Why the heck and when was the United States considered reliable?
Reliable in what context?
Oh I see defensively reliable.
It might not make a lot of sense to overwhelmingly rely your national defense on a partner separated by an ocean.
I'm glad the EU is taking more responsibility for their own defense, and I'm also surprised to see so many European leaders acting surprised that they should have to, or the idea of a European defense as a novel idea.
The US was considered reliable because, until Trump, both parties had identical foreign policy.
"Becoming" less reliable.
As if it even matters which shitty imperialist party is in power lol
Only one of them wants to actively kill my queer friends, so yeah, it matters.
Both of them want to actively kill Palestinians, including its queer population. "The lesser evil" one is currently bypassing congress to do so
Sounding alot like this rn
Cool story, still matters for my non-palestinian queer friends.
Both siders and don't-voters malding hard rn lmao
Notice how you haven't addressed how dems are any different from reps if both are okay with a genocide so long as they themselves are fine.
No queer friends in Palestine, I'm guessing. But even if only people in the US deserve life, Biden isn't doing anything to stop LGBQT rights from being dismantled. It will get worse even if Biden wins a second term. If Democrats didn't codify Roe v. Wade when they had the chance, why do you think they will do anything concrete to protect them, when they can use their fear to scare them into voting for them.
Biden only passively wants to kill us and is willing to look the other way when states do it, youre right.
it matters. one is an accelerationist the other is a conservative of the status quo. neither are going to improve anything but one will try his most to destroy any confidence.
one will try his most to destroy any confidence
Talking about Biden? You know, the one currently supporting a genocide? I'd think that counts as trying "his most to destroy any confidence"
It matters hugely even internationally. If you're female it would I'm guessing based on the fact that want to ban abortions. As a guy, I wouldn't want to be forced to be stuck with a kid.
Are you not paying attention? I'm Australian, and the difference is totally night and day.
Last I checked abortions were banned while dems held the house, congress, and the presidency.
And as a human being, I wouldn't really want to support a zionazi that's funding a genocide.
I can't speak for that.
But sure..
Joe Biden? When his son was found guilty, he let justice take course.
It would be good to see Michelle Obama stand though instead of him, but, Trump is VERY dangerous. He was willing to start a civil war to get back power, and the only reason he hasn't gotten into any wars, is because he is likely giving other dictators everything they want (including top secret information)
The only reason we know 100% that he is giving away top secret information, is because of audio recordings, and a billionaire in Australia said directly that was the case.
Joe Biden has done none of that stuff. The judge didn't need to warn jurors on his son's trial that they could be targeted if they diclosed they were on it
Geopolitics is actually one of those examples where it does matter quite a lot. All the planning world leaders does gets thrown out the window when someone new comes on to the stage. For example I don't think anyone could have predicted America being nice to NK under Trump.
It's going to be this way every election, ain't it? Basically two year election cycle of Trump once again running, all the fears of him winning, then he looses, and we get next 4 years of him talking shit and "raising concerns".
It's not about Trump (the dude may not even live much longer, he looks awful).
It's about all the people who support his values and way of thinking and use him as a distraction while they erode democratic rights and processes. America is undergoing a tremendous divide which may lead to the federation coming apart and individual states breaking away. That's what's worrying the rest of us, not the POTUS making a fool of himself on TV.

God I wish, US's balkanization would be such a blessing to the entire world.
That sounds like an overall good thing though? Especially for the rest of the world.
I really don't see him running in 2028. I don't think his health/Republican money would both line up and support that
Europeans realizing they're not America's core interest after spending two years talking up a war with Russia is never going to stop being hilarious.
When can I, an international with an interest in the US election, commit money to a political party? Or do I need to be a corporation?
Just apply to open a LLC in a business friendly city online. Now you can funnel money to our politicians legaly from anywhere in the world.
Canada has straight up said we have a doomsday plan if the US goes really wonky.
Sure are a lotta bots in this thread
^ found one
As somebody who lives in a country that spends over the NATO agreed 2%, and for whom Russia is very threatening, I'm not entirely unhappy about what Trump is saying about European defence. We do need to put in more effort. Another thing is what he'll actual do.
