While they are Shia, and most terrorists nowadays are Sunni, they still hold vast influence in the region

I think Saudi Arabia and Israel are only not collapsing because of US support

If Islam is going to reform and modernize, it will have to come from a grass roots Movement out of Iran or maybe Turkey.

It won't come from Northern Africa or the Arabian Peninsula or the Levant. Just not possible.

I think a warming of political ties with Russia and Iran is just common sense

And the Intermarium should be its own 3rd party political force of Eastern Europe, separate from EU or Russia

(I.e. Poland Ukraine etc)

It's possible that parts of Ukraine including Crimea will remain a part of the Russian sphere.

But there were many ethnic Russians in those areas.

A true Intermarium will be able to act as a force against both Western Europe and Russia

And without the US as an enemy, Iran's more radical elements will lose favor

Hungary, Poland, these should be the new close allies of the USA

I agree.

As the cultural war is basically all that is left between us and some totalitarian 1984 shit. (Aka invasive communism where children report on their parents to the secret police)

The UK can't be a good ally as long as they keep doing literally everything anti-American they can to appease the Remain crowd.

But the Visegrad Group is definitely an American ally

Same for Austria et al

Yea, Austria has shown a lot of promise. Even with the Green Party election, they used their military long before that to secure their border while Germany was still letting people in

Nice, thank you Bot 👍🏻

@Nuke Theresa May has done a horrible job with fulfilling the Brexit mandate

So much so that people don't even talk about Brexit anymore

It's as if Brussels won when Theresa May was put forward as the new Prime Minister

Germany and Belgium are the worst offenders from a policial perspective

Followed by U.K. And Sweden

UK govt has shown itself incapable of fulfilling the will of the people

It's strongest Brexit supporters were needed as leadership and instead they placed an anti-Brexit May in charge

Historically "Bad" actors like Turkey, Iran, and Russia shouldn't be on the receiving end of political deals per se, no of course not. That is reserved for actual friends. But they should be allowed financial freedoms.

Meanwhile Germany and Belgium should be hit with economic sanctions until they l Ave the EU (sanctions imposed by non EU members)

Until they leave the EU

Thoughts

Why Greece?

How is the UK not our allie?

Other than that I agree

They helped send soldiers to both Afghanistan and Iraq

Russia, China, South America, India and Japan (and USA) should form an independent trading bloc, put tarrifs on Sweden, France, and U.K., and most EU member states, and absolutely sanction/blockade Germany and Belgium.

In addition USA should enact a travel ban on anyone from Germany and Belgium

A 6 month ban

As a statement

@Walter Johnson , the U.K. Govt no longer has the mandate of the people. They have been sabotaging Brexit, are enacting internet censorship and are jailing comedians on top of everything else
