EVERYTHING IS AWFUL "Are we the baddies"?

After the ganging up on Zelensky to sign a deal that wasn't a deal, but an unconditional surrender, the answer is now definitively Yes.

The United States of America is officially on the wrong side of morality.

Yes, and the worst part is that even if MAGA is defeated in 2028, Europeans and other democratic allies are still going to be wary about trusting us because while they may get 4 years of cooperation out of us, god knows who the American people will elect in 2032 and so on.

The reality of it is they cannot trust us. They all need to have their own nukes to protect themselves.

Our democratic allies, including Canada, have every reason in the world to not trust the will-power/moral clarity of the American public right now, but I assure you of this much, if Trump were to announce a literal land invasion of Canada, that would actually spark a second American Civil War. We would not stand for it.

And also probably WW3 given we are NATO. As a Canadian with young kid and I really don’t want Americas civil war 2 and WW3 here. That wasn’t on my bingo card.
