Ok US. EU will arm themselves with weapons of our choice. Let's not choose US-weaponry, the country is too unstable.
Also, we don't count on coming to your aid against China like we did after 9/11 - The only time Art. 5 has been evoked.
Perhaps we should ramp up trade with China actually.
Their quality in household items and electronics are on par with US crap these days anyways.
The we also don't have Americans running amok in Rome destroying cultural heritage.
I know culture is foreign to US, but we care about ours.
I really do think that the EU can use China relations to their advantage. The EU has less reason to be anti-China. Guarded, yes. Worry about trade imbalance. De-risking, etc. But that should be able to be managed by competent governance. Tell the USA: Help Ukraine or we won't help with China.
I agree completely, the US has become unreliable and is heading down a path where it's highly likely that we'll see human rights violations just the same as in China.
What they are proposing in regards to immigrants sounds an awful lot like the prelude to concentration camps.
We will see if America's institutions can withstand the onslaught that is planned for them. I am not optimistic. Should they fail, liberal democracies must not behave as though nothing has changed. I await the shallow rhetoric from the press that "it's just 4 years, we must maintain the status quo".
Problem is EU doesn't speak with one voice. Difference of opinion is fine, but deliberate sabotage is not. They should create an EUv2 and exclude some countries. The EU, like the UN is not able to be reformed. So build a parallel one and do not invite those who do not play nice.
As someone from the US, Trump is more or less Putin’s puppet and is probably going to ask for an end to war based on whatever territory each army has at the time of his ascension, so that Putin can rebuild his military. If it’s any consolation he’s going to be fucking up the US even worse.
Who is the communist, the person who hopes to improve the lives of its citizens or the person who backs the communist tyrants aligned against their own country?
Ukraine cause his impeachment, he’s Putin’s bitch, so what that means is he will end funding for Ukraine and try to pull our country out of NATO. He will destroy our country from within as planned by Putin.
There won't be many problems within the US, because it is a large country with decentralized power. In foreign policy, the rhetoric of the election campaign will not apply in practice, because there are many issues of interests and the US's own and collective defense of the Western way of life.

That is, until prices skyrocket and trade is cut off and the economy crashes, the world slides in economic chaos and they'll blame it on Obama.
America. What a country!
