We are no longer trusted anymore, Michael.
Put yourself in their shoes, can you blame them?
I can't.
We betrayed the free world, our friends with whom we were supposed to share the same values, our wonderful allies who invoked article V in response to 9/11, who fought alongside us and, in some cases, paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Our forward positioning was more for our own benefit than anyone else's.
The post-war international rules-based liberal order resulted in more prosperity than mankind had ever seen and prevented WWIII.
It was a symbiotic effort, and we couldn't have done it without the help of one another, regardless of what the propagandists tell their legions of mindless populists fools who always want a grievance and feel like they've been unfairly screwed.
We were given the benefit of the doubt after 2016.
Accidents happen.
But the word that keeps popping up, and understandably so after November 5, 2024, is "TWICE?"
November 5, 2024 said something to the world.
It told the world that Trump wasn't the biggest problem.
It spoke to a much greater problem than the criminal incompetent evil fucking worthless moron himself.
And the world has every reason to have lost its trust and confidence in us, as well as to feel threatened by us.
Ambassador, respectfully, it's over.
This is worse than you think.
To My Fellow Americans: The Canadian Door Is Ajar
When you get a chance, sit down and read this. I donโt even know how to describe it other than somebody truly listened and understood what weโre saying. https://t.co/D3Sp22WCuQ
I guess Trump threatening to take over Canada and make them a state, starting a trade war against them over a bullshit reason, and insulting them over and over, hasn't resulted in Canada wanting to help Trump.
Who could have seen that coming?
