Some blunt talk for our American neighbours at the Halifax International Security Forum.

Interesting report from the world of diplomacy and military alliance.

The headline quotation is a direct quotation of a non-American senior official to the Americans at the meeting.

80 years of effort to build up a world of shared values burned in under a year. 80 years of soft power tossed in the compost pile and recycled into fertilizer. 80 years of blood, sweat, and tears as Americans laboured to make the world safe for America.

All gone in the tantrums of a decrepit toddler.

Indeed, USA: We genuinely will never fucking trust you again.

    They’re right to distrust us. We’ve pissed away all the goodwill we had as a reliable military and economic partner (all of our other aspects were, of course, already untrustworthy).
