[Dougie93]

not being liked by the British ( and most other non Americans ) is Trump's key selling point

since Americans don't like the British ( and most other non Americans )

[Aristides]

It might be a selling point for Trump but he is trashing his country’s credibility in the rest of the world and most of all with his allies. The US will never be trusted again because they now know the US can’t be trusted.

there's not much they can do about it, as they are totally dependant on America's military and 25 trillion USD economy

It will take a bit of time but sure they can.

the reality is, America doesn't need America's allies

America's allies are in fact a burden not a boon

America's allies have never saved America, no matter how many times America has saved the world

and everybody is going to have to do business in America, to include paying the tariffs therein

[herbie]

Other countries were tires of the USA becoming a laughing point by the end of his first year of his first term. Now he has them puking again in one week.
He certainly has managed ot Make America Ugly Again with no help from any other country.

Already set Canada-US relations back to 1812.

Quote

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

He's just so ugly.

America looks after America, it has yet to save the world.

too bad you leftists have turned Canada into a feeble unmartial effeminate joke which couldn't fight its way out of a wet paper bag then

WW1, WW2, Trump first and second term. Your welcome

The US came into WW1 right at the end and mostly because the Germans were trying to talk Mexico into attacking the US. It didn't come into WW 2 until it was attacked itself. Hitler declared war on the US first.

And both times, when we got there, the fight ended.

America bailed the British Empire out in 1916 when it went broke on the Somme 

if America had not been supplying the British with the gold, the Germans would have won the war

trying to claim that America did not win the Second World War for the allies is just silly

you are just butt hurt because Trump has exposed Canada as being an American vassal state

and there's nothing you can do about it, except rant & rave on the internet in sheer impotence

The fight ended when the Soviets took Berlin. They did more and sacrificed more to defeat Hitler than anyone else.

With 7 million people, Canada lost more than the US did in Viet Nam. With 11 million in WW2 we had a million in uniform and were in both wars from the beginning. My father was an already in Europe 9 months before Pearl Harbour. I don't discredit what the US did but nor will I take their pompous bullshit.

America decided the outcome of both World Wars, Canada did not

it would be pompous bullshit for Canada to claim otherwise

Russian sympathist eh? Why do you think Germany spent more time and resources on the fronts with Americans?

As I said, I don't discredit the contribution the US made but I am sick of them putting down what others sacrificed to win the war. If Britain and its Commonwealth forces hadn't held out alone, there would be no second front and no  winning the war unless the Russians did it.

Are you f***ing serious, the Russians lost 20 million people and fought the greater part of the German army.

the hysterical screeching butt hurt in Canada is off the charts

President Trump has invoked their worst nightmare ; forced to kneel in the face of American freedom

never mind that Canada is the ultimate Free Rider which destroyed its own military for DEI and Transgenderism

suddenly these clowns are all beating their chests about their martial history

which five minutes ago they were claiming was "White Supremacist Genocide"

just to correct you here, there is no such thing as "Commonwealth forces"

it was the British Empire, Canada fought for the British Empire, in both wars

the Commonwealth is not and never has been a military alliance,

it's only a cultural organization which wasn't founded until 1949

Canada was not part part of the Empire in WW2, it was an independent Dominion and declared war on its own. We fought with the Empire.
