Since they don’t want to pay the bills, The US armed forces should pull out of Germany, that or start paying for protection 100% out of the German budget or make them enlist all the economic refugees into protecting Germany. Lets see how that might work.

The problem here is that the vast majority of economic refugees invading Germany and the rest of Europe are Muslims and therefore would never defend Christian majority (for now) countries... on the contrary, many come here to impose their Sharia and Jihad on us...

Some inconvenient facts for the person who is accusing our allies of robbing us:

Average tariff rates charged by G-7 nations:

USA: 1.6%
EU: 1.6%
UK: 1.6%
Italy: 1.6%
Germany: 1.6%
France: 1.6%
Japan: 1.4%
Canada: 0.8%​

(Source: data.worldbank.org)

“President Trump’s top economic adviser accused Justin Trudeau of a “betrayal” that risked making Mr. Trump look weak before his North Korea meeting”
https://nyti.ms/2HBO5Ci

Aside from the fact that making someone else look “strong” isn’t the Canadian PM’s job, 45 showed up up late, left early, generally disrespected allied leaders like a spoiled brat and flip flopped on his own positions, it’s not Trudeau making him look bad.

He IS weak. And Kim will no doubt take advantage of that.

 

[Kate]

That summit in Singapore will probably be declared a 'success' (unless 45 decides to make another flip-flop and leave, you never know).
Kim will play his ego, let him think he has the upper hand, but in the end 45 will not achieve anything.
It's not important as long as he can show off and claim he at least tried to do something.
Kim has already won. Recognition, legitimation, consolidation of his regime.
Another sad day for US diplomacy.

Takeaway: you can't effectively negotiate when you don't even know what you are talking about.

Some predictions on the upcoming summit: an empty promise of denuclearization (in exchange for various concessions on the part of the US) which will be dangled like a carrot to get even more from the US, then rescinded as soon as it’s convenient.

I can't remember a war Sen. John McCain didn't support. He's a moderate republican, willing to compromise but seemed to put his vendetta above his office.

He's dying of cancer but instead of resigning, aids will run his office so he can hold on to power.

His wife is $300 million and well endowed in wealth.

Well then based on that, assimilation is simply impossible?, therefore the bigger question is why would the EU leaders be so ignorant to invite them in or accept them in if they had no intentions of assimilating? I had a long distance Turkish taxi driver, excellent guy was friendly, fluent in german, english, etc. seemed assisimilated and part of Germany, got along with several Germans he asked questions with. I had no idea he wasn’t German. Must be others like him that could help the situation.

I noticed you ducked my question. I think you were all happy with what you posted, and thought it was something special that wages were going up, except they go up every month. It's like the time you were excited about record breaking stock market months, when that happened over half the time under Obama the last few years.

The summit. It'll probably be passed off as a meet and greet, I've seen that term being used. Then maybe another meeting past the November elections, where nothing will happen.

You guys have always been like that. Maybe Trump didn't get the message? One man and one woman, not one man, one woman and multiple porn stars without a condom.

This means a lot coming from an economist that can't read a chart or understand what market volume and open interest are.

Wage increase, don't try to bring other stuff into it. You couldn't back up your post, hence you not linking to any chart/source. Don't post stuff you have no knowledge of, then you wouldn't trip over yourself so much.

I'm embarrassed for you:

Besides the charts you struggle to read showing wage increases each year. Like I said, stuff elementary school kids can grasp.

Again, comments on Christian faith from an atheist who thinks a curse can influence events. Rarely has someone been so wrong about so much.. it's amazing. ** Too bad he didn't bother to read the article.

Unlike other religions, Islam will not allow it's followers to totally assimilate with the infidels... especially their women. You won't see a Muslim ever going to a Beer Fest. Would a French Muslim soldier ever go fight in Syria, Iraque or Afghanistan?

As for the Taxi driver speaking several languages and being friendly... that should apply to the majority of taxi drivers from all over. In that line of work the more languages they speak and the friendlier they are, the more success they'll have.

As for stupid EU Leaders opening the borders to let millions in, (against the peoples will)... VOTES. Just like the Dems in the US wanting more immigrants, especially illegals.

This is stupid. As if you need to drink or go to war to assimilate. You can find plenty of Germans that don't drink alcohol. You can find plenty of Muslims that do. What does this have to do with anything. Earlier it was posted Muslims getting jobs, truck driving and you had a fit about it. Getting jobs, making your own money, getting settled in helps. Plenty of Muslims have always lived in Germany, when I lived over there it was mainly Turkish people.

I will say this. My mother just came back from vacation over there, mainly Leipzig and was telling me about this, refugees. They cannot work when they first get over there, because they need to go thru paperwork (if they have any) background checks etc. In the meantime, they get like food stamps/money, put them in apartments, or metal boxes/trailers stacked on top of each other is how she explained it to me in Leipzig. Germans won't hire them until they go thru this process and learn to speak German. So yeah, you should have a plan to help people assimilate.

I guess the Federalist was bored or can't find any new things to use to distract from the Trump mess, since that's an old story from December of last year - http://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...wyer-sought-donor-cash-for-two-trump-accusers

That article goes thru it all. And I believe we went thru that here, when it was actually in the news last year.

Not “hoping he will fail.” But Kim has already gotten one big thing they’ve been after for years: Brutal dictator of a piddley little country is being legitimized as an equal to leader of one of the great world powers. Win!

Evidence of a lack of planning and preparation on the part of the US doesn’t bode well. Arguments are clearly laid out in the thread I posted.

NK has spent billions of dollars on their nuclear program. It’s their insurance policy. Mark my words, even if Kim says he will denuclearize, it won’t happen,
