He is. He's pushing against our "allies" who abandoned us in Iran.

quote:What metrics are you using to reach “objectively no”? GDP per capita? Life expectancy? Infant mortality? Household consumption? Infrastructure? Employment? Because on most basic measures of material well-being, Europe is plainly better off than it was when the EU was established.
My feelings, as well. Ask one question. Is Europe better off since the establishment of the EU? I think the answer is objectively no.
And the EU is not just Germany, France, the Netherlands, and other already-rich Western European countries. It also includes a large group of former Eastern Bloc states whose development since accession is difficult to describe as anything but a major success. Poland, the Baltic states, Czechia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, and others have seen enormous gains in income, infrastructure, trade, investment, and living standards while converging toward Western Europe.
So if your claim is that Europe is “objectively” worse off because of the EU, what objective measures are you actually using? Or do you "just feeeeel like" it's worse off?
The obvious ones point the other direction.

You are correct. Also, the UK is an ally in name only and causes us more trouble than it's worth. Just my opinion.

So you support another endless Middle Eastern War? Doesn’t sound like America First to me.

are you some kind of a moron? the move for independence is coming from ireland, scottland and wales, trump was simply stating his opinion on it.
i can tell you the person who's opinion i really don't care about is yours.

Yes, it is quite evident that you don't understand what is in our country's best interests.

How dare Trump engage in foreign policy as the president of the US! Does he think that's his job? Does he think the presidency is called the Leader of the Free World or something?
I did not vote for Trump to give his opinions on foreign countries. Except Ukraine. We should give them everything we have and even send troops because Putin is a big meany.

Won't make any difference when they're all swirled up with muzzies and jeets.

Some bits of information I think everyone should know are the differences between the British Isles, the United Kingdom, Great Britain, and England.

Also, I’d hate to see unification. Northern Ireland is a fantastic nation that is very wealthy and full of people of mainland Britain blood.
Must be why people told me to avoid Belfast when I traveled to Ireland last year. Didn’t want me to see all the wealth and success.
