They must not have worn suits or thanked him enough but the dealbreaker was that the selection of couches was abysmal.

    That’s why I said we need new leadership

    OK that we can 100% agree on. And also the rest.

    We are in unprecedented times,

    Absolutely, I never dreamed I would ever be against USA, I grew up in Denmark in the 70’s with Americans being the heroes. Watching American movies and TV series, and everything about USA was cool back then. Also Carter was a true humanitarian, and I trusted him more than any president that has come after.
    But Nixon and Watergate and the Vietnam war, then Reagan with the Iran Contra affair, Then Bush with a war based on false intelligence and comments like if aren’t with us you are against us. And Now finally 2 times Trump.
    It’s been an ever increasing slippery slope from bad to worse, disrespect for both local law and international law. And now your allies don’t trust you anymore, after threats of invading allied countries and undermining the global economy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the 60 year history that leads up to trump, and a lack of trusting the American population and democracy.

    You probably notice that all the presidents I mention are Republican, but that’s not because democrats are that much better, Obama also had illegal surveillance against allied governments, and he used drones illegally into Pakistan and other countries costing more than 70000 civilian casualties.

    If USA can turn it all around to something that can be trusted again, I will be the first to celebrate, but for now, I’m no longer holding my breath. As sad as it is.

      100%, my Danish brother.

      I never dreamed I would ever be against USA

      Me neither, and I’m an American, who grew up in a military family. I was born on an Army base in a converted barracks. And yet, I hate what America has become, and actively root against things like this war. I hope we lose this war in front of the entire world, in humiliating fashion. America doesn’t deserve it, but MAGA sure does. MAGA is NOT America.

      Stick with us, the good part of America, by far the largest part, will prevail, and then we will put have to put aside our kindness for a moment, as we deal with family business, and then return to the world with a responsible attitude, and the hope for redemption.

        From here it seems the good Americans are a minority, but I hope I’m wrong.

          You’re definitely wrong, it’s just that the evil minority is willing to cheat, lie, manipulate, bribe, etc., while the good majority won’t stoop to that, and they’ve ridden that corruption to power.

          What will happen is that they will eventually wake up to the fact that even kind, empathetic people sometimes have to defend their way of life against evil people who intend to take advantage of that kindness. When that switch flips, watch out.
