Trakākais ir, ka daudziem cilvēkiem LU šis viss šķita pilnībā OK. Vēl arvien šķiet - nekāda rīcība vēl nav bijusi.

Te ļoti daudz iebildumu pret negatīvi slaveno TeenSTART pētniecisko projektu, kas tapis ar LU finansiālo atbalstu, taču nav (!) balstīts jaunākajās zinātniskajās atziņās.

Kategoriski noraidu sacījienu, ka Trampa darbības ir ļoti OK, jo lika Eiropai sapurināties un beidzot gādāt par savu drošību. Tas būtu tāpat kā teikt:"Re, cik labi, ka tavs kauslis kaimiņš tev izsita durvis un tev sadeva pa muti, jo tu beidzot biji spiesta saņemties dārgām bleķa durvīm un atslēgām."

Denmark and EU kept diplomacy open while signalling credible deterrence: invasion would be costlv and resisted militarily; tariffs would lead to EU retaliation.
This pushed the issue into US domestic politics, where this was highly unpopular and would have wasted Trump's limited political capital.

Since beginning his second term as president, Donald Trump has done just about everything balance-of-threat theory warns against, and with predictably negative results.

Trampisms Latvijas politikā nav tikai Š.
Nacionālās apvienības (migrācijas) retorika ir "copy paste" no Trampa, neskatoties uz to, ka Latvijā tā nav problēma.
ZZS savukārt ir trampveidīga jau kopš 90. gadiem, jo aiz tās stāv trampveidīgs oligarhs ar alternatīvu un uz austrumiem vērstu skatījumu.
