    Not even allowed to plan. This isn’t appeasement, it’s straight up surrender.

    Unless that stand down order extends to NSA and SIGINT I don’t think it is at all significant in terms of security. From what I can tell as is, it only eliminates a level of unnecessary redundancy more than adequately covered by the other two.

        Perhaps the UK could poach them to work for us. Russians hacked our NHS only seven months ago

          Like the leftists used to say about Stalin, Andy, Putin is just misunderstood. You just have to stop threatening him.

            I guess we’ll see what happens. Trump said he’d get the war stopped in a day. I’d be fine with 6 months.

              I’m wondering if his plan to end the war is by invading Ukraine, ourselves?

                Interesting question. It could very well be since Trump speaks of sending American miners and oil patch roughnecks to Ukraine ostensibly as human shields against future aggression from Russia. If true, both the logic and morality seem strange and borne of a bygone era. It suggests that Ukrainian and Russian lives are of little or no value to him but American material interests on Ukraine’s territory in the form of natural resources are of great value and worth to defend militarily.

                      If Russia took Ukraine, the EU would probably really appreciate having a strong US military based in Greenland… Just saying…

                            Not really. In fact not at all. Gaza is by far a more strategically suitable location for a massive multi force US strategic military facility. One could make a whole list of rock solid and bullet proof reasons supporting that claim. It also appears quite attainable in the short run. Possibly even before the beginning of summer.

There you go using global geography… You have to use ‘Merican geography… then you’ll realize that North is North … Europe is a Northern continent, and is closer to Greenland, no matter the miles (or even that gay “kilometer” crap, if you insist. Everybody knows that Gaza borders Egypt, which is Northern Africa. And Africa’s south, so obviously Greenland’s closer to Europe.

                                Seriously, though? It is absolutely astounding looking at the satellite maps and realizing just the sheer frigging size of Russia (what is it, 10% of the landmass of the world?) and the population is about 150M? And 80% of that is in an area roughly the size as the Easter Seaboard? I mean, north of Yakutsk, it’s just miles of nothing.

                                        My Rubio’s gone a long way from lampooning Trump’s small hands a decade ago..

                                        Personally, I think young Marco will be the first cabinet appointee to bail -.or be thrown under the bus - thus initiating the revolving door theatre that came to characterize Trump’s first term cabinet.

                                          I expect less turnover this time because he didn't pick anyone who valued their own integrity over loyalty to Trump. This time he specifically excluded such people.

                                          And that was mostly what got people out of his good graces, such as they were.
