  • By embracing Russia and castigating Ukraine, President Donald Trump has rattled U.S. allies around the world, causing them to question if Washington is still a trusted partner.

  • Governments in Europe and democracies around the world are treating Trump’s actions and statements not as provocative posturing, but as an earthquake.

  • With American reliability in doubt, some European nations and other countries may seek alternative partners and markets, possibly in China, Bindenagel said.

    Headline is similar to how Netanyahu talks: “If we don’t genocide them all then Iran wins”

    Ukraine was always set up, as the US provoked war it always was, “If we don’t keep spending, and succeed in killing every Ukrainian for US triumph, then how will we nazify Taiwan to do the same?”

    “The loss of trust in America creates a vacuum, and that vacuum is likely to be filled by cooperation between Moscow, Beijing, Pyongyang and Iran,” said Bindenagel, professor emeritus at the University of Bonn.

    The actual trust breaking acts of US are the economic extortion of NATO allies. New alliances/neutrality is what self respecting nations would do, and in the case of those nations being helped by China and Russia, then whining about Russia or China also winning/being helped is just a brainworm that made you previously committed to evil winning.
