Interesting report from the world of diplomacy and military alliance.
The headline quotation is a direct quotation of a non-American senior official to the Americans at the meeting.
80 years of effort to build up a world of shared values burned in under a year. 80 years of soft power tossed in the compost pile and recycled into fertilizer. 80 years of blood, sweat, and tears as Americans laboured to make the world safe for America.
All gone in the tantrums of a decrepit toddler.
Indeed, USA: We genuinely will never fucking trust you again.
This I don’t get how all their allies allowed them to build bases in their countries. Like you have a stepping stone already there for them to invade you. I don’t get how the whold world has sold out to America and are no dependeant on them for “technology”. It was stupid before Trump, to be so dependant on another country. We also know the US and China are not really differnt people always say China companies are beholden to Chinese law but so are American companies beholden to American Law. Microsoft has said if they get a order for something from American government it doesn’t matter what the countries laws say they well have to follow it. So all the BS about EU citizens data has to be kept in Europe is BS as MS could just get the data fromt the US and give it to the government. Politicans are stupid it doesn’t matter where the data is stored it can be accessed anywhere.
