Domestic policy is inherently linked with foreign policy, so you can’t really separate the two. Attempting to buy Greenland is a centuries old American tradition at this point, and it is more important than ever that we have full control of it. A quick examination of a map or ideally a globe reveals why. A Mercator projection map can fool the eyes.
As far as NATO goes, Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower explained the situation in the 1950’s. He said that if US troops were still in Europe 10 years from now, then NATO will have been a failure. The USA is NATO in 2026, and we still have 10’s of thousands of troops stationed in Europe.
Democratic Socialism isn’t Marxist-Leninism, but a modern version of communism that operates quite differently than violently seizing the means of production. They probably use different terms across Europe, but it is, at its core, gay race communism that is Maoist in flavor, but still its own set of ideas that have differences in rhetoric and policy that are necessary for local adaptation. Here in the USA it was packaged as DEI and other forms of suicidal empathy that enabled the massive wealth extraction scam to operate.
I’d agree that Trump is creating something new at least as much as (if not more) than embracing any kind of traditions, but this new thing is still very grounded in American traditions.
Here in little old Lewiston, we have a council meeting tonight to appoint a new Ward 5 replacement to Iman Osman, the Mayor’s chosen candidate, voted into power in the first place because Maine has absolutely no mechanism to prevent a noncitizen and a nonresident from registering to vote and casting a vote. None whatsoever. If that problem, which exists in nearly every blue state, is not solved, then the USA will not be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, which won’t work out well for anyone in the world.
Rumor has it that a majority of the council will vote to appoint Osman’s attorney to the Ward 5 seat, who is also the son of the political editor of Maine’s largest newspaper and a full-blown Democratic Socialist. The only legitimate candidate on the ballot in the actual election has been endorsed by hundreds of locals, the police union, and the firefighters union, but not the Somali diaspora in Lewiston. They wanted the guy who ran for office from a condemned meth house and received mass shooting donations for his fake nonprofit, currently under indictment for firearms theft charges.
You can’t make this stuff up at all, but it is reality in 2026.
