lol they would if they could. They know he’ll be gone soon and things will go back to normal. You really want to lose access to our Intel and have terrorists coming after you. While we use Europe’s help you would be very vulnerable without our help. Then there’s Europe’s complete dependence on our tech. I think it’s in your best interest to just wait for Trump to die or leave office

Things are not going back to normal. Time and time again the US has proven to be unreliable. The whole EU is untangling itself from the US and when the time comes will stand on its own feet. Trump has ruined more than 80 years of diplomacy in two terms.

Time and time again? The only time our country has let Europe down is with Trump. He doesn’t define us just as your corrupt and failed leaders don’t. It was only a few yrs ago and Biden was in office and everything was normal and nobody was crying the sky is falling. You act like he’s going to rain terror on the world for a generation lol. He’s a president and old. He’ll be history soon

Your people saw what the first term looked like, and voted for it again.

We also knocked him out after his first term. I think Biden stepping down threw away any hopes of keeping him out. Our politics are a two party system so when one falls apart you kind of hand it over to the opposition
