      As we should. The US empire is collapsing, and even when they weren’t collapsing, they don’t really see any of us as “allies”, we’re either useful to them, or not. They’ve never done “loyalty”.

        We should be thanking Trump. He’s so undisciplined, uncouth, uneducated that he talks like an 8th grade dropout mafia wannabe. However, that is much more representative of average America than the usual Presidents. He says all the quiet parts out loud. The US has been the biggest bully in the world since the end of WWII and uses every allied nation to prop up and enrich their own. For the past decades they have been masking it through a veil of diplomacy. But not Trump. He tells it as it is. Problem for the USA is that he thinks that is good and that America is a great nation that all others worship. Maybe under his government, the rest of the world will be freed from the US.

      Just when the majority of wealthy western countries have realized the need to vastly increase defence spending, the world’s largest arms exporter has cock blocked themselves. Very Sad.
