Our allies may never forgive us. Anti-American forces, on the other hand, are giddy.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

We'll forgive them, eventually, once they return to sanity. But we'll never trust them again. It took more than fifty years for Germany to be fully accepted as a normal country again. It'll take at least as long for the US.
Idk one Trump term could be considered an anomaly, a stress test to our systems to see if we could fix them to be stronger. We didn't. Now we're on round 2 and speed running alienating our allies.
Climate change will affect other countries a lot more then it will affect europe and us. So no it won't stop anything.
When the Atlantic current collapses, it's going to royally fuck Europe's climate, and probably the U.S. Nobody is getting off this train, and we are slowly inching ourselves off a cliff toward extreme westher events all the time instead of just sometimes. Should be fun.

It won't be great but it countries that are rich now will be fine-ish. Anyway there is no off-the-cliff, nations and states won't disappear, so whatever grudges we collect will go with us into the future.
The EU and US regularly lose their minds over a few thousand refugees. What do you think will happen when millions of climate refugees start moving?
They will get killed, somehow you forgot that both world wars were waged in europe with tens of millions dead. Benevolent overlords of today will quickly return to genocidal masters of yesterday.
The amount of civil unrest that'd cause would cause the situation to be far from fine. The US and EU like to pretend like there's some magic money-fuelled forcefield that protects them, but millions of desperate people fighting for their lives can cause a lot of damage if pushed into a corner like that.
Why do you think the assholes that profited off destroying the world are now pushing anti-migrant rhetoric? So the plebs demand weaponized borders and protect them from the people whose homes will be unlivable soon instead of turning against them.
You fail to realize that rich countries with a lot of resources now will become even more rich and they aren't going anywhere. Yes they will lay down and die, causing minimal discomfort to people in rich countries.
Well yea, they tend to do that once they've caught some sharpnel

I'm not wishing for or happy about conflict just morbidly aware of how this will play out between well equiped countries, and countries that will be collapsing.JFC.
