The response to Donald Trump’s policy initiatives, the fate of Ukraine, and the issue of massive investment and record debt are on German voters’ minds two weeks after the federal election.

These articles are so redundant… As an American I don’t see America as trustworthy. I see specific states and cities as trustworthy to a degree, but that’s it.
Black, Asian, and Native Americans:
“First time?”
Ummmm … it’s happened before … and the last time the Germans looked bad
What do you mean?
It’s probably a reference to the genocide the Germans carried out in Africa, 40 years before the holocaust.
The US no longer sees the US as a trustworthy partner.
To quote a chopped up recording of JFK from a song: “Trusting in the sanity and restraint of the United States is not an option. Go home and die.”
Which song? Reminds me of Ministry’s The last sucker (or was it Rio Grande blood?)
I’m Back by Dope.
I’d hope so…
Ignoring the obvious isn’t helping anything, other countries pretending trump was normal last time is a large reason why he even ran again this time, let alone won.
Pretty sure the American people being some combination of undereducated, lead poisoned, religious, and just plain greedy, is what did it.
If I were to place a date for when USA started it’s downward slope I’d say around the end of the 90s. Thereafter the turningpoints were 9/11, covid 19, and finaly 2025.
Too late now, but if every US child had been required to visit a death camp and take a semester of WWII history (actual version, not some Texas-schoolbook division approved, neutered/revisionist one) maybe we wouldn’t be here today.
Honestly, America just seems in a death spiral across so many different factors, and the only solution to basically any of them is having faith in government, but the government has repeatedly failed them so many times that people don’t.
Like lack of fixing lead and pollution problems creates dumber people, less able to hold their government to account.
Lack of strong public education makes people think that governments can’t run schools, so they pull their kids and money into private schools which makes public schools worse. It also makes people dumber and less able to hold their government to account.
Lack of public healthcare means that people don’t understand that the government can really effectively and efficiently run a utility that helps them at the lowest points of their lives.
Like, American GDP per capita, is ~$90,000, Canada’s is roughly ~$55,000. We should not be able to provide comparable government services, and yet every time I went down to the states I’d notice notably worse infrastructure, on top of all the services and safety nets that I knew they weren’t getting.
Yeah it is other countries fault, lol.
This country has been taken over by the worst people. They are Nazis. You would be a fool to trust them.
This is true and wont change when Trumps gone either to be honest. The right wing of the US is closer to Russia’s right wing than any european party and also far divorced from the rest of Americas wants. So long as Fox news keeps pushing them toward fascism they’ll vote for the next fascist weather its Trump or not. Dealing with the US right now is like a Jeckle and Hyde situation where each personality lasts for two to four years at a time. Too unreliable for anything productive.
Bold of you to presume that there will ever be another USA presidential election again…
The big issue for me is that it’s like dealing with a completely different country every four or eight years. How can you enter into an agreement with the US and rely on it sill being in place in 5 years?
Previously, they would uphold agreements from a previous administration. Trump doesn’t even uphold agreements from his own previous administration. If you can’t trust agreements, you stop making them and use other forms of diplomacy, which are less diplomatic. China will be under big pressure of their growth stalls. USA will be under pressure of their growth stalls due to trump. Wars are a time honoured distraction.
This is an absolutely sane and correct response.

How could anyone see the US as a trustworthy partner now?
