  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    no arguing, just disagreeing 1) There are very, very people in this world who fail to understand that Trump often bluffs. His policies are called TACO for good reason. 2) Trump cannot end NATO. And no, Supreme Court would not rubber stamp such action. BTW, SCOTUS has often decided against...

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    You seem to be focusing on the last month with regard to NATO. 1) BTW, what ACTIONS has Trump taken with regard to Greenland. All I've seen is a couple of servings of TACOs. 2) Trump threatening got NATO members to greatly increase their military spending, thus strengthening NATO. This has...

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    And you seem to believe the word of Trump, a strange approach at best. There is a name for Trump's threats and tariffs: TACO I agree that the market got Trump to back down faster than he wanted, but barring a takeover of the US military and ending Congress, there was very little chance that...

    I'm confused. You speak as if there are no mining companies or US economic interests already present in Greenland's mining. https://www.engineerlive.com/content/billionaires-invest-ai-mining-firms-greenland-s-strategic-value-grows...

    1) Not you, but others, have suggested that Trump had started a war and ended NATO. 2) I do believe that this action as well as the tariffs have strengthened both NATO and the EU, as well as Trump's Ukraine policies. I certainly agree that Trump's methods are misguided at best. 3) As with the...

    The difference is that PUTIN actually invaded a major power in Europe and killed hundreds of thousands AFTER occupying Crimea in the first war. TRUMP blustered and THREATENED to invade a Danish territory of 55,000 people. For some of us, there is a MAJOR, MAJOR difference between these two...

    C'mon. you all thought that Trump was causing a war with NATO and the EU through his bluster and threats of tariffs. Trump WINS big time if there is more of a focus on the Russian and Chinese threats in the Arctic, more of a Denmark and NATO presence in Greenland, more of a US military...

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    Your posts are truly amusing to me. Not even Trump cares about what Canada thinks about Greenland. Canada is not going to war with the US over a European territory. If he cared, he would have be increasing tariffs on Canada.

    they could try, but I suspect that the economics is much better in selling these products to the US. Besides, I don't see Canada choosing an embargo on these products. Do you?

    I well understand that US tariffs hurt the US economy and HELP the economies of the rest of the world. This especially true for Canda and Mexico which have important exclusions.

    Yes, Europe can choose embargos instead of tariffs as a retaliatory move. Instead of helping Europe like US tarrifs on Europe, export restrictions would greatly hurt Europe (as well as the US). There is no need for Europe to do this. Increased tariffs on selected goods are more likely...
