Are you joking? The highlighted countries hate the US and feel they are just American “vassals”. Do you not realize the hatred and disdain for Americans that our so-called “allies” possess. I cannot name any country that is a true, dependable ally.
The US is the most hated country in world history for a reason. The imbecilic, reckless warmongering Demonrats and Noecons are desperate to provoke a war with Russia.
Americans need to violently resist hostilities against Russia. This is NOT OUR FIGHT! Xiden is NOT MY PRESIDENT!
So, are we agreed then that JonPreston's idea about an "American Empire" is utterly ridiculous?
Not only do our alleged empire "subjects" not pay us taxes or obey our orders, now CrimsonTidegirl informs us they don't even like us, in fact, they all hate us, right?
The reality is that in every war the U.S. fought, our allies were always just a "coalition of the willing", meaning only those countries whose self-interests coincided enough with ours to justify , in their own minds, helping us fight.
Countries which served with us again & again, through thick or thin, so to speak, we think of them as more than just allies, but genuine friends, and there are some of those, here & there, regardless of the current day's news headlines & administration.
CrimsonTidegirl: "The US is the most hated country in world history for a reason.

No, the USA is far from the world's most hated country, and far from the most feared.
Arguably, we are still the most loved.
But human nature being what it is, many countries just love to say, in effect, "USA, you take care of it," then they want to stand back and criticize us for doing too much of "this" or not enough of "that".
The real issue is, when it really matters, are they there to help out?
Well, in Ukraine, for example, European countries combined have contributed almost as much as the U.S. totals, according to the most recent list I've seen.

Nonsense.
Orcs must die, Russians must go back to Russia.
The U.S. will suffer as much as any if Ukrainians failed to defeat orc invaders.
As for Brandon, sadly, the 2022 "Red Wave" showed that whatever Democrats figured out in 2020 is still working.
