    USA actively behaving like an enemy to Europe and NATO interests.
    Trump is a traitor to USA, and USA is a traitor to NATO and democracy because he is allowed to continue his treasonous administration.

    USA might as well have a Russian speaking FSB agent as president, as Trump is clearly an FSB asset.
    And Americans keep allowing that shit.

        Earlier in the day, Trump said on Truth Social that “Canada is destroying itself by allowing millions and millions of people into the Country” who were “essentially unchecked and unvetted.”>

        So is proposing that Americans should not get in?

        Exactly, what else would a Russian asset do but destroy the strongest alliance and friendship USA has?

      The problem is that the head of NATO, is so deep in Trump’s anus, he can lick his tonsils. Fuck ‘Daddy’ Rutte.

        I think Rutte is trying to save NATO, and keep NATO relevant and prevent Trump from doing something even more insane than he is already doing by pleasing him.

          No he was always in Trump’s ass. When he was PM of the Netherlands with the whole ASML saga. Blocking a private, commercial company to do business with China because America (Trump) said so, is so fucking weak and spineless. They must have spend some time together on an undisclosed island.

          At least China doesn’t take any shit so now both Xiaomi and Huawei are developing and manufacturing their own 3nm chips for as well as local manufacturers for high quality GPU’s. It will take a few years but they will catch up.

          In the meantime, Rutte is war mongering about China invading Taiwan a little as 6 days ago, which is not going to happen. It’s all western propaganda. If he took a 5 minutes breath out of America’s anus and study the history of China and Taiwan, he could see it’s been going on since the 1800s. Not to mention the current political situation in China itself where there is no support for any military action within the factions.

          Instead he’s beating the same dead horse, straight out of the GOP playbook. He’s a cunt.

            When he was PM of the Netherlands with the whole ASML saga.

            OK I didn’t know that, I just find it weird that Netherlands willingly risk killing one of their leading industries. And 100% for sure cause them to lose revenue immediately, as China was their biggest market, and most likely face steep+ competition in the future because China is forced to make their own.

            Instead he’s beating the same dead horse, straight out of the GOP playbook. He’s a cunt.

            I admit he has made statements I found weird, and I think I recognize the picture you are painting. Even the previous general secretary Anders Fogh Rasmussen who also had his head up the GOP ass, is now admitting that we can’t rely on USA like we used to. But I’m still not sure Rutte is partially playing a game to please and distract Trump, but maybe he actually is as stupid as you write?

                you should read about Nexperia.

                I did, and that is absolutely insane. Any company from a country other than China would never have been treated like that.
                We accuse China of practices that favor China, and do exactly what we accuse them of. 🤡
                China is clearly discriminated in the west, and a lot is done to prevent them from progressing. But it only causes the opposite.

                Soon China can do the same against EU and USA, and they are morally justified by the way we have behaved.

        I already despised that slimey fucker when he was PM of the NL. His “Breef aan de Nederlanders” was the most disgusting and pathetic attempt to fish for racists votes ever.

        Could not or could care less are both grammatically correct if that is what you are getting at? I was raised not to do contractions as a kid. Long story (mom was a British war bride who would only allow “the queens English”).

          Could care less = “I could care less about this thing, if I tried harder.”

          Implying that you do care, but could potentially care less if pressed.

          Couldn’t care less = “I could NOT care less about this thing, even if I tried harder”

          Get it right, it’s important.

            I am almost 70 and I am not going to change my language at this stage of my life. It was correct grammar back in the day. Language changes over time. Sad you felt the need to downvote when just discussing. Keep on keeping on.

              This isn’t a matter of grammar, though. It’s simply that these are two things that mean the opposite of each other. A negated sentence, that is, a sentence with the word the word “not” added to it, tends to mean the opposite of the original sentemce. Compare these two example sentences:

              I like pancakes.

              I do not like pancakes.

              Or these two examples:

              I could swim across.

              I couldn’t swim across.

              In the same way, the sentence “I could care less” means the opposite of the expression “I couldn’t care less”. But due to how similar they sound, “I could care less” has, for a long time, been a common mistaken way to invoke the usual expression of “I couldn’t care less”. But they are not interchangeable, as they literally mean the opposite of each other due to the difference of “could” vs. “couldn’t” (contraction of “could not”). When you say “I could care less”, you are actually saying the exact opposite of what you most likely intend.

              Perhaps it helps to break down each sentence in your head, as if you had just heard them for the first time, and try to make yourself conscious of what each of them actually means and expresses at their most basic. I’m sure you will find that only “I couldn’t care less” actually expresses a sentiment of “not caring” about something, whereas “I could care less” says that you actually do care about something, but is unclear about whether you care a lot or only a little.

              Sorry if I’m overexplaining here, I’m just trying to find the words that best make it make sense to you. :)

                Discussed it with my wife. She agrees with you, but also said it might be a bit of a hard one if you take it literally like care less which literally caring less irregardless of could or could not. I gave up trying to correct people‘s grammar a long time ago. They don’t care anymore. They say did my idea get across to you? If so who cares. I am too old to fight the good grammar fight anymore.

                  I’m not the same person, I just thought it was a really good (and funny) example of someone refusing to change their beliefs despite being shown evidence to the contrary. Have a good one, skipper!
