re: The EU is Melting Down this morning at not being able to censor the world

You mean the editor is editing her writers? You can’t seriously compare that to disallowing free speech on social media?

quote:

It’s become abundantly clear that the US and Europe no longer share the same values or goals and thus should no longer be allied strategically.

Okay, but hold off on that. There is a turning in Europe and The UK. Let’s see how it goes first.

I mean, isn't that basically all of them?

No. It’s a very small minority that is successfully defying the demos - thus far.

I doubt this term will take root in the American lexicon, but I've seen some in the current Right that are equally silly.

Expand the list and then start a new one of all the US military units no longer allowed to be deployed to the EU. Doesn’t seem like they are able to provide safe areas to host our troops anymore.

I understand your sentiment but we need the bases around the world to head off foreign enemies. However those enemies are now containing some of those bases. We’ll be OK for now. But we have to withdraw I guarantee we will leave better than when “Biden” was in charge.

Today's Europeans are trying to destroy the enlightenment. Voltaire, Lafayette, Newton, Locke et al are spinning in their graves.

... remember , about 6 years ago in the ToE thread there was a big reveal of a project near completion at MIT.
The project was developing a machine that could project your thoughts without your verbal input. There was a big discussion on this topic.

We are closer and closer to that point ...

Even the Chicoms don't try to claim jurisdiction over foreign speech.

We can be fine with bases in Sweden/ Finland, the three Baltic nations, Poland (the main deployment zone) and perhaps a future democratic Ukraine.

Centrally located, and keep the Western Europeans and Russia apart.

Go south to Egypt and Saudi. Swim to Diego Garcia. And coalesce S Korea, Japan, Nationalist China, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

Combine this with the Monroe Doctrine and there’s the Pax Americana protecting OUR trading partners for American prosperity.
