France was our first ally. We literally wouldn’t have a country without the support- men, materiel, and money- that they provided for the Revolution. This is heartbreaking and infuriating, all in one stupid-ass orange package.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." So, now as we did once before long ago, we true patriots working to defeat the oppressors on our own soil should once again call on them, and others tossed aside by this regime, to join with us in a mutually beneficial alliance.
Europe should get itself militarily ready, trained, and the entire continent has to get firmly/unitedly positioned to fight off Trumpnov, and RussiaGOP. This is a portion of the Signal exchange:
Sadly how we feel in Canada, too.
Like our Prime Minister Carney said, we're over the shock of the betrayal (of the United States' hostility and aggression toward us and other allies), and are uniting as a country to defend ourselves and grow closer to our more reliable allies like France. #ElbowsUp
Use that angry part to fuck them up. Get out there on the street and tell them we are not having it. They can’t have all this without us. There’s only a few hundred billionaires and they need millions of people to make their food and their other crap.
Don't think healthcare will be an option for most people if the Trump regime isn't deposed. The country is headed for a deep, financial depression so jobs with healthcare may soon be a distant memory 🤷♀️
Truth. But convincing everyone is proving amazingly difficult. 🙄
Unfortunately, history shows us that most people won't revolt until After things get really bad. And I agree, it's going to get really bad, really quickly.
So so sad that this has happened.
Many of us Americans are on your side and are appalled at this overthrow of our country.
Too bad all of them are cowards.
The French disappointment in America is kind of the worst because we both owe our freedom to the other.
The French are wondering why we aren't in the streets already. They'd have taken a flamethrower to this place by now.
The problem is that we are dealing with Trump and MAGA, not the sane USAmericans. So, unfuck this and can go back to being allies. Until then it’s adversaries verging on enemies 🤷🏻♂️
I wouldn't trust the USA going forward. Not fully. Even if Democrats someday get the presidency and Congress. Trump's second term proves that his first was not a fluke. The U.S. will forever be a maximum of 4 years away from an unpatriotic gangster at the helm. How does one ally with that?
We must however not overdo it. Final split with US is on muskovy's dreamlist. Current administration indeed looks and acts as, and hence probably is held by some sensitive organ by the ruzzia, though... We must stand on our own therefore. If US still is an ally good, if not, bad, but we must manage.
My late Grandpa was a WWII veteran who served in the US Navy. Grandparents were from Buffalo but also loved Canada, and moved to Ontario in 1962.
Grandpa loved going to the Canadian Legion hall in Stoney Creek when they visited us. Canadian and American vets were friends. Wonder if they still are.
i saw a video y’day of a woman in tears saying that she never wants to hear from another “redhat” again…
in the background her veteran husband was crying out in Agony…doge fired his trauma psychologist…he found out when he showed up for his appointment…he was losing it…his stricken wife, helpless…
I feel what you feel. I will protest as much as I can. I’m learning how to resist. And I say goodness, humanity and empathy are what makes a “WIN”, so I will fight peacefully because I am not made out of their fiber of random unnecessary viciousness. But I will be PASSIONATE in my Peaceful Protest.🇺🇸
America cannot be surprised that it has no allies left. Trump has turned his back on every friend America has had. French, German and Canadian citizens have been detained by ICE. Often for no serious reason.
That part made me so incandescent with rage that I’m surprised I didn’t just burst into flames. They’re the worst of the worst. They see everyone & everything as *things*, to be exploited & extorted. 😠😤😡🤬🤯
I am so sorry. I don’t blame you at all. Just know that many in this country didn’t vote for this rot fest pissing all over our constitution, our ally’s, humanity or the world. Many of us are doing everything we can to cure this fascist disease that has taken over.
Same for us. Feels like a breakup... except instead of tears, there is rage.
America fooled everyone while accumulating a nuclear arsenal that could kill us all. We changed our currency to the US dollar to keep the US economy dominant. We fought all the wars with em.
It's either going to expand, or fragment, based on studying maps of empires. It will eventually end, but it could expand first. We'll have to wait and see. Sucks being around Toronto knowing we're being eyeballed hard for full access to the Great Lakes. 😅
Will be watching for that. The empire is in an era of desperation and shady shit because of imminent and inevitable collapse. It'll be very strange to observe all this in our lifetimes. 🙃
Considering a lot of americans are of european heritage and proudly wear it, i was wondering if an american attack against Europe would not end in civil war in the USA. No way american people would back their government.
I'd like to think so but by now americans should be on strike and they aren't.
It will take generations for the US to regain any trust… MAGA USA is deeper than the jackass in the WhiteHouse.. it has infiltrated the American DNA.. it is who they are now.
It'll take longer than that. The people that voted for this regime, have been radicalised by propaganda and disinformation. That doesn't all just disappear when someone less fascist is in control. It will take generations.
