Here, Peak Stupidity most refers to Western Europeans, although leaders of Poland, of the former East Bloc, seem to be down with the Western Euros too.
This welcome rift in European/American relations started with Trump, PBUH, and his brash anti-Globalist attitude seen by the world in that no holds barred interview with the Ukraine's V. Zelensky. What? Trump is not on-board the "Russia!
Next thing you know, Trump will want to get US out of the UN too, and (well, might as well - prime real estate there) get the UN out of the US!
I'm a member, super-donor, and big supporter of the John Birch Society, and I know they were saying this same thing 70 years ago. John Birch himself* was shot by Chinese Communist soldiers in 1945, and founder Robert Welch died 40 years back, but has it taken 7 decades to clue in Americans about Communist/Globalist infiltration of society? Donald Trump, even, is catching on, and he doesn't read squat.
I'm not optimistic that Trump will really extract America from the Ukraine/Russia war. However, this rift in NATO could be used to let if fall by the wayside. It's only been right at half way in history to the founding of JBS that the Cold War ended, and there was no more Warsaw Pact, without an East Bloc supported by the 35-year-gone USSR to be, well, IT. I hope Americans are catching on.
MAGA is against Globalism, as you can't be for the Nationalist America First policies and be down with Globalism. For at least the MAGA folks, it's nice to see that lots of them are not so much your "Thank you for your service" people anymore. Even those low-brow types who don't read or write for Peak Stupidity** may be catching on, due to their hanging on President Trump's every word and action, that America's military has been defending exactly Jack Squat of America until Trump's having sent a few percent of the manpower down to the Texas/Mexico border.
I got ahead of myself here, as I meant to move on to the Europeans first. For whatever reason, and I don't think it's ALL stupidity, they are under the impression that it's 1985 outside, and if they don't CONTAIN*** it, tanks will be rolling west through the Fulda Gap from
Let me modify that a bit. I don't mean the European people so much as the European leaders. OTOH, it's the people that
The British people had had enough of the Tories, alleged Conservatives, conserving absolutely nothing of Great Britain by turning the knob on the Population Replacement Programme controls up to 11. So, they kicked them out of office, knowing full well that the replacement leadership was going to be no better. ("Meet the new boss - same as the old boss" The WHO had it right. No, not THAT WHO.)
In fact the new PM, Keir Starmer, is demonstrably worse. He's down with the PRP, but he's also gone Orwellian against any resistance to it. Peak Stupidity got deeply into the riots last summer in Southport, Rotherham, and elsewhere - with 7 detailed posts here. These riots were directly motivated by immigrant violence, starting with rage about that Welshman who stabbed to death 3 little girls, goes by the name Axel Rudakabana. (Yeah, that's also fairly unpronounceable, but, no, not Welch.) However, the general rage is against the PRP.
Keif Starmer is having none of that Free Speech thing, in which people discuss the problems and argue for change. The British army started fighting a war against that sort of thing a quarter of a Millennium ago, so I suppose the man should be called a Tory. However, a character named Big Brother from 1984 fits his M.O. better. Brits who argue against their replacement and the general cause of Globalism, and I'm guessing supporting wars against Russia is part of it, should be
I honestly had to look up this guy, Olaf Scholz, Chancellor of Germany since '21. The problem for those who resist Globalism in Germany is the political system, not the one guy. Anti-Globalists around the world were happy to see the AfD (Alternative for Deutchland) party make big election gains, doubling their vote share from 10 1/2 in '21 to just under 21% to this year. Yes, Trump's coattails flutter around the world. That's good news, but the way things work there, the system can be used to keep that one anti-Globalist party from wielding power.
One has to register with The Authorities to form a political party. I'm not sure if the Nazis went through that ardous process, but the fallout from their rise and fall has resulted in a type of Hitler's Revenge.**** If the Government doesn't like your party, you can't have one. (No, don't bring up Lesley Gore, please.) Wiki has some details:
The version of the Federal Republic of Germany's Party Law current, as amended, in 2025 was enacted in 1967 and, according to the European Parliament, defines political parties as "central entities for the good functioning of democracy""Democracy"? Like in the German Democratic Republic?
