Maybe he couldn’t get a visa from Denmark.
Visiting US military bases probably wouldn’t require a visa under bilateral treaty agreements.
It’s stunning that Vance and others are so fixated on the Europeans not paying their fair dues to the US on their security.
In the Signal chat, there was discussion about extracting compensation from the Europeans for the cost of a unilateral US decision to attack Houthis on land in Yemen.
The allies contribution to CENTCOM in the Middle East and around the world doesn’t get factored in. The partnership with CENTCOM has its origin in post 9/11 support for the US.
And, those Embassies in the likes of Damascus, Tehran and Baghdad, where there is no US diplomatic presence or where the US is underrepresented or in the wrong location. The Australian Embassy in Tehran and the location of its Embassy in Iraq have value for the US. The Czech Embassy in Damascus under the Assad regime served as a proxy when most Western countries severed diplomatic relations with Syria.

I think it’s just sending Thoughts and Prayers.

But, even saying you pray should disqualify you from any sort of government position.

As we all know, if prayers work, there would never have been any need to invwent viagra.

That woman appointed as the official prayer person at the White House is selling indulgences.

Well, just in case you thought that FUBAR Trumps Job Approval ratings must be tanking to below Biden levels. This is what his ratings are doing, after the security breach.
Trumps approval is going up slightly at 48%, while his disapproval rating is rock steady at 48.8%

REF. RCP poll aggregate ( includes Rasmussen ) 26/3/25

I guess that’s what happens when the MSM rarely reports the bad things they do and over-report any potentially good news.

When the big fashion labels complain about the Chinese and SE Asian countries stealing their IP with knock off reproductions sold to tourists, they go about selling their high priced genuine fashion labelled clothing, footwear and bags manufactured under licence in sweatshops in China, SE Asia and Bangladesh.

The one you missed?
It was a talking point at work on FTA policy.

These TLA’s are driving me mad.

It’s a good point, “Peace Through Strength” is the motto, the one they jump and tap as they leave the race, they were in fact Peace Plans all along.

Free Trade Agreement ( but most of them only free up trade in a few goods and services, except for the ANZFTA).

I mean, there’s lots of Buffy episode in the later seasons that my mind has mercifully blotted out, but I don’t remember the made in Mexico thing either.
