I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.
No matter whom I listen to, the feeling is the same: Our bilateral relationship is dead.
I grew up in a country filled with gratitude towards The US, because of The Normandy Landings. The US was loved.
The feeling now is anger. Our Kingdom has been threatened twice in 100 years: Hitler's occupation and Trump's attempted annexation of Greenland.
It saddens me, but I sense this will not easily be forgotten.
@randahl Trump has no idea about the importance of trust. He is pretty good in getting what he wants - kind of like a child throwing a tamper tantrum at the grocery store - but this is all short term. In the long term, trusts broken and it will take a very long time to rebuild. America is losing soft power at unprecedented speeds.

@randahl as an american, i hope that one day, when we get rid of our dictatorship and make sure it can never come back, that we can be of comfortable terms with the free world

@randahl that's a bit overblown. I toured Denmark at least ten times. George W. made everybody I met have contempt for Americans already. People were constantly apologizing for mistaking me for an American once they heard I was from Canada. Which always felt a bit silly. When I suggested that you were an American client state, people got very angry. Most of you already did not love America before this happened. Also, Danes are racist as fuck. As racist as Americans.

@tinfoiling @notsoloud @randahl Was it this? It tells a slightly different story.

@randahl it's a disgrace. My congressman is a veteran. He's fought alongside others in NATO. And the most he could summon in response to my complaint about how Trump and the executive branch are treating our allies is a form letter saying that we're not going to invade Greenland.

Yup. It’s going to be a long time I think before Americans really figure out how much damage has been done. Commercial media platforms aren’t gonna talk about it much and not in any useful detail.
Don't give up just yet, according to my very extensive statistics (quick noai.ddg search) he can still push the dollar even lower!

@eq @AGT Don't forget the far-right danger in Hungary, Italy, in France (before our elections) and elsewhere. And now we have not only Russian troll farms but manipulations of our elections by the USA, especially the #TESCREAL tech bros and their money they invest in our fascist parties.
We can only learn from the bad example USA how quick we can lose our own democracies!Yes, sadly there is a limit on number of characters on every message, thanks for expanding, using your limit instead
And yes, the tech bros has been at this longer than Putin, they are the experts on this.
We need to learn from USA and they should have listened to Phillippines where the takeover method was tested. They were even warned about it ahead of time.

@MugsysRapSheet @randahl
Seen from France, Trump is not the problem, he is just the symptom.
Since Biden's election, Democrats are as stupid and toxic, and maybe more, than Republicans ... They are two arms of the same establishment and they work for exactly the same interests.
But we have the same case here too. It's just that, as usual, the American version is oversized...@RocknRoll_Papy @randahl
Adjectives I'll accept for #Democrats are "gutless" and/or "clueless", but when it comes to the "both sides are the same" nonsense, that belongs in the garbage.
️ No Democrat has even APPROACHED the levels of criminality, racism, international belligerence, incompetence, or profiteering we've seen from the #Reagan, #Dubya and now #DictatorDon Administrations.
#Nicaragua, #ElSalvador, #Iraq, #Venezuela... #Canada? #Greenland? -

I just want to say those of us who support democracy and human rights face an international autocratic movement funded by oil and digital surveillance tech oligarchs.
They are absolutely attempting to gain power in Europe as well.
Personally I think the motivation is the oil industry is trying to roll out totalitarianism so we can't overthrow them when climate disasters become so catastrophic enough it prevents industrial society from being able to function.

@randahl My grandfather was on the beaches of Normandy. He was just a kid, pulling bodies out of the water & onto the ship. I can't imagine what he would have to say now that there's a draft-dodging, traitorous, child r*pist destroying all of our alliances. Fxck Nazis 🤬

@randahl @jack_daniel As an American, I can’t blame you. I myself may never forgive the Americans who voted for Trump. It reframes my entire understanding of my country, and not in a good way.

@thomasareed @randahl @jack_daniel When we get our countries back, or create new ones, it is essential that we push back against the inevitable drive from the guilty for a truth and reconciliation process. Anyone involved must never be allowed a role in public life again, and if they directly committed a crime, they should be prosecuted. We can free up room in our jails for them by letting out the BIPOC folks in there for victimless or nonexistent crimes.
And perhaps more importantly, we must hire the best forensic accountants to track the looted funds and profiteering back to the Five Hundred Families, and make an example of any of the ultra-wealthy who directly benefited. Those families should have all their wealth confiscated to help rebuild our societies after the coming economic crash. Ideally we would get all of the Five Hundred at the same time, but that may be impossible. I’ll settle for putting the fear of the Public back into the rest of them. -

@randahl I don't understand why people give something which happened nearly 100 years ago this much importance.

This is also true internally. The structure and institutions are so damaged now that no one I know would believe anything coming from the CDC or DOJ. The self-poisoning has been so fast and thorough the old USA is not coming back in my lifetime. I fear the best we can hope for is balkanization.

@randahl Canada has gone through a similar transformation. It started with talks of annexation and 51st state rhetoric a year ago.
Now their politicians are actively calling for the province of Alberta to break off and join the US.

Maybe it's worth mentioning that in year 2014 the same happened in Ukraine regarding the Russia, and very importantly, by 2022 the Russian leadership still hadn't grasped what had changed. That's why the Russia is now in a neverending quagmire. And they still, in 2026, use strategies oblivious to this effect on how _everyone_ in Ukraine sees them.
Extrapolating from that: US leadership might be similarly oblivious to this for over a decade and more, in 2038.

@randahl I think it is a lot for Americans to process, especially the significant majority of them who are not engaged in global affairs. Canadians very much relate to and sympathise with what Denmark is going through right now. The feelings of betrayal and anger and frustration and loss of trust are with respect to the USA are PROFOUND.
I don't think many Americans, regardless of their political leanings, really do understand gow we, and increasingly the rest of the world, perceive their country.
NOT THE PEOPLE...but their country. We mostly feel sorry for the people of the USA.
But they MUST know this: clobbering the GOP in the midterms will not make it better. Electing a new president will not make it better. Y'all elected a FASCIST regime that is rapidly descending into totalitarianism.
Carney is right. This world order is over, and it will take decades for relations with the USA to find a new normal and it will NEVER be the old normal again. Voting won't be enough to fix this it's only a start.
@msh @randahl
The feelings are very valid but I hope you understand that destruction of order is the goal; world order, government, and law and order. Tear it all down, remove regulations and take whatever they want. A civil war in the U.S. and a World war abroad is the goal because they benefit from destabilization. Protect yourself and others, look for new ways to build and strengthen alliances, but be careful you're not helping them meet their goal by walking into the trap they set for you. -

What should be understood by everyone is that the current regime that has these goals is not the problem the US has, it is a symptom of the problems it has had for generations now.
The symptom needs treatment ASAP but without seriously examining the many problems that led to this current state of affairs things won't be made right.