The standards for the prohibition of political parties in the Federal Republic of Germany are laid-out in Article 21 of the Basic Law and Section 43 of the Federal Constitutional Court Act. According to the court, parties that "in view of their aims or the behaviour of their adherents, seek to undermine or abolish the free democratic basic order or to endanger the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany must be declared unconstitutional"."Climate of fear"? Yes, so as long as someone is scared, such as possibly 100's of thousand of government workers and the Globalist puppets like Herr Sholtz, then, no, of course you can't have your party. Anyone can say he's living in "a climate of fear". That's completely subjective. How long will it be before the AfD gets threatened with banishment for creating a climate of fear?
The court has interpreted these standards to establish two criteria for prohibition, both of which must be met. The first criteria is that a party demonstrate an "aggressive and combative attitude" that creates a "climate of fear" with the ultimate aim of abolishing the democratic order or the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany.
In 2017, the court created a second criterion for banning called "potentiality". The party in question must have the potential to actually implement its anti-democratic objectives to qualify for prohibition.
No that's no good. The people are not in a very good position to fight Globalism under these types of governments. Over here, it has been quite a struggle*****, but we've got ourselves into a better situation to fight Globalism.
Yeah, I know. A Pat Buchanan or a Ron Paul would have been much better, if even just for our collective blood pressure. However, this is the guy we've got. We've got to live with him and work with what we've got. This is not to say that Donald Trump is our savior. Hell, he's 78 years old. When Kings die, things change. Is J.D. Vance reliable as a successor to continue the work against Globalism? Maybe the Trump Administration should work with Congress this time, as I explained 4 years ago... but, wait, that IS happening. I think this guy has learned a lot.
My optimism regarding the American fight against Globalism comes not so much from Trump himself, but from knowing how many MAGA people are out there, enough to support him at big rallies for years and to get him past the amount of cheating that may have happened in '24.
MAGA is against all manner of Globalism to the extent that there is indeed some woo-woo stuff being discussed that is not all real, discussed recently by Steve Sailer in a dismissive manner. I don't agree with him. I'm not going to argue chem-trails, UFOs (well, there are unidentified drones, which, after all, FLY), Jewish space lasers, HAARP, etc. in this post, one way or the other. Then, if you want to keep going, how about "Eat zee bugs", Blackrock buying out real estate, and CDBCs (I'm not talking pot oil here), and, my favorite, the iEspionage? There's a whole spectrum of worries about Globalism, and we all have our favorite colors. I am glad we folks of the MAGA movement all work in our own ways to resist zee Globalism. As for some of the Far Out! [/John Denver] stuff, hey, better safe than sorry!
I'm more optimistic for America's chances against Globalism than Europe's. Maybe that's "because we live here!", but our political system seems to be better suited for resistance. Then too, there are the 100's of millions of guns. I know that there are times one questions why we haven't already bore them in anger, but there could be such a time. I believe this remains a worry for the Globalists. Good!
PS: I skipped France because I don't know enough about what's going on there politically. (I'd read Macron has taken a hit from the Trump election too.) Is the Yellow Vest movement still ongoing?
* I read a short book on him that the JBS sent me.
** Interpret that as you will - I left out a comma.
*** Remember the term "containment" from the Cold War? (Probably not, and I don't blame you.) It made sense then. I've heard otherwise, but if America and NATO had not contained the Soviets and China, yes, much of the world would have been brought under the light of the Communist Moon. [old Right Stuff and LBJ reference there].
**** VDare writers coined this term, but the meaning was specifically race/immigration oriented. I really wish I could link you to something here ... alas, fat-ass Leticia James.
***** Since Adolph Hitler was already mentioned once this post, this is a freebie: We've heard of Hitler's Mein Kampf, but I think Donald Trump ought to be the one to write, OK, have a guy write, My Other Struggle: How I got though the worst struggle EVER in history to become the best President since before George Washington..

