I doubt there's any way to rebuild the trust the UK and European countries had in the US.

I don’t really know what you people need to see till it breaks through and your fucking head. He’s doing everything he can to help Putin I mean look at a spokesman. They’re fucking so excited in Russia. They haven’t had this much luck forever. Trump is a fucking Russian spy.

Dictator Trump is Putin’s Trojan horse inside the gates. The best nonviolent solution is to have billionaires ,who don’t want to be extorted by Dictator Trump, hire lobbyists to impeach Dictator Trump because that’s how shit gets done in Washington,everyone knows it.

The global post war order was predicted on American stability.

The world discounted Trump I as an aberration, especially after we followed him with an institutionalist.

But we've now done it twice and the world will never trust us again.

We are not getting the genie back in the bottle.

It's sad to say, but no country should trust our loyalty or support until Trumpism and its effects are overthrown. This will take YEARS to correct.

What I’ve wondered since musk started infiltrating the various agencies is where were the law departments? Shouldn’t they have been the front line? How did musk gain access of all the departments with such great alacrity? How did the IRS fend him off? With their lawyers. It’s a mystery to me. (1/2)

preciouslarue.bsky.social•21 hours ago

2) Of course, I don’t know how it works with the government but I’ve wondered about this since the whole demolishing our govt-thing started.

It is going to be incredibly difficult for any future US president to negotiate with other nations.

Hopefully our allies will realize it’s him, not us. After all, Biden got us back into NATO after he got elected.

Any recovery, if it happens at all, is years or decades away. Bomb throwing is easy, quick, and damaging. The builders who come behind face a long timeline for the successful completion of reconstruction. Musk is perhaps the most evil bomber we have ever seen in the US. He is a disgusting man.

The problem you have is your volatility for the last decade. Other countries can't make agreements if you're only going to keep or drop them or will attempt to renegotiate them decades later like the Panama Canal on a 4 year election cycle.
