    Just for anyone who still holds out hope: NATO as we have known it is over. The US won’t come to the defense of the other members if they are attacked. It’s time to move on.

      This was Putin’s goal. Destabilize NATO. Crumbling US alliances is just the cherry on top.

      We are losing long friends and close allies.

      All because a plurality of voters want to feel powerful.

      Even if it’s for a brief moment.

      nor should they trust us with ANYTHING until a new administration. and only then after a long time of repair and re-establishing of long term trust.

      our rollercoaster is coming off the rails, it would be silly for 5eyes or any other allies to trust anything from this absolute shitshow.

        As long as the US does not reform its democracy there is no chance of rebuilt trust. The president now being immune against the law, the way he can dictate by executive order and the broken election system mean that there is no long term planning possible. Combine that with their utterly defunct news system and I only see them sliding further downwards.
