    Maybe tell Trump to stop being so openly hostile towards his own allies, then. This isn’t a game. If NATO countries can’t trust the US to have their backs, then why would anyone include them in their strategic planning? The US is simply not a reliable partner anymore. Not in trade or defense.

    What a crazy time to be alive. The “slap a tarrif on everything” administration bitching about fair play. Why would EU consider the US over the EU for purchases? Even if we got rid of all the current idiocy, seems like it would be a matter of national security to have local production of matériel.

      You mean one of the cited reasons for slapping a tariff on everything? You mean other places can prioritize the same thing on their own? No. Can’t be. He’s got the bigliest brain to come up with these ideas.

    Well sounds like the current American regime shouldn’t have been cunts to the rest of the world, if you didnt want to get excluded.

    It’s giving “kid doesnt want to share toy, so they take it home and cry when nobody wants to play with them anymore” vibes. Pathetic.
