The United States is very divided to the Left and Right at the moment almost to the point of being called "The Divided States of America". On the other hand the EU which was not very well united is quickly becoming united. To continue in a day after day quest for retribution by both the left and the right instead of uniting one with the other will lead to exactly what Jesus spoke of. They poke themselves in each others eyes until they become completely blind. https://biblehub.com/mark/3-25.htm

What fellowship has light with darkness?

It used to be that left and right believed the same things, but differed on how to bring things about. That is no longer the case. The country is slowly moving right because they see more and more the insanity of the left. I honestly believe if the fraud was removed from elections, we would find that the country is closer to 60-40 than 50-50.

In the US ,EU news will come up just searching news but only if it pertains to the US if not you have to search for EU news specifically. Searching EU news specifically then brings the pages up that doesn't make front page type news. I saw this which would be in line with your comment of "Defending Europe" and so Greenland being Danish territory would mean it falls under NATO/EU status of territory to defend from attack. It seems Denmark is joining in along with Sweden and Norway in upping their Draft/conscription also.

Sorry, the side showed 404 and says it dont exist.
Without question, greenland belongs zo danmark.
So Greenland (1721) belongs longer to Danmark, then Alaska (1867) to the United States. Ore if you consider the land of the native indian in the USA which was taken from the US american government.
So if Trump think he has a right to occupy Greenland, then the native indian nations have a right to get their land and property back,too.

I'd like to know what Donald thinks he can accomplish by taking Greenland that can't be accomplished otherwise. They're a NATO ally with whom we've had good relations up until now. Denmark has stated unequivocally that they're willing to negotiate anything with Donald and the US. Yet Donald seem hellbent on just taking Greenland. This is something authoritarian dictators do, not legitimate statesmen.

I'm aware of Paul making the statement in the Scripture you referenced but I'm not suggesting that light embrace darkness in any manner. I agree as you say about the left and right believing the same in years past but not anymore but I wonder just how many on the left are not as much in agreement with the woke,DEI stuff as many think. I don't know if it sends the right message to say that the election process is fraudulent considering Trump just won the election. It doesn't make sense to fix something when it just worked well for you but if something is not correct then fix it I agree. My whole point in the post you quoted though was that as a nation we should be at a point where the division needs to be healed and fixed instead of dividing it even further. As a nation we are dividing ourselves from the EU/NATO(allies) along with our own citizens in the US so I was pointing out what Jesus spoke about this (it will fall if we continue in the path).

Hmm, the link no longer works here in the US either if I try to open it. What it was suggesting was NATO troop presence in Greenland in defense because they see it as a territory of the EU which would trigger a NATO response if invaded.

Interesting ideas.
But here's my take since i was born there, and got my education there.
I am pretty sure that Europe can't be united, primarily due to its past history. The whole Euro thing was done right after the fall of the Berlin wall by elitist beurocracts to counter the Dollar.
Europe can't be united mainly because of its cultural differences.
Take my birth country Albania. Although it's one nation with a defined set of borders, in reality it's 3 cultural zones. North, Center and South. I was born in the central region.
To this day i still have a very hard time understanding people from the North and have some difficulties understanding people from the South when they speak Albanian. That's how different the accent and vocabulary is.
The same thing applies to many other nations in Europe. I know of Italy and Greece well since they're my neighbors and Italy almost split in half at some point due to their cultural differences between North and South.
Also, if you're from Milan, it's pretty difficult to understand the accent of a Sicilian.
So, this whole thing of a "United Europe" is an illusion because the reality of the people there is that they don't have a lot of desire to be united. This is what the elitists beurocracts have been pushing in EU for decades with rampant immigration where it's difficult to tell if you're in Europe, Turkey or Africa anymore.

In US, it comes down to who is going to extend an olive branch first in order to reach unity.
Usually this comes when things have to get a lot worse before they get better, as we know from history.
At this point in time, it seems that the left is waking up in realizing that they are out of touch and need a new approach.
Gavin Newsom said this very same thing in the Bill Maher show where he admits that the Democratic party is toxic and that we need to talk to the other side who we call extreme, so we can understand their point of view and in-turn adjust ours.

Something to think about.

Newsom will say anything. His eye is on 2028. I will say he is about the only savvy one the socialists have. He appears to be moving to the center which he is hoping people will believe. Hopefully people will be smart enough to see what his game is.

I realize that politicians will say anything for a career in politics but the fact that he says this is quite an achievement, whether his intent is genuine or not.
Because you don't see Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer saying this.
They're in full denial like some of the low-quality trolls in this board.

Lol been wondering for months since we found out Eli was Albania when the Hoxha reference woudl get dropped and by who. Enver Hoxha is dead, he died before I was born, ya'll be old! For RP purposes though I'd propose Dictator Trump should overthrow Enver Hoxha's ghost from Albania and install the Western-born Albanian pop star trio of Ava Max, Dua Lipa, and Bebe Rexha to rule Albania and merge with all former Yugoslav and Greek nations to form the Second Eastern Roman Empire and conquer Turkey by the power of dance til you drop hypnotic pop music and pure undistilled TDS.

16 Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth. 17 They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them. 18 But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you. 19 My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you. 20 And I would willingly be present with you now, and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you.

Also to add to this @DeanM , if you'be been following the fast day to day developments, Chuck and Nancy admitted that their base "hated" them because they're doing nothing to stop Trump and wanted them to resign.
But of course Chuck and Nancy are never going to resign or even admit that their party is toxic.

While that verse is true, the Bible also has many verses about honesty and integrity.
Some things which would benefit you i think.
