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!

If our allies are gonna get butt hurt after 1 bad date after 70+ years of dating then they ain't allies to the American people who are suffering. They are allies to what our government can do for them. This makes them look a certain way more than it makes us look bad.
American exceptionalism everyone.
This isn’t a bad date, it’s assault.
Europe is America's pet.
And dipshit Euros are too dumb to realize it without Trump threatening to take territory. Biden told them to sit and cut off Russian oil at a huge cost to their economies, and they did like a good obedient boy. This dating analogy implies some autonomy, of which there is none. When Europe finally starts resisting, America will put on the shock collar.
One trump term is a bad date. Two is a pattern of dangerous behavior.
Two is "hey wait, I pay for everything and all you do is lie on the sofa and bitch that I'm not doing enough."
The rest of the world deserves Trump 2.0 far more than the average American.
Also,
Trump and Elon are literally European agents (yes, Elon is Euro in every aspect but place of birth, and the Trump-Putin connection needs no further explanation) who have invaded the American government, neither of those two are homegrown.
I don't think I've ever seen a better Boomer->Millenial toxic masculinity example before. I guess I could just use an image of Married With Children, but this feels more poignant.
And here's some American Exceptionalism, man, what a goldmine for sociopathic quotes.
hahahah, 'Elon is Euro in every aspect except the things that would make someone European'.
Have you ever been told 'no' or that you haven't done a good job ever in your life, or are the women too nervous that you'll backhand them for that to happen?
Please tell us more about how the American people have it worse than Palestinians, Haitians, half of Africa and half of Central America.
Get to fixing it. What's stopping you all??
the CIA mostly
The French literally burn their country down anytime cuts to social services or tax increases are proposed. They literally can't stand to budget for foreign aide like the US has done for decades
This is what happens when your population is educated about history, and when your country has a history of resistance.
It's what happens when the past 80 years of your country have been spent entirely subsidized by America's gross paternalistic attitude to the "Old War." Western European institutions cannot stand on their own without the bleeding of American capital/labor
Bro the euros don't even fit defenses anymore. When Ukraine broke mfs sent blankets and helmets. They think we are cooked and don't want to be our friends anymore lol
