yanks have never been reliable allies, just ask the people they left in Afganistan as one of the more recent examples
The Euros are convinced that
will come through and spare them. It will be interesting watching them realize that’s not quite the case.
“Becoming” less reliable.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
With a divided electorate and gridlock in Congress, the next American president could easily become consumed by manifold challenges at home — before even beginning to address flashpoints around the world, from Ukraine to the Middle East.
In campaign speeches, Trump remains skeptical of organizations such as NATO, often lamenting the billions the U.S. spends on the military alliance whose support has been critical to Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion.
Politics at University College London, said that whoever wins the presidential race, the direction of travel will be the same – toward a multipolar planet in which the United States is no longer “the indisputable world superpower.”
Germany is the second-largest donor of military aid to Kyiv, behind the U.S., but Scholz recently told German weekly Die Zeit that the country couldn’t fill any gap on its own if “the U.S.A. ceased to be a supporter.”
China, where leaders’ initial warmth toward Trump soured into tit-for-tat tariffs and rising tensions, little changed under Biden, who continued his predecessor’s tough stance toward the United States’ strategic rival.

Kissinger’s more of an egoist of image than a realist about it
Word should be gotten to Nixon that if Thieu meets the same fate as Diem, the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.

How I’m missing yer
You’re the Doctor of my dreams
With your crinkly hair and your glassy stare
And your machiavellian schemes
I know they say that you are very vain
And short and fat and pushy but at least you’re not insane
Henry Kissinger
How I’m missing yer
And wishing you were here
Henry Kissinger
How I’m missing yer
You’re so chubby and so neat
With your funny clothes and your squishy nose
You’re like a German parakeet
All right so people say that you don’t care
But you’ve got nicer legs than Hitler
And bigger tits than Cher
Henry Kissinger

The first Trump administration stress-tested the bonds between the U.S. and its allies, particularly in Europe. Trump derided the leaders of some friendly nations, including Germany’s Angela Merkel and Britain’s Theresa May, while praising authoritarians such as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. He has called China’s Xi Jinping “brilliant” and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán “a great leader.”
This is so stupid. Trump was the one who started a trade war with China. Him praising Xi doesn’t mean shit.
Secondly, despite claiming to be anti-west, Erdogan and Orban are both pro-West allies and will fall in line under pressure. Both countries are NATO members too btw. Why is such a democratic organization like NATO having “authoritarian” countries as members?
Also why is there no mention of Modi? Both Biden and Trump have been more than friendly with him.
Trump’s Israel policy is no different. He is more belligerent towards Iran.
In campaign speeches, Trump remains skeptical of organizations such as NATO, often lamenting the billions the U.S. spends on the military alliance whose support has been critical to Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion.
Rhetoric and actions are entirely different. Trump knows very well that Ukraine War is ultimately beneficial for the U.S. and the MIC.
Another thing to keep in mind, U.S. is NATO, without the U.S there is no NATO.
He warned: “We must realize that the EU cannot be an economic and civilizational giant and a dwarf when it comes to defense, because the world has changed.”
That has been the status of Europe since end of cold war, a puppet of American capitalism, nothing more. And nothing will change unless there is a socialist revolution or something.
Wait what now? Trump knows something about foreign policy? Not a chance, bub. Trump doesn’t know squat. Other than being an effective distraction from his handlers so the ones actually pulling the strings can stay out of the public’s general awareness. But, then again, he’s stupid enough to think he matters, so I doubt he even realizes he has handlers.
Trump doesn’t do strategy. Period. He’s dumber than a stack of bricks, and you know it. So, no, there is absolutely no ulterior motive. There is no plan. He has no ability to think ahead. He has never had to take any actual responsibility, and is therefore utterly incapable of anything other rash impulsive stupidity.
Giving that loser any credit just makes you sound like a complete idiot. Just don’t. Please.
Rhetoric and actions are entirely different
Yes, but libs can’t tell a difference. They don’t even need different rhetoric, just tone usually.
Canada has straight up said we have a doomsday plan if the US goes really wonky.
Do we have a doomsday plan if a fascist becomes prime minister like Pierre Poilievre?
Sadly I’m bracing for what I think is the coming Trump/Poilievre combo.
I see him as more of an opportunist catering to fascists. But no, if the call is coming from inside the house, it’s a much bigger problem.
Which one? Defence Scheme 1?
No, way more recent, and not public yet, for obvious reasons.
Link to an article.
sounds like a grift to funnel more cash into the military ngl.
That’s more of an American thing. The Canadian military is small, run down and getting smaller.
That’s the plan…
It’s going to be this way every election, ain’t it? Basically two year election cycle of Trump once again running, all the fears of him winning, then he looses, and we get next 4 years of him talking shit and “raising concerns”.

It’s not about Trump (the dude may not even live much longer, he looks awful).
It’s about all the people who support his values and way of thinking and use him as a distraction while they erode democratic rights and processes. America is undergoing a tremendous divide which may lead to the federation coming apart and individual states breaking away. That’s what’s worrying the rest of us, not the POTUS making a fool of himself on TV.

God I wish, US’s balkanization would be such a blessing to the entire world.
It would be hilarious for sure

That sounds like an overall good thing though? Especially for the rest of the world.
Does it? I’m not looking forward to whichever side decides they want part of Canada.
Why though?

I am enlightened by your answer.
I really don’t see him running in 2028. I don’t think his health/Republican money would both line up and support that
Citizens think it’s becoming unreliable regardless of who’s president.
Sure are a lotta bots in this thread
^ found one
Allies fear the US is becoming less reliable, with growing concern over a possible Trump return
Europeans realizing they’re not America’s core interest after spending two years talking up a war with Russia is never going to stop being hilarious.
When can I, an international with an interest in the US election, commit money to a political party? Or do I need to be a corporation?
Just apply to open a LLC in a business friendly city online. Now you can funnel money to our politicians legaly from anywhere in the world.
If I had the money I will support Cornel West, but I guess he’s too good for the US
You could just bet on the election.
If you want to waste your money a more efficient route is flushing it down your toilet
