…His tactics have raised fears that #Trump is imposing long-term damage on the US standing in the world & encouraging countries to rethink their #alliances & deepen their ties with #China. #Carney already traveled there earlier this month to meet with President #Xi Jinping.

“ #China’s leadership watched an American president fight with #allies, insult world leaders, & engage in bizarre antics, & thought to themselves—this is nothing but good for us,” Jake Sullivan, former President Joe Biden’s #NationalSecurity adviser, said….

“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.

Many are probably familiar with how unfriendly the #Fediverse / #Mastodon is to non-white cultures.

In my opinion, if you really care about wiping out Fediverse white supremacy with actions and not just empty words... you should be following ALL https://TurtleIsland.social moderators and admins.

Stupid is as stupid does

As well as threatening #tariffs on #EU #allies over the weekend, #Trump also sent #Norway’s PM a message tying his demands for #Greenland to the fact he had not been awarded the #NobelPeacePrize. Apparently Trump is ignorant of the fact that the Norwegian government does not award the #Nobel.

The message is incredibly pathetic & reads like a drunken text. Trump has fully lost it.

As the #Trump admin asserts a #NewWorldOrder guided by #military #force & #economic #power — & Trump calls for a massive increase in military spending to confront these “dangerous times” — #US #allies are insisting that global stability depends on following #InternationalLaw.
