    Our european leaders have gotten lazier and lazier over time, with eastern block countries heavily affected by corruption and populist nationalistic propaganda has been spreading like wildfire recently.

    It’s time to get off our high horse and start investing in ourselves more and stop looking up to anyone else. They are not better than us, they were made to appear so and we’ve been just taking everything at face value.

    We have both the manpower and the resources, we just need to be more united and support and push for more relevant policies in our countries.

    Dunno, maybe it’s wishful thinking , but I just don’t want to be defined by what other countries say or do. We have to think for ourselves.

    About half of us are still with you. This will happen to you too if you don’t keep the wealthy in check

      This is the part that saddens me the most. I don’t care if America burns, we deserve it. It’s all the bridges burning at the same time that hurts.

      Unfortunately trust doesn’t work that way. When you betray alliances, trust is broken and it would take a fundamental change in the US political system and many decades to rebuild that trust.

      This isn’t Trump’s first term. This isn’t an interruption of America being it’s true self. Biden was the interruption, Trump is the new normal of what America is to the world. Even if a Democrat wins the next election (if there is one) no one can trust that the US won’t go back to someone like Trump in a future election.

      The US is at best an unreliable ally and at worst an adversary. That’s just how it is now.
