Becomes Trump a dictator?

[Squigglylines]

I re-read and I think I have a better understanding, although not really clear.
However, I think my view is that certain people have benefited from these alliances while others have not.

I see it interesting the discussions the EU is having concerning this in that if they agree to the 2% of GPD of the original agreement with NATO by 2030 they will have a military large enough to take on the US and China at the same time(not that this is their intention but a description of what it would generate in size). The Axis nations were not suppose to do this because of the final statement with Germany and other surrender agreements(Axis nations) but it seems they will now because of the current situation. I say this because of the benefits between the involved nations which were always a bit lop-sided because of those agreements so it would need to be a give take type negotiation for it to now balance fairly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Final_Settlement_with_Respect_to_Germany

Bible Verses on Invaders

The Bible contains several references to invaders. One notable verse is from Genesis 14:14, which describes Abram mobilizing his trained men to pursue invaders as far as Dan.1 Another verse, Daniel 11:16, states that the invader will do as he pleases and no one will be able to stand against him.4 Additionally, Jeremiah 5:6 uses imagery to describe invaders as predators ready to pounce and kill.5 These verses illustrate the presence of various invasions and the reactions they provoke in biblical narratives

Yes with Gods help Abram was victorious or as in the others if God permits an nation to overwhelm another and carry them into captivity men and their nations will not stand. Some trust in chariots and others in horses but we trust in the NAME OF THE LORD OUR GOD. Psalms 20:7 https://biblehub.com/psalms/20-7.htm We should consider that 13 small colonies once resisted the worlds superpower in their day and was victorious by Gods help and know with all faith an simple nation with Gods approval may come from no chance to victory if it is Gods will.

Well, the Donald seems to have gotten what he wanted. He's knee-deep in litigation, and this seems to be what gives him the most happiness in life; so he should be happy for some time to come.

The stories I am hearing are frightening.

Due process is a thing though. The guy who was deported to El Salvador had legal refugee status

I agree the Federal Immigration judges are who needs to be doing these things.

Some of the world hates America anyway. Everyone is a critic basically.
Especially when your so called good for nothing allies do nothing but criticize you while you feed them and protect them.
It’s the same in sports.
A lot of people respect the number 1 player but quite a few hate the number 1 player and want to beat him and see him fall.
But everyone has their time and place despite all the hate and everything else in-between.

The United States of America is not #1.

Now they are claiming it was a clerical error

We are all human and do err lets be patient and see if it will be worked out.

Someone definitely needs to be held accountable for this. I hope he sues the doo doo out of them

It must be time then for the tree to shift from one to another and for us to let God decide who will next be seen as the tree where the nations and peoples will find the shade, the safety and food. After all the words we are hearing is that we cannot any longer afford to do this so let another superpower rise and become the worlds world leader.

I don't believe Trump has any intention of continuing or managing our nation's decline. All are welcome to partake, but none are immune from contributing.

The United States of America is not #1.

Many people who live in the United States of America want the United States of America to be #1 so they can pretend they can get to heaven without being of the elect.

Agree nation to nation if this how the USA is going to behave, erratic, irresponsible other nations will move away and form other unions which is already happening.

Yeah the rest of the world is not too impressed right now.

But let's not kid ourselves, the USA gives/protects for its own self-interests, even as its own corporations and leaders have over the past 60 years (post Kennedy) have slowly sold it out.

Exactly and finally!
You take care of your maple syrup and USA will take care of everything else internally.
USA is definitely not impressed either with the behavior of its spoiled allies.

Look at the clown show we have in office. A guy who bankrupted four casinos, a guy who did a Nazi salute on worldwide TV, A guy who thinks vaccines cause autism as head of department of health, A WWE promoter for department of education.
Switzerland built the hadron collider in Americans think science is satanic.

Oh and remember when Elon said empathy is a weakness? I know I get slammed a lot on here for being liberal but conservatives are incapable of empathy which is why I'm not conservative

Compared to what the Left had to offer this guy was and is 10 times better as evidenced in the trifecta win in the election.

Meanwhile, we still buy oil from the country that killed 3,000 Americans

Also logic. Such debates frequently expose flaws in reasoning and logic, from who has the burden of proof with respect to the claimed shape of the Earth, and then other logical fallacies invoked such as genetic and bandwagon fallacies (but there are often many more!) It can be a world of fun (or bitterness! ), 'though I'm not intending a retirement any time soon or in a manner like Andy Kaufman.

I agree.
When you see and hear and the proof is obvious based on these two senses alone, then the burden of proof is on the flat earther to prove anything he has to prove in Andy Kaufman style or not.

If you read the writings of the people in this Musk clique, you will see how elitist they truly are, they think by virtue of their success they have the right to rule everyone else.

Makes me sick that he stated "empathy is weakness" that is how a narcissist thinks, which makes me wonder they say narcissists are drawn to other narcissists.

Any Christian admiring, defending Musk needs to go back to the Bible. End of Story.

Aww you're very much like him too.
You seek recognition for helping the "weak" Americans in wars, while criticizing the "dumb" Americans in wars while having no clue on history and all the while listening to conspiracy theories.
You're a lot of fun.

 

[Eli1]

I look at this way, in the grand scheme of things this to me as Christian, the callousness that it embodies, is yuck and consequential.

View attachment 275065

Believing the earth is not a sphere I do not think has a lot of societal consequence.

My view anyway.

Hahaha yes the Earth is flat and nobody tried to assassinate Trump but listen to ME guys, i have all the knowledge.
Good one Canadian.

 

[Eli1]

I was thinking of this too when you mentioned Musk's statement on empathy.

View attachment 275066

That's the truth right there.
You Canadians are not weak, right?

 

[Eli1]

Where we differ here is why I consider Flat Earth to be of greater consequence - my view is that the godless lies of the Big Bang, Evolution (and to come - Aliens) could not have survived or survive without incubating within the lie of Heliocentrism.

Yes, and i think also in your repertoire you also mentioned that the Holocaust was fake, if i'm not mistaken?
That's how these jokes go. You start with light humor and then you offend millions of people who died.
And if you're serious about it, even worse!

 

[Eli1]

The person claiming the Earth is flat has the burden of proof. The Greeks figured out about 2,000 years ago that the Earth isn't flat

Thank you!
That was before flight, cameras, photography.

 

[Eli1]

There is always a lot of progression in the lies, one upon the other, however I am not sure that a spherical earth is a stepping stone to denying God is real, but I have not looked into it so I am a bit of an agnostic on the whole discussion.

I think I am just focused on the Geo-politics of the here and now and where it is bringing us.

Yes you're very objective on politics and you always expose everyone's lies while always speaking the truth because you're agnostic on flat earth while listening to TinFoil TV.
