    I completely agree that there’s no turning back from a geopolitical standpoint. This piece is specifically commenting on how the rest of the NATO block no longer trusts the USA.

    The officer then said that even a swift return of America to its former role won’t matter.

    Because “we will never fucking trust you again.”

    I just don’t see this being the case. Even as things currently stand, the western imperial powers continue to support the US lead genocide in Palestine and the majority of Europe is frothing at the mouth to sacrifice more Ukrainians to the meat grinder. The US empire is the last keeper of the barbarous European colonial mentality and this is still the dominant ideology within the NATO block.

      Ah yeah, I agree there. It’s pretty clear that Canada and Europe are hoping to wait Trump out and they’re willing to put up with the abuse for the next three years in hopes that the next admin will change course.

        If Carney was really serious about shifting to improving relations with China, then we would be seeing a flood of high quality, affordable EVs, among other things, enter the market. I imagine China is one of the few alternatives to the USA, which has the ability to refine our heavy sand oil. It should be a no-brainer, but here we are.
