Is America great again?

"My own country left the USA thing already, and the govt. decided to replace USA as "our big guy friend" with Germany-France. Said discretely :) After helping US both in Afghanistan and USA, with the little what we got." i fell sorry for your country (whichever it is), ill pray for it's eminent death, regarding liberties and sanity.

"EU isn't going anywhere, it is much much stronger now because of Trump. Because now we have to stick together in Europe, there's no other option. No USA to fall back to." Im still rooting for it to collapse, damn soverainty graber, couldnt just stay in the economic sence had to decide and regulate people lives.

"Turkey is a dictatorship now, and definitely NOT Europe's friend. It's crazy we are allied with them. We might as well have North Korea in NATO." Turkey joined because they were usefull during the cold war, they had nuclear missiles contabalancing cuba.

How about this why does the EU keep sending money to Turkey?, on the basis they inovate and make theyre economy compatible whit EU laws,so they can join the EU just as sending them money so they can "democratize". Migrants is the answer, but do think about it.

"They are investing MASSIVELY in green tech now. "
because they dont have any energy sources( and it's better for them to dump money anywhere than to increase the pay checks of theyre population, which would destroy theyre country), they need to buy from russia, or other asian countries, and theyre afraid theyl get hit from some kind of inflation regardin fuels, just like happened during the 80's whit the coallition from arabic countries to increase oil prices.

"Diplomacy is a chess game, you don't tell the other guy what you plan to do in a few moves :)" depends if youre going to negociate economic things then yes you do talk to those countries.

"You want somebody looking stable, so you can do plans 20 and 30 years ahead in the future." youre probably living in a "democracy" i cant even think of the irony of this statement, oh lets make a treathy regarding more military cooperation, next governament, we need the money to put it on health care, shut the last plan down, etc.
With Turkey, I'd prefer EU to kick them from NATO and play hardball with them.

Should more be like "stop the migrants or we will sanction you untill you have 99% unemployment".

They never had nukes, USA had nukes stationed there Turkey during the cold war.

EU is not going away. We are neighbor to big bad Russia, we need to stand together. Everybody knows that.

For the 20 years, off course you make plans like that. When you join a military alliance and invests tons of money getting the stuff you need for your role there, you don't do that if the other country changes it's mind every 3 months.

Stable democracies have govts. that accept the important stuff and don't make crazy random changes. And they don't forget to appoint ambassadors.

Those you can work with.

Unstable democracies like now USA, you don't.

It's like, you don't invest everything in cooperating with like Congo or Ukraine, because you are not sure they will get a totally new govt. next year that wants do do the opposite thing.
"With Turkey, I'd prefer EU to kick them from NATO and play hardball with them." it's turkey who will play hardball, theyre already doing it thats why erdogan became a "dictator", he can get away whit it, if EU complains he just release's migrants.

"Should more be like "stop the migrants or we will sanction you untill you have 99% unemployment"." more like if you dont give turkey money your economy and native population will be sofucated by migrants.

"We are neighbor to big bad Russia, we need to stand together. Everybody knows that." you can easely do that whitout the EU, the EU is a failed experiment, it just destroyes countries one way or the other.

"When you join a military alliance and invests tons of money getting the stuff you need for your role there, you don't do that if the other country changes it's mind every 3 months." my example made more sence regarding national politics matters.

"Stable democracies have govts. that accept the important stuff and don't make crazy random changes." then we must be thinking of diferent democracies, because what i see is every 4 years the new governament just inverst the last one's decision, regardign economic and political decisions, That's why there's huge debt's no one want's to be the governament who has to save money and then the next governament just spends it and claims it's the best one because it build roads, and a few years latter there's no money.

"Unstable democracies like now USA, you don't." or the EU's countries, USA's problem's are regarding cultural integration, since no one is forced to integrate the host's nation, which makes it have a low coesian between citezan's, and ultimatly it created what we see now. Kinda like a late stage of what sweden and france are suffering regrading them not forcing new migrant arrival's to integrate, the host's social norms.

"It's like, you don't invest everything in cooperating with like Congo or Ukraine, because you are not sure they will get a totally new govt. next year that wants do do the opposite thing." but you cannot magicly guess what will happen next year.
