As an American, I'm rooting for Canada.
But this all feels very by design of Putin to fracture US alliances.
I just hope Canada, Europe and Mexico unite and start working closely together. Fuck the USA under Musk (trump). Together we are strong. Much stronger than individually.
Feels bad to say but the USA haven't been a reliable partner since the first time they elected Trump. Who knows what they'll stand for in 4 years? A normal person or a complete lunatic that has already disassembled the legal structures few days after getting into office? Hard to know. Very unreliable and extremely concerning.
I cant believe americans are letting this happen while sitting by idly.
I can’t think of a single alliance in history that went from unbreakable to garbage within three weeks because of the whims of one person that should honestly be „dealt with“ before it’s too late.
Writing this as a German with rather conservative views.
