@jawarajabbi @randahl We in the #USA also not only do not resent that #Denmark stood up to our vile regime, we thank you for doing so. Your courage helps us by weakening the regime.
"Vaer stolt af Danmark!"
Very true. Many thanks to the bravery of Denmark and Canada in particular. Norway with a treasury bond dump assist. They've drawn blood this week. Trump returned from Davos a seriously weakened little tyrant.
This whole time as he pounded his chest about "buying Greenland" I was thinking "With what money, bitch? Do you think Europe is going to loan you the money to take their territory? Don't you know we're broke?"

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 Well Trump is right in one thing. For too many years Europe was happy to depend on the US for too many things.
Now they realise why this was wrong. Let’s hope European politicians will do what is needed so Europe reclaims its independence. -

@randahl This ill will is of course the real plan. NATO's death is Putin's aim.

@ePD5qRxX @feather1952 Indeed. What is needed should have occurred during the Civil War. Rather than execute every motherfucking confederate, they stupidly allowed for their transition and education. Cancer doesn't learn. Nazism is cancer. We have the receipts from WWII. The GOP is the modern day confederacy and is worth no more than cancer is worth to any one or any thing.
@kristen_d @ePD5qRxX @feather1952 Failed to finish Civil War so we got Jim Crow. Failed to finish Nixon so we got Reagan and then Trump.
We are now failing to finish Trump. What worse fate is coming?

@randahl It is not only your bilateral relationship, it's that of all (former) U.S. Western allies. First, because we are not indifferent to what happens to our friends and allies and secondly because we're in that together and whatever this regime does to you it will also eventually do to us.
And that's the appalling part: not only don't they realise the damage they caused in their relationship with the Danes, but they even don't see the damage it did on their relationship with the free world.

@davidr @ePD5qRxX @feather1952 Putin. We stupidly let all your named assholes take our country into a ditch, worse each time, and the final nail will be pants-shitter pedo Trump giving it all to Putin. Putin owns the entire GOP.

The orange one is just the puppet for the Republican Party/Project 2025.
Yes, his mental decline and overall madness adds to it, but it will only get worse when he's gone...
To get this shit-show fixed you have to get rid of the Republicans (party and those who voted for them).@ePD5qRxX @feather1952 Yes, Trump is a symptom, not the cause. The sliding towards totalitarianism was decades in the making. But fascism is a cannibalistic ideology. It often devours itself, before it can even come of age. It needs a an unscrupulous strongman holding this lump of egotistical maniacs together. And this man is Trump, whose prospect of dying soon is fortunately quite high.
The question remains: is there another strongman to take over. Couchboy probably not ...

@randahl I do hope in my lifetime no serious politician will ever again consider USA an "ally" or "friend". So many red lines has been crossed that this should define the relationship not for months, but decades to come.

I don't know what the future holds (no one does, of course), but it will take a long time and a lot of hard work to repair all the damage that Trump's United States is doing to international relations. Given that it will be possible at all.

@randahl the trouble is most people in America won't know or care & don't have a passport.
They are very insular in and care little for world news.
I don't know if things have changed but their news focus used to be this order;
My local big city
My State
Federal
Quirky world stories@DaRC_Fantom @randahl Yes. When I Iived in the US in the 1980s the news programmes ended with a round-up of international news called "Around the World in 80 Seconds". Very often it included some schmaltzy "human interest" story about a loyal pet.
The levels of geographic ignorance were astounding. Without immigrant brainpower the country would have been in trouble long ago. That will likely change now.

@randahl
The US has squandered its resources on military & financial might, while degrading its education & mental health programs. The result is enough ignorant psychopaths to hijack the cockpit & send us into a tailspin.

@randahl The trust won't even begin to be rebuilt until everyone in the Trump administration is rotting in jail, and laws are passed to prevent this sort of shit to ever pass again.

@randahl Russia delivered Europe and the nazi camps, not the USA. USA wanted to administrate France after the D-Day. De Gaulle took them by surprise re organising the territory into departments. Since, USA lies about WW2. It's time to remember the true history. I'm french and i'm soooo sad to consider it that way.
@jeanpaulpognon @randahl Agreed! USA lies about WW2, and a lot of the population believe the Hollywood stories that the hero’s were all American (which is very far from the truth).

@randahl
People in the UK are also extremely angry about the dismissive, insulting way Mr Trump spoke of our military who served besides the USA after Article 5 was invoked following 9/11, when we lost so many soldiers and huge numbers lost limbs and endured other injuries.
He is a disgrace. -
@randahl And we/they should be. I can only hope with 100% power that the ones who can actually do something against that idiot will actually DO SOMETHING and not suck up to DonOld again when the going gets a bit rougher.
I'm always looking for ways to reach politicians and ask them/urge them to act.
@paulk @randahl I think it's already happening - US' Achilles heel is its enormous debt that has so far not been a problem for the US because other countries were eager to lap up bonds issued by a country they saw as a stable investment, but countries have begun ridding themselves of their US bonds, China, India and Mexico leading the pack.
As bond buyers become fewer and money becomes tight, I suspect the US will be forced to confront the consequences of its adventures (kidnapping heads of state, threatening to annex land) in the rest of the world.

@randahl
The rest of the world is only now learning what #Democrats have known for decades:#Republicans can't be trusted.
@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... -
> Many many politicians here are eager to implement most of Trump's nazi politics.
Yours too? Damn.
@glitzersachen
Macron came to power bragging about being centre or even centre-left (he was a Minister in Hollande's government, nominally left-leaning). Rapidly went right and took hard right wingers or even fascists as ministers (think Darmanin, Retailleau).
