to my post is telling. China's navy is untested. They have a lot of ships; whether those ships (and more importantly, the sailors on them) are actually any good remains to be seen. They might turn out to be a joke, or they might not. But...

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    When the last time we did it was over 150 years ago (Alaska in 1867; I'm not counting the Virgin Islands as a "large amount of land," and the Philippines were granted independence), it kinda is something new. The world has changed significantly since then. 1. There are currently no...
