Increasingly, countries that were once U.S. allies are aligning themselves with America’s enemies.
The signs were obvious two decades ago, and the insightful Mark Steyn—the conservative Canadian author—addressed them then. In numerous books, written in his sharp, convincing style, he warned that America would soon become isolated in its fight against Islamist jihad. Today, that loneliness appears to be fully realized.
His 2006 book America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, convincingly argued that much of the Western world would not survive the 21st century. Europe, with its declining birthrate, would be the first to go—thanks to white people being “too self-absorbed to breed,” while Muslims worked to change the demographics in their favor.
It also predicted that Europe would be defeated by its obsession with multiculturalism—essentially a surrender to Islam—and its welfare-driven laziness. Only America, dedicated to individual effort, morals, and economic growth, would be able to resist the onslaught of civilizational jihad.
Just five years later, in After America: Get Ready for Armageddon, Steyn lamented that America was also in serious danger of joining the rest of the Western world in an unavoidable decline. He observed that the growth of government, rising debt, the focus on diversity over excellence, and cultural shifts—away from individualism and self-reliance toward state handouts—were hollowing out America.
Fifteen years later, not only is the mood in Europe and the U.S. against America, but our neighbors, Canada and Mexico, too, are hesitant to join us in confronting a three-pronged threat: Islamists, the unchecked Trojan horse tactics of communist China, and the drug and smuggling cartels at our borders. Canada has fallen under the influence of both Islam and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), while powerful criminal cartels aligned with China have a firm grip on Mexico.

The Democrats and their foreign allies in what remains of the West are the bigger threat.
In twenty years, times have changed. The projection of “America Alone” made sense from a postwar point of view: with the EU and the rest of the Anglosphere fast fading into irrelevancy. Now, while the old standbys UK France and Germany struggle to survive, eastern Europe has countries flourishing and strengthening their defenses. In the Arab world, where Trump has achieved unprecedented trust among leaders, it is clear who they consider the ‘strong horse.’ As for the UK/Canada/Oz/NZ, we can hope for revitalization someday but be aware that hope is not a basis for policy making. Fortunately, Europe has little that America wants or needs, so their sidelining themselves is hardly critical.
I am hopeful that the eastern Europeans from Finland down through the Baltics, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Hungary will resist the Muzzies.

By attacking Iran, Trump has checkmated China. Without Venezuela as a supplier, China is toast. Their economy will be crashing since they have zero production.
America and Israel, not America alone.

this war with Iran rids the USA of the dreadful curse of the mullahs. It finally ends the war the mullahs launched in 1979.
This represents a massive tidal shift in the affairs of men. It puts the muslims on the back foot all over the world and encourages non muslims to fight against them.
