Trump is really showing the world that any kind of dependence on USA on any level is a liability. I wonder how long it will take for the US to rebuild the political goodwill he is burning.
The US has zero goodwill after almost a hundred years of ridiculous amounts of assistance. We're not getting any less goodwill by stopping. The people who consume anti-American propaganda will continue to do so. Cool story though.
What are you talking about? The sentiment towards USA has been positive, pretty much worldwide apart from the places you would expect (Russia, china, greater middle east, parts of the Balkans). In Europe it was pretty stellar until the Iraq war.
Looking at sentiment towards the USA in Africa it is clear that there is quite a lot of goodwill.
What many Americans don't seem to understand is that the burning of political goodwill started long before Trump - he's just pouring gasoline on the dumpster fire that started with America's illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003 and has been festering ever since ..
This is merely anti-American propaganda, and that has not changed. As I continue to say, the anti-American will become anti-EU in short order, with all the empty hate- and fearmongering. Obviously something EU or DE related instead of US like defense. Get the laughs in while you can, because the downsides of myopia are far and wide.
Having to defend yourselves is going to be expensive. Which means either higher taxes or lower social spending. Someone has to be to blame, and keep it real, we know who. For everything. And we don't care.
Canned response: `There's probably no word in the $LANG_TARGET that shares etymological roots with $WORD_SOURCE in $LANG_SOURCE, so it'll have to be placed in a sentence, and then translated. Otherwise it will be garbage in garbage out. This applies to any words in any languages that aren't close siblings of one another and/or combinations of languages that has not enough traffic across.`

I can assure you this flipped after yesterdays Rubio/musk stunt.
