Does the U.S. Even Have Real Allies Anymore Under Trump 2.0?

[RUSirius]

Japan

Korea

Philippines - when on occasion they realize what's good for them

 

I'd like to think Oz...lots in common. Wish the countries were closer. New Zealand dad to say is just too woke.

 

Israel is an albatross, not an ally. Never was. Only trouble.

 

Europe is absolutely weak, worthless. UK dad to say finished. Canada would never go to war over US attacks.

 

Does the US need allies? No. It needs to withdrawal, rethink, retool and realign.

 

Absolutely don't need old Europe.

Without charm is putting it very mildly, did you see the clip on YouTube of him visiting that donut store? Not only is he without charm, but without the ability to even relate to a human being earning less than a million dollars a year. This guy is bad news, and he was a horrific selection for VP. His bluster, his arrogance, and his incompetence is showing itself daily, he is an embarrassment to the US. He is an abomination. 

 

 

 

This is just stupid. Total bombast. I'd not seen the clip but surely we all have our off moments

 

The guy grew up in poverty. You could not be more wrong.

Was that before or after the CDU began to accelerate the efforts to ban the Afd?

 

Did you actually  read what Trump wrote on Truth Social?

 

You should put me on ignore

While there was talk a a few months ago before the about banning the AFD, that is almost a non-issue now. It's the Green party that recently has proposed banning the AFD

The idea of getting rid of the ruling elites’ most significant political opponent has been discussed for many years, and now the Greens put it back on the agenda.

In fact the leader of the SPD, the Socialist Democratic Party had opposed such a ban when he was Chancellor:

Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) is among the many who are skeptical about whether it is smart to ban the AfD, which is represented in 14 of Germany's 16 state parliaments, the European Parliament as well as the Bundestag, because simply banning the AfD won't change its voters' convictions.

That view is shared by the President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster. Before the Brandenburg election on September 22, he told the Tagesspiegel daily: "The people who vote for the AfD today will not simply disappear — and we cannot ignore them."

As for what "what Trump wrote on Truth Social?"  This is from the Marxists at Fox News:

"LOOKS LIKE THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY IN GERMANY HAS WON THE VERY BIG AND HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ELECTION," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "MUCH LIKE THE USA, THE PEOPLE OF GERMANY GOT TIRED OF THE NO COMMON SENSE AGENDA, ESPECIALLY ON ENERGY AND IMMIGRATION, THAT HAS PREVAILED FOR SO MANY YEARS.

"THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR GERMANY, AND FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF A GENTLEMAN NAMED DONALD J. TRUMP," he added.

Just don't want to waste my time with the lot of freeloaders and welfare queens. Not one mind was ever changed in this sub forum. Appears some people live here and waste the bulk of their lives posting rubbish. I'm done with it. Children in every sense of the word

I've been about 😘

 

This sub forum is the sum total of beta, simp, reject brokies. They know nothing about economics, finance, business, politics, people. It's just a constant bashing of the Right despite the Right being near totally correct on all points

 

Biden and his cabinet. Never a more toxic mix of miscreants. Yet, it goes back further to both Clintons, Obama , the swamp... and you look back with what? Fondness?! Idiots

 

You're all total losers. I say this as point of fact because you've all posted 1000s of messages that are completely wrong borne out thru logic, knowledge and current history

 

Trump, Musk and all those billionaires WERE Dems. They woke up ... This lot cannot. The only people stupider than the Americans posting here are the UK EU American bashers.

 

So stupid.. The US is so close to a debt spiral. Dumbshi+s worry about SS in three decades. US debt will implode the nation in a decade or less. Read Dalios new book.

 

Finally, almost none of you even live in Thailand!! Get off the forum!

Yes, it's obvious that if Trump keeps this up the only allies left will be El Salvador and..........who else?

After getting slapped with 25% tariffs when we have spent our blood and treasure in wars with you that started in Korea, I'd say Australians like me think you are not an ally worth having now.

 

In common? You guys have elected a felon as your President.

 

Your Big Pharma wants Australians to pay what Americans pay.

 

Example: A course of medication which cost me $100 with our PBS would have cost me $70,000 in America.

 

<deleted> off.

Well, to be fair it's all caps and no big words are used so is easily digestible, like baby food. Think of it as baby food made from bovine feces.

Korea?

Trump’s 25% auto tariff to hit Korean car exports hard
https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10451746#:~:text=Last year%2C Korea exported automobiles,of their total exports%2C respectively.

And Trump claimed that Korean tariffs are 4 times as high as US tariffs. That's false. Those rates would apply if the 2 countries didn't have a bilateral free trade agreement. But they do. He also went after the semiconductor factories they plan to build in the USA.
