One Ukraine War thing Trump did harp on, was who in the West was doing the funding for Ukraine. His point was that Europe's economy is approximately equal to the U.S., but we have put in 5x or more of the total support
That is a legitimate concern. Support of Ukraine is essentially being undertaken by three countries. The first being the US followed by the UK and third, Poland. At the same time however, the only continental power in Europe other than Russia is the USA. Britain has never been a continental power, Germany ceased to be one in 1945 and there is little point in even discussing France and its role in European security.
Arguably all NATO members should bear the burden not just the US, the UK and Poland.
If Germany can't step forward, who can?
Just a note on a related subject...The most popular boy's name in Germany last year was Mohammed. In the eternal balancing act between guns & butter and considering Germany's view of the military since WW2, has the equation slid so far towards social services that Germany can no longer field an effective military? Or pay for its own defense?

The cynical side of me would suggest that this might have all been about ratings and money....

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Actually Poland is trying hard to become the other continental power.

Interesting. We've grown up seeing them as a relatively powerless nation, which is not at all what they originally were.

I think it serves two purposes:
- Ratings
- It gives an appearence of at least trying to be a little less biased.

Okay.
Word is, that after his performance last night, DeSantis is meeting with his advisors this morning.
His campaign may be called off.

I read that on a couple of different political sites. Maybe it's all smoke. Or maybe DeSantis is weighing his options.

Complaining noisily about CNN bias whilst simultaneously sucking Trump's dick is quite an achievement.

President Trump during town hall on debt ceiling:
QUOTE
Congress has always raised the debt limit when required to avoid a default. Trump himself raised the limit three times during his time in the White House.When asked by Collins why he is now calling on Republicans to avoid raising the debt ceiling, Trump replied: "Because now I'm not president."

Yep. Unlike Biden, he can have a sense of humor and be funny.

I am not sure he was trying to be either, but at least in this case, he was honest. 555