PS: Ha, Alarmist very good and an uplifting reply indeed, if not to the investor group.
My friend was just talking about solar panels and the tax credits, and how I should get in on that. I mentioned that as much as it would be bad timing of me, if Trump gets those removed, it's the right thing to do. If they are worth getting, I'll get 'em. If not, I won't. I don't want the Feral Gov't deciding how we should power our houses.
BTW, I had to explain a credit v. a deduction, as this guy has no idea - never deals with the IRS.

Afternoon, Mr. Smith …. Lulz.
Hi Mr. mod. I’m in investment management. I do my part for the forces of the Good, the Truth, and the Beautiful by opposing every cockamamie ESG and Net Zero proposal that is pitched to me. I was recently pitched a solar farm deal, and shocked everyone in the room by saying, “If Sir Kier wants to take the UK to war, then I’d rather put our money in firing up British Steel, powered by UK coal, because you can’t do war with windmills and solar panels.”

PS: Yes, Alarmist, but I think even those likable Euros generally lean too far left or just too ignorant of real liberty and small-government ideas for my tastes. I'm going back a ways with this, too. They've had it very good for a long time there in Western Europe, but without any Ron Pauls and other "whacky" Constitutionalist nut-cases to possibly teach them something about it.
I like your idea. "Services" add a lot to GDP, but a lot of it is BS work that adds nothing to productivity. Are you one of those ex-pats in question, and I don't mean the unproductive ones? It sounds like you've got a varied background in a lot of areas.

I like most of the common Europeans and Brits who I know and/or meet. The elites are the problem. They look down their noses at Americans and long for the day they can take the USA down a peg and restore the world to its natural order of Europe running the world.
The “special relationship” with the Brits is the most galling aspect at play. They constantly interfere in US foreign policy and always try to use the US as the muscle to bring in the plunder they seek out in all corners of the world.
Ukraine’s resources are the latest and a great example of this reality: they are pledged three times over to the UK and select members of the EU. The best the US will get are royalties from a Special Purpose Vehicle already in place in the UK. But nobody gets nuttin’ without the USA as the enforcer.
If Mr. Trump has any sense, he’ll leave the UK and Eurotrash twisting in the wind while he focuses on restoring liberty to the best parts of Canada.
Fun fact: UK trade in goods and equipment aren’t terribly out of whack, but the Brits “export” twice as much services to the US as they import from the US. Tariffs on this would be a most effective way of taking them down a peg or two. A lot of these services include management consultants... I wonder how much of that might be Americans enjoying expat life in London, and who could be “on-shored” back in the gold ol’ USA.

PS: That was a little OT from your comment there, SafeNow. Hey, if the US hadn't antagonized Russia for the last 35 years, we could have an agreement with them regarding the ice-breaking operations up in the Western hemisphere portion of the Arctic. They could run this to get the cargo ships through in the same way we used to run the Panama Canal. (That reminds me, I wonder how that deal is coming along. Letting the Chinese run it is way off the Monroe Doctrine, but then we didn't make that policy wrt the Chinese - they weren't a factor back then...)

PS: The containment and presence both were necessary in the Cold War days, SafeNew. This presence in the Arctic now is a throwback to the days of the Cold War but also since then, the deal with being the sole superpower (remember that term from the early 1990s?) who ruled the waves, the airspace, everything. There was no reason (they figured) we shouldn't have a presence everywhere it matters.
When I think of the resources in, say, Africa, and that the Chinese are getting ac access to it, I have some thoughts that go along the lines of "we are missing out. We can't let the Chinese ..." and then realize this is not to be the period of American Empire anymore. We should be satisfied to keep everything "in house" as the corporate people (used to) say. There's no reason America can't have a great economy doing our own manufacturing again and with the resources we mostly have enough of. Anything we don't - yeah, I suppose we have to trade for it.
As for the Chinese in Africa, give the Africans someone else to bitch about.

I am of course opposed to “containment” And of course opposed to our insane wars, and our regime change, and 800 foreign military bases. And senseless foreign aid. But what about their much milder relative, “presence”? I will give an example. The U.S. is an arctic nation. The U.S. has two arctic-capable icebreakers (and one of them is often broken). Russia has 40 to 50. Shouldn’t the U.S. have a greater “presence” than 1 1/2 arctic icebreakers? To do exactly what, you might ask. I can’t make a tangible case. I guess it’s a matter of undefinable psychological impact? And I guess that’s why ”presence” is such a vague term.

This might indeed be the case. It does look that way, doesn't it?
