Countries are growing uneasy about their dependence on U.S. technology firms.

    You say “we violated”, but its literally one person called Trump.

    I think once he is out of office, the western world can work together again. Its just so much to gain from that. The mentality of Trump is from Russia or North Korea.

    All his decisions can be reversed by the next president.

      who cares about trump here. he’s just the catalyst that started the process we long needed. american big tech has for much longer been parasitic and anticonsumer, and that’s not on trump. every administration before that was fine with it too.

      yes you violated, and that’s out of question.

      one person, along with all the people who voted for him, all the people who got those voters to vote for him, all the people who helped him

      Romania knew how to deal with a fascist candidate, the USA didnt

      The loss of soft power can’t be reversed easily and especially not in the next presidency. Why would any sane country think this is a one off for us? Next election we might elect someone crazier for all they know.

      And then reversed by the next next president. Do you think this kind of trust violation blows over just like that?

      The orange Cheeto threatened to annex a fucking European country. And nobody in the US told him otherwise. The Democrats seem to be too busy eating popcorn and waiting for elections.

      2/3 of the voting population didn’t vote against him, btw

      doesn’t really seem like “literally one person”

      American companies have shown that they will happily bend the knee and lick the boots of fascist dictators for money. No one should trust them ever again.

      Speaking as a canadian, I do believe our leaders will attempt to work with any new administration the US votes in. We are too inter-linked to not try. BUT, I think recent events have shown not just our government, but our general populace that we cannot rely on the USA. I don’t think everything will just “go back to normal” like you hope.

      There’s a bit of a problem with that: every single thing Trump has promised has turned out to be a lie. A very obvious lie that has costed this entire country more than we could possibly imagine.

      So… How do you square that with what Trump promised before now?
