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.

It is America who has been burning the bridges. If you can’t see how America changed it’s relationship with the rest of the world since Trump 2.0 you are part of the problem.

I can say the same for you all. What I don't understand is that liberals all over the world and leaders were Russia, Russia, Russia, and yet the actions don't back their loud mouths. Uk used to have an impressive navy. What about now, if Russia were a threat, the actions of yalls countries show me it's all liberal fear talk.

Nope. I'm exploring avenues, in search of insight, and giving every possibility the benefit of the doubt - Not arguing "for" anything.
...I do have a blockade on the road called Everything Trump Does is Bad, though, which everyone else seems to hang out on.

These are good arguments. You may actually be 100% correct.
...Some of the best points I've heard (much better than the lazy sarcasm and worthless tit-for-tats), yet, I feel the need to dig deeper. I feel the need to know more.

Yeah... that's what I'm waiting for. And I hope it comes sooner rather than later. It's pretty much the only avenue I see toward pumping the brakes at this point, and trying to establish some sense of stability in the economy and international relations.
Of course, he'll try to get tariffs through other avenues. But it should at least slow him down.

It's just such a shame it's going this way.
I am glad Trump was elected and I think he has done some good, but I think it's appropriate to be critical of missteps as well as praising the good.
Greenland is a NATO member and associated with Denmark, a country which rallied behind the US when it activated NATO following 9/11. This is not how allies should be treated, especially when it appears overwhelmingly to be less about defence and more about natural resources, especially now Trump has posted that because he didn't get given the Nobel Peace Prize he no longer 'feels obligated to think purely of peace', which is just childish and feels punitive because his ego wasn't satiated.
I hope he goes back to focusing on the threat of Islam, gender ideology and helping embolden foreign leaders in addressing the same by his example.

You've confused it with "Everything Stupid or Illegal that Trump Does is Bad". It's not our fault that he keeps doing stupid and illegal things.

And it need not be an all in or nothing stance we make. We can vote and support a candidate because of certain issues while disagreeing and criticizing on others.
This js s good example. Voting and supporting to secure the border and undo woke is understandable. Threatening military action and economic punishment on allies is quite another.
When we vote for someone we do not owe them loyalty. Rather, they owe us accountability.

When Trump beat Harris, I was happy. I thought he was the less evil choice. Since then Trump is proving me wrong

"....the Russian government's newspaper is full of praise for Trump and critical of European leaders who oppose a US annexation of Greenland.
"Standing in the way of the US president's historic breakthrough is the stubbornness of Copenhagen and the mock solidarity of intransigent European countries, including so-called friends of America, Britain and France," writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
"If Trump annexes Greenland by July 4 2026, when America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he will go down in history as a figure who asserted the greatness of the United States," writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
"With Greenland, the US becomes the second largest country in the world after Russia, surpassing Canada in area. For Americans, that's on par with such planetary events as the abolition of slavery by Abraham Lincoln in 1862 or the territorial conquests of the Napoleonic Wars.
"If, thanks to Trump, Greenland becomes part of America…for sure the American people will not forget such an achievement."

The Russian praise must warm the heart of our president.
