Problems absolutely started already with George Bush, who said: “If you aren’t with us, you are against us.” While at the same time he fed us false information about weapons of mass destruction, that made many countries join USA against Iraq.

The fact that that idiot was elected twice was not good, the fact that Trump got elected was not good.
The fact that Trump got elected again, when it is evident he wants to dismantle Democracy in USA and dismantle NATO is insane!!!
That he now threaten Canada, Panama and Denmark militarily. While obstructing Ukraine and helping Russia, makes it insane he is allowed to continue.
Canada is probably the biggest traditional USA ally of all. And Denmark has been an extremely reliable ally that also participated (helped USA) in Iraq.

Obama was very well liked, and things almost got back to normal because of him, but even with Obama there were problems. Like non Americans apparently had no rights regarding surveillance. And also there were numerous grave incidents of illegal surveillance of European politicians and EU parliamentarians.

Like the saying goes, with friends like that, who needs enemies?

PS: I am not an anti American by habit, this is a new thing for me, in my childhood I admired USA. But I’ve really come to despise many aspects of American politics, and the flawed democracy. And it’s sickening to hear them call America land of the free, when they don’t even have basic civil rights that are universal throughout EU.
