America's allies are ditching the U.S. because of Trump.
At the Munich Security Conference over the weekend, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s endorsement of white Christian nationalism does not appear to have swayed European countries to abandon their defense of democracy and join the U.S.’s slide toward authoritarianism. Instead, as retired lieutenant general and former commander of U.S. Army Europe Mark Hertling wrote, it squandered the strategic advantage its partnership with Europe has given the U.S.
Foreign affairs journalist Anne Applebaum noted that the word in Munich was that “Europe needs to emancipate itself from the U.S. as fast as possible.” In Germany, Der Spiegel reports plans to bring Ukrainian veterans to teach German armed forces drone use and counter-drone practices the Ukrainians are perfecting in their war against Russian occupation. Canada’s prime minister Mark Carney is working to reduce Canada’s defense dependence on the U.S., ramping up domestic defense production.
Carney has advanced a foreign policy that centers “middle powers” and operates without the U.S. That global reorientation has profound consequences for the U.S. economy, as well. Canada is leading discussions between the European Union and a 12-nation Indo-Pacific bloc to form one of the globe’s largest economic alliances. A new agreement would enable the countries to share supply chains and to share a low-tariff system. Canada also announced it is renewing its partnership with China. As of this week, Canadians can travel to China without a visa.
Steve Kopack of NBC News reported on February 11 that while the U.S. added 1.46 million jobs in 2024, the last year of former president Joe Biden’s administration, it added just 181,000 jobs in 2025. That makes 2025 the worst year for hiring since 2003, aside from the worst year of the coronavirus pandemic. Manufacturing lost 108,000 jobs in 2025.
Well you insiszt on disszing our country on an inappropriate blog. over 1.1 million job cuts announced through October 2025 due to corporate restructuring, AI adoption, and government cost-cutting efforts. Significant factors included layoffs in the tech and manufacturing sectors, rising tariffs, and a reduction in the federal workforce. Got rid of the dead-weight in the federal government...DOGE efforts.
@8:24...These socialists and globalists have no idea what they are doing supporting China. China is expanding its influence by providing police training, surveillance technology, and security equipment to over 100 countries...the free stuff syndrom. I think we are sick of defending these countries militarily when they don't pay their fair share. Let China defend them or NATO. Canada is among the worst where we ran a total trade deficit of about $36 billion

I won't be taking any more comments on this blog from the "I hate America" anonymous poster.
Talking about comments that are not relative to a sunrise photo, anonymous. Get over yourself.
