“The officer then said that even a swift return of America to its former role won’t matter.

Because “we will never fucking trust you again.”

The Americans at the table seemed somewhat startled by the heat of that pronouncement. I agreed with it entirely. So, it seemed to me, did most of the non-Americans.

… it was still being talked about the next day. “Thank God,” one allied official said to me. “Someone had to tell them.””

America has blown 80 years of accumulated goodwill and trust among its allies, our American moderator was told. A rock-steady assumption of allied defence and security planning for literally generations has been that America would act in its own interests, sure, but that those interests would be rational, and would still generally value the institutions that America itself worked so hard to build after the Second World War. America’s recent actions have destroyed the ability of any ally to continue to have faith in America to act even within its own strategic self-interest, let alone that of any ally.

This wasn’t the only such moment at the forum this year, but it was, to me, the most interesting. And it was still being talked about the next day. “Thank God,” one allied official said to me. “Someone had to tell them.”

If there’s one thing I think people should take from my visit to Halifax, it’s that. America’s former role is gone. And I think that Americans themselves are having the hardest time of all coming to terms with what that might actually mean in the long run. — Text: America has blown 80 years of accumulated goodwill and trust among its allies, our American moderator was told.

Matt Gurney: 'We will never fucking trust you again'

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

European officials agreed on one idea right after U.S. President Donald Trump pulled back from the brink over Greenland: The continent’s economy and defenses must stand on their own. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/23/world/eu-rethinks-us-ties-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #europe #nato #greenland #donaldtrump

General Constipation T. Bonespurs lying again. 1,160 NATO troops were
killed in Afghanistan, including 43 Danes. God he’s a turd.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed
them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never
needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this
or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front"

Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist Trump says the main "enemies of the United States are not Russia and China. The greatest threat is the UN and NATO."

The United States founded the United Nations and #NATO. They are the bedrock of U.S. national security.

Trump is a Russian asset and traitor to the United States.

Amount of blood #US has expended defending Greenland: zero. Amount of blood #Denmark has expended defending the US: 43 Danish soldiers gave their lives in Afghanistan, responding to a US appeal under article 5 of #NATO. Our allies deserve far better than the treasonous conduct of this administration.

@unusual_whales The DEAL is Greenlanders will depose their government and call off the deal. If indeed a 'deal' actually exists at all. It doesnt.

"President Trump and #NATO reached a tentative deal on the future of Greenland,"

What's seen below IS NOT A DEAL for US occupation of territory, which IS what the Bad Man and pentagran want.

Now everyone can gamble in ur casinos, aka markets, on it like greedy little capitalist pigs. Accent on #Greed.

Cartoon showing Donald Trump sitting in a giant baby activity center chair with large colorful buttons in front of him labeled with the symbol of nuclear weapons and 'War' and 'Tariffs'. He is positioned in front of a large viewing glass. Behind the glass the earth is desperately holding his hands to the glass while a machine drills a hole in Venezuela and a large claws grabs Greenland. Behind Trump stand someone from the UN (doing nothing), Usrsula von der Leyen from te EU (looking angrily at the plug that provides power to the activity center) and Mark Rutte (who smiles and is serving Trump a coke.).