Or a strong hand to enforce operant conditioning. Libs had every opportunity to hold Trump and his pedophile cabinet accountable and they didn't. His terrorist group were all let go. He got away with more felonies than most criminals thanks to the current justice system. Negotiations are over.
Canada too. It's more than that here. The USA is an enemy, one that we're still unfortunately attached at the hip with. Even if Dems win everything next election, it only reduces the temperature and buys 4 years of seething instead of vitriol.
Unbelievable how we got here. I'm f'ing pissed off! What was my grandfather's, father's and my service for? Man children, white dei hires, to destroy it all for personal gains? Disgusting.
I heard an American lobbyist on the BBC last night claiming that the poorest state in america has a higher gdp than France. Mississiapins must be delighted today at the gdp of their state (from $1.9b to $1.4tr overnight). Well done mississippi. Keep up the good work!
The French see the opportunity. Congress allowing the President to shred the Constitution tells the rest of the world all they need to know. The minute a President says out loud that we’ll sell allies inferior arms, because they might not always be allies, the US is cooked internationally. Idiocy…
As an American, the corruption runs so fucking deep in this country. Let it burn to the ground then, maybe we can start to rebuild or be sold off to the highest bidder.
MAGA: “Boy I sure love having a President who doesn’t get involved in pointless, endless wars, not like you rotten demon rats, hyuk! Huh? Wait, he did what…?”
Ive been surprised to finally hearing French journalists saying this out loud, talking the truth about trump honestly and out loud. And happy about it.
So there Europe is, having bought US military equipment (a.o. F35, weaponry) for literally Trillions, yes Trillions, of $$$, they are now written of as lazy and stuck with an enemy that controls their defenses. Who needs enemies with friends like the US.
The shot heard around the world was when Jay Dee Vance heavy handedly shot his mouth off about Zelensky not paying verbal tribute and Trump seconded it!
Can we all agree on one thing, Trump is not running the show. He's the star but his own lackeys have shown that this is a swiss cheese oligarchy. Republic of Switzerland please forgive!
That's right. We're no longer an ally. We are an alley, a dark, scary alley full of useless trash populated by an increasing number of thugs and racist.
The French have always understood how the US operates and you can see this now as they have a self reliant defence strategy, the Swedes along with the Finns are similar so long term they will be the big winners in Europe as the EU starts to look after itself. The UK? Sat outside looking in 🤔
Unfortunately many countries feel this way. I never, in my 60 plus years, thought the world order would be destroyed by the man who calls himself president of the USA
🥺 And we are so sorry. 😔
We are attempting to wrest the controls from the toddlers, but are finding it's like parents trying to catch toddlers with something they shouldn't have while grandparents and siblings watch them instead of assisting, giggling maniacally with sadistic glee at the effort.
China has an opening, they will take it. They will provide aid to the developing world and they will see China as their saviour and the United States as their betrayor.
Spread the word: because that’s the truth. No one should trust American diplomacy- they are all incompetent and very willing to bully their allies into submission.
Years ago prior to the invasion of Ukraine, putin said his aim was to change the then world order. Who would have thought it would have been as simple as getting trump re-elected
I don’t think the Americans get the incandescent rage that exists here in Canada. The famous American blind spot when it comes to Canada is still firmly in place.
The majority of us voted against this mockery. We are resisting each in our own way. It saddens me that we would all be painted with the same brush. Especially those of us who love and support Canada - vacationing there, visiting, respecting each person we encounter.
Incandescent rage?
2010 Olympic Hockey final !!!
jk...I used to live in MN, and have gone to many Tragically Hip concerts. The Canadians are my most beloved cousins. We will fight this insanity together.
Oh for some Canucks, it might; but for a large majority of us, it won't. Their country has rotted to its core and there is only one way to get rid of the infestation. Just voting ppl out won't do it.
No coincidence that PAL courses are booked up for months in Ontario, at least in my area they are. All of the sudden people who never hunted or had interest, suddenly do. Weird.
Parroting russian talking points on Ukraine, fantasizing about annexing land from another nato member? The list goes on and on.. you guys lost the cold war in 2025
JD speech at Munich security conference. He was absolutely crystal clear that the US is NOT on Europe side, but on Russia side. Just listen to it, it's quite something. And the treats on Greenland too I guess. When Trump tell it, some people still think it's a bad joke, when it's JD, not quite.
Well, as a French, I can tell you: not quite. There is a gradation between the statements “US are not allies anymore” and “US are ennemies”. Friendship between EU and US is in a kind of limbo, in brackets until you get rid of this Administration…the sooner, the better.😼
We’re probably in between the two statements right now. But listening to Trumps statements about taking Greenland with military force, I see no difference between Trump and Putin. Americans have very little time - not four years - to save their democracy from becoming a fascist state.

