I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.

@jgivoni respectfully, you must accept that the rot within the US runs far deeper than "Trump and his fascist pack" from our point of view.
Understand that we don't hate the American PEOPLE (well, not the two thirds of them that are not fascists at least), we feel sorry for them...watching their country as they have known it disintegrate is unimaginable! But also understand this: the US has suffered a broad, systemic sociopolitical breakdown, and "voting the bums out" will not be the end of the problems, it is merely the first step in a healing process that could take many years, decades even, to fully sort out.
@msh @jgivoni @randahl Might I suggest the root problem in the #UnitedStates is its failing K-12 #education system? There’s a good reason #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump thanked the “poorly educated” after winning his first #USpol contest in the run-up to the #2016election. https://youtu.be/O9F6EAMPky4

I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.
No matter whom I listen to, the feeling is the same: Our bilateral relationship is dead.
I grew up in a country filled with gratitude towards The US, because of The Normandy Landings. The US was loved.
The feeling now is anger. Our Kingdom has been threatened twice in 100 years: Hitler's occupation and Trump's attempted annexation of Greenland.
It saddens me, but I sense this will not easily be forgotten.
@randahl as a Canadian, I feel the same. I grew up feeling that the US was a friendly next door neighbour-another branch of the same family. Now I feel such intense animosity, I’m not sure I could ever cross that border again.

@randahl Sadly, I agree with you. I'm a former British soldier. With his threats to Greenland and now his belittling of allied contributions to the conflict in Afghanistan (at the USA's request), I am absolutely disgusted and, to be honest, worried for the future. My only form of protest at the moment is to avoid all USA products - this is why I have left Facebook and joined Mastodon yesterday. Europe must be stronger.

@randahl The same here in France, people are immensely in rage. But fortunately, those with a brain can differ between a fascist state and the good people who try to resist. And meanwhile even some Republicans don't like thes politics. I think, a strong Europe showing red lines will help the resisting people. We shouldn't forget them.

@randahl For a lack of a better term, it is going to take a period of de-nazification to even begin mending relationships. To be clear, the American political and oligarch classes are riddled with collaborators and outright Nazis, so things will continue to escalate until they face consequences. My personal estimation is that this period will last 20-40 years especially considering that the opposition party (Democrats) are beholden to the same oligarchs who helped cause this.

@randahl yeah, same feelings here. At least the more evolved Dutch…
It’s about time (long overdue actually) that our politicians got their heads out of their bottoms and do the right things. -

@randahl Nor should it be. Many idiots think we need to find a way to 'work with' Nazis who want to destroy everything. We stupidly keep giving assholes like the slime comprising America's GOP a seat at the table when they've made clear they'll devour everything and kill others to do so.
No one should forgive the United States. NO ONE.

@randahl The venal kleptocracy behind Trump is today exerting influence around the world, Trump is but a figurehead. Until people realise that this is about regular people versus the top 0.1% and their enablers, things will not get better. In the U.K. and US, both mainstream parties have been captured by corporate and / or Zionist paymasters, which disenfranchises voters. It’s unsurprising 1/3 of people (much more actually) don’t vote.

@randahl Much like the situation in Russia, many citizens remain unaware of the profound damage their leadership is inflicting on the world – both in terms of tangible destruction and the lasting stain on global perception. These are wounds that will take decades to heal.
Germans, in particular, may still recall the weight of such a legacy, having faced the harsh reality of being held accountable for the actions of their ancestors.
@individual8 @randahl That's because aside from the assholes in the Fox Lies bubble, millions of others are 'distracted' with the pressure of getting by and look forward to mindless 'Dancing With The Stars' at the end of an exhausting day. Oligarchy intends to keep them that way.

@randahl Canada has gone through a similar transformation. It started with talks of annexation and 51st state rhetoric a year ago.
Now their politicians are actively calling for the province of Alberta to break off and join the US.
'We should let them come down into the U.S.': Bessent weighs in on Alberta separatism
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent commented on the separatist movement in Alberta today — making him the highest-ranking member of the Trump administration to weigh in on the province’s politics. While appearing on the right-wing station Real America’s Voice, Bessent claimed Canada won’t let Alberta build a pipeline to the Pacific, adding, “I think we should let them come […]

No, Alberta doesn't want to be part of the USA.But I'm sure Minnesota would love to be Canada's 11th province.

@randahl We have abandoned so much for this maniac but nothing so valuable as the connections you describe. I apologize for the clumsy, chaotic threat we have become and hope we can be a part of something better in the future.
