I bet the Hungarians will love a certain element of the military.
Of course. I'm sure the Japanese have given them a 5 star recommendation.

Why are their troops still in Germany? Still guarding the wall?  That whole East Germany thing was kind of cool. It was a great feature of the Cold War.

When I was in, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was a staging area of sorts. My unit was a quick reactionary force that had a sister fleet of tanks mothballed in Germany. If something should happen, hey just sent us by plane. The equipment was already there. It was meant for an attack by the Soviet Union. We  were set to go to the Mideast during the Yom Kippur war, but it was over before we had a chance to go.  I really don't know why we're there now.

That was the threat behind the Cold War - 10,000 Soviet tanks rushing across the border of East and West Germany.....better days.

Democrats have worked tirelessly since then to cheapen and devalue what it means to be American.

We were the good guys and still are. Sometimes we need a leader like Trump or Reagan to remind us of that.

Construction crews have arrived outside the White House to dismantle the Black Lives Matter street mural.

"The Trump administration is canceling 83% of programs at the US Agency for International Development and intends to fold the remaining programs under the State Department, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday."


And good riddance to that organized crime racket.

"...X might be the victim of DDOS attacks, which is causing the social network to go up and down. The engineers at X are taking steps to resolve and secure the service while attackers are finding new ways to get around the defenses and bring the popular social network down again.

Now that it's working again, you can see an X post above about the possibility of a DDOS attack and even claiming that Dark Storm Team is responsible for the attacks."