I felt ashamed living in France during the Reagan era. This must be far worse.

That does actually mean that we all own every single thing this govt does.
🙏🏼🇺🇸🕊️
but for veterans? people who put their lives on the line to uphold the very opposite of this?…all this must be Agonizing
Grandpa loved going to the Canadian Legion hall in Stoney Creek when they visited us. Canadian and American vets were friends. Wonder if they still are.
and family...i am canadian myself, but my father was a us war vet too...a marine...my oldest brother and half my extended family is american...
canadians are pissed af at trump and his minions but we don't blame sane americans...
in the background her veteran husband was crying out in Agony…doge fired his trauma psychologist…he found out when he showed up for his appointment…he was losing it…his stricken wife, helpless…
how many others will be allowed to suffer like that before trump and his smug, ignominious, brown-shirted DREGS are stopped?
my heart can’t hold what i am feeling right now…

America is a fucking snake.
They'll accept me. Canada won't. I am an unemployed web designer out of tech school

The people are always ahead of their politicians.

DeGaulle was correct not to trust the English speaking world.
“We like to tone them down about 10 percent, which probably makes sense because someday maybe they’re not our allies, right?” the president said.

And that we were vilified
And that we were right: no WMD were found, and after a few months the irakies started shooting at the occupiers.
But tbh never thought the occupation would be so botched.
🇨🇦💪
Don't go into the alley.
They hate us!
They are no longer a reliable ally for any European country.
And definitely not one you would share any sensitive intelligence with!!
Trump and his incompetent minions have completely wrecked the trust built up over 80 years
The US can no longer be trusted, and is no longer an ally to anyone but Russia. BY DESIGN OF THE REGIME.
We are attempting to wrest the controls from the toddlers, but are finding it's like parents trying to catch toddlers with something they shouldn't have while grandparents and siblings watch them instead of assisting, giggling maniacally with sadistic glee at the effort.
China has an opening, they will take it. They will provide aid to the developing world and they will see China as their saviour and the United States as their betrayor.
The US is an ally to Russia, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Sorry world.
Love: a sane American.
That’s been clear for months.
This orange buffoon is doing generational damage to our economy, our security, and our overall standing in the world.
Our grandchildren will still be dealing with the fallout.

Sorry to break it to you.
American can be France ally.
USA is not.
You do not start trade wars with an ally, neither you threaten them.
