Will Trump try to force Europeans to get their ships blown up?

That seems like something Putin would suggest.

'Sinners' Musical Performance | 98th Oscars (2026) YouTube video by Oscars

Didn’t see the Oscars. Raving comments made me look on YouTube because I needed to see this for myself. What magnificence! Someday there’ll be sensible merit based decisions in these awards. Meanwhile, kudos to Misty Copeland, Michael B Jordan, Brian Coogler & their team.

He is stuck and frantic. Verifications have put Trump in the Epstein files, $$ to Trump’s victims, stuck, mired, friendless and furious. What follows will be more death, loss, and sorrow. FOR WHAT?? What was the objective here? As a teacher, my curriculum is reviewed each term for clear OBJECTIVES.

Jon Ossoff: The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members return in flag-draped coffins, and others have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace.

He's "DEMANDING" and telling other countries what they SHOULD do? He's still trying to order the world what they should do. The world is in this mess because of everything that Trump has done. He hasn't done anything for "allies". Everything he does is for his own ego & his own wealth. Period.

Listen to this dumb dillhole arguing with himself, demanding that Middle Eastern countries come and help dig him out of the mess he’s in, as he keeps alternately flexing his tiny mushroom muscles, and begging for help. But you’re not confused at all, are you Donald?😵‍💫😭🍼

There is nothing in the NATO Charter that requires a member-state to join wars of aggression started by another member.

I hate this.

Folks who work their entire lives should be able to retire with dignity and some peace. This story may have a happy ending, but for far too many seniors it does not.

Quotes on war by Americans:
General W.T. Sherman: "War is Hell."
Mark Twain: "God created war so that Americans would learn geography."
DJT: "we may hit it a few more times just for fun." and
..."maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all, because we don’t need it. We have a lot of oil.”

The 🤪 is 😵‍💫

🚨 SHOCKING MOMENT: A reporter asks Trump on Air Force One about the six U.S. service members who died last week.

Instead of responding, Trump ignores the question completely and moves on.

Why won’t he address the fallen troops?
