If you're Germany, Poland, Taiwan, South Korea, or Japan right now, you should probably assume the U.S. is an unreliable ally and try to get your own nuclear deterrent.

It’s like the people in charge assume the post-war US influence is just the way things are supposed to be and not the result of a lot of aid and effort
After all is said and done, Zelenskyy will be hailed a hero. Statues will be built to his image, but Orange Turd's burial plot will get pissed on 'til the end of time!
Trump and Vance doing Putin‘s Job. Wow, impressiv. Americans must be so proud. Just disgusting. Time to ignorieren the US a long as this Gang is in charge
We just witnessed the us president shake down a sovereign leader on behalf of his suzerain. Poland should immediately pull its kids out of school to assemble rifles and mortar shells
It's as little as 6 months to a crude fission bomb for each of these AFAIK. Germany may have trouble with fissile material after scrapping its nuclear program. Feel free to correct me.
Add Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, and a few others to that list. Oh, I forgot Australia and New Zealand. I have never been more embarrassed for our country.
Starmer really needs to be putting up my taxes. We need to be tooling up to make sure Putin doesn't get any more ideas. And that new kit needs to be European. Not a penny for the US.
Yeah, we need to go through everything and decouple as much as possible. Also we need to somehow get our spare nuclear warheads back from storage in the US.
Yes, our betrayal of democracy has real logistical impacts too. Europe needs that 6th gen fighter faster than before. Especially if we, America, is lining up with the new axis of evil.
Might talk to Australia about changes to AUKUS too…I don’t think we’ll answer any calls about the South China Sea or the region broadly. At what point does intelligence cooperation cease? You cannot trust us any more…
EU/UK might consider a modern Manhattan project where they drain the USA of weapons development, research and manufacturing talent through special immigration programs. I suspect plenty of us would rather carry the passport of freedom and democracy and practice our trades in service of the same.
This is correct; I would suggest a coalition ramp-up spend sufficient to require and allow European companies like BAE, Airbus, Thales, Leonardo, and Dassault to exit US defense and cease contract support on existing assets. Freedom and democracy are more important than my flag…
Thankfully the two current leaders of those nations are sufficiently capable, mature & world aware - and, crucially, mutually respectful - to do just that
These nations are run by intelligent people who don't have to pretend that Trumpists are good-faith actors, so I presume they are orienting their defense and intelligence assets away from America.
If you share intelligence with the US right now, assume Putin will be reading it too.

should establish diplomatic relations with Ukraine 🇺🇦 .
Other American states can join us to form a sub-federal alliance with Ukraine and NATO.
Americans are in danger under the reckless pro-Russian regime currently in residence in our Oval Office.
Those of us who have had to accept USA bullying behind closed doors... today said "we can't trust the USA"
WE LOST ALLIES
Other nations are going to create a new NATO where USA is not part of it. If we get hit, they are not coming to our side.

These are the exact nations most likely to make this conclusion and start programs. Maybe one of the Nordic nations will join the list. And Australia has to at least start giving it thought.
They probably are developing at least extremely short breakouts (and these countries never were that long), want to know how fast they can build a bomb and making it shorter, otherwise we'll know from spies who has a secret bomb, or somebody just tests

Because we can go from assume to assure that Trump/Musk wouldn't, per A Lion in Winter, "Piss on us if we were on fire."
The US is only #1 re guns & money, which WAS balanced by moral-ish leadership...
That balance is now gone with the orange bloviator.
Did the saber rattling work on Sadam?
That said, most nations probably will look into development or procurement with a quickness, after this.
Unfortunately our rafales aren’t itar fre… oh wait, they are.
What could go wrong?

Stay the fuck away.
