That's the problem. They've come to the conclusion (rightly or wrongly) that you have to play on his ego and narcissism

It's why he loves Putin so much.The ability to stay in power whilst accumulating unprecedented wealth. Musk gave an interview for a couple of years ago when he said he wasn't the richest man in the world - Putin was.

Said similar after the Trump assassination attempt. Think the difference would be Vance would be more of an isolationist than a expansionist. Interesting that he has largely been sidelined on many foreign policy issues over the 18 months or so - Gaza, Iran, Greenland Ukraine

It's not even subtle the corruption around this administration anymore. The pardoning of massive white collar criminals (who Trump has admitted he doesn't even know who they are) who have paid huge lobbying fees is another example of the monetisation of this administration.

Think it's a shame but again there will be little chance of developing spinners in the current domestic red ball system

Seems like this white ball team is based on the principle of "no point having bowlers just hope the batsmen can score enough runs".

Has to because there has to little confidence that US would honour its NATO obligations if Russia invaded for example the smaller Baltic states. Europe's problem is gaining consensus on how that defense building should happen. For example already can't agree on how to spend defense fund.

Canada has the "luxury" of massive natural resources that Europe doesn't have. They also have to strengthen their alliances and defense because if Trump bullies his way into controlling Greenland his narrative will go back to Canada becoming the 51st state.

Frankly an astonishing speech by Carney yesterday at Davos. A wake up call to everyone that whilst Trump remains President the world order is going to change and countries need to start adapting quickly.

Russia's argument for trying to take all of Ukraine was for their national security. Many argue that if Russia does get to hold the territory it currently holds in Ukraine it will regroup and try and take a weakened Ukraine (want Ukraine disarmed in any peace deal and don't care about external...

same people who say Putin/russia aren't really a threat and should be given part of Ukraine and then everything will be great. Same people who want to strengthen US economic relationship with Russia. All these people are dominated by a commercial mindset rather than a geopolitical/diplomat mindset.

autopen is going to be extremely busy for the last few weeks of this Presidency

For someone who has bleated about how he was the victim of the political weaponisation of the judicial system he has wasted little time in doing similar things.

summary. They live in a self-indulgent bubble (deaf to criticism/advice - constructive or other forms) where there's little accountability for performances on or off the field.

Proper old school fight. Boxing desperately needs more of these fights to rebuild its reputation and appeal.

Little interest from US oil companies in re-investing in Venezuela but Trump's convinced there would be. Maybe some companies aren't interested atm but Trump has been convinced that there is a fortune under Greenland that US should have. When he first mentioned annexing Greenland (during his...

For allTrump's talk not sure he'd even get congressional approval to "annexe" Greenland anyway. Enough "rebels" within Republican ranks to scupper it. And if he doesn't move quickly he's likely to be facing a hostile Congress after the mid-terms (November) anyway.

Wouldn't trust Europe to "get their shit together". Announced a big defense budget/spending plan then started worrying about keeping the spending within the EU rather than actually getting the actual kit etc they need. Then you have EU defense businesses that want to expand but complain it'll...

It's nothing more than a massive financial grab of the large mineral/metal resources. Russia & China aren't invading Greenland. US has too many submarine assets etc that could prevent any sort of land grab. Anything else could be sorted by building new bases on Greenland that would deter any...
