L’ascesa del brutale americano: gli europei sono sconcertati, delusi e spaventati dall’America, un paese che pensavano di sapere.

Well the behavior that used to be shameful, is now promoted by the president

Not even gonna read this. 
Not frightened or mystified – and that certainly hasn’t been the response of our leaders either. 

Disappointed? Yeah, but not that surprised either.

We don’t need articles like whatever this is. 
If there’s any kind of *propaganda* we need, it’s that of positive one, which shows European Unity and Strength.

Was just a matter of time until the archetypal school shooter got to run the whole country. I am actually not that surprised, I mean, look at them! Look at how they tread their poor, their mentally ill, their weak, how they run their prisons, how they rip off and kill each other on a day to day basis.

All things considered, one could wonder how they managed to keep their act together for that long? But maybe I’m talking out of passion.

There are also a lot of decent US Americans.

I am actually surprised, didn’t think they’d turn full on support for Russia this quickly and this hard.

America is not new to brutality. Europe is just facing what the Middle East and Asia has faced in the past decades.

The Europeans aren’t frightened or mystified! What a load of BS. We are strong, firm and polite. Disappointed, yes. But only by the fact that Americans put up with this freak show. Our democracies would not have accepted the orange man. 

South America “First time?”

I think America is just waiting for the boomers to finally fuck off and die

We’re surprised by the sudden turn around against allies but everything else was always there.

I think disappointment is the only thing I’d feel. Mystification and fright suggest a level of toothlessness and inability that I don’t think are there. If nothing else, because I would trust my fellow European friends – and I say European. 

It’s possible to have this attitude and acknowledge that Europe has made grave mistakes in the past though. It’s about rallying behind what needs to be done and supporting each other, I guess. We may often think whatever about our leadership, but at least they’re politicians.

I would just hope that there’ll be more aggression and decisiveness on our part, whether that’s pursuing Article 7 against Hungary – addition by subtraction, or something else. 

Hah, frightened… I’m more pumped then I have ever been. They choose their fool… I’m enjoying seeing the outcome.

Not that shocked. At least no one but the most die-hard of transatlanticists.

What I can say is that as an American it is disappointing.

Many of us have spent the better part of the last decade protesting, speaking out and doing what is reasonably within our means as individual people to do our part to push back.

I feel welcome to dissent from the global stage right now towards us, because our legislators seem pretty content with pageantry rather than doing their jobs.

I just ask to remember that we, like all other nations are not a monolith. I can’t lie and say that the indiscriminate hate towards us isn’t justified, but it does feel a little scary to be shouting from the rooftops for the last 10 years that this is crazy and not normal, and then to see the world stage understandably not want to engage with said crazy.

I did want to dispel a few things I’ve seen a lot recently though regarding guns in the US, and about 2A and why we aren’t rising up.

The people who are in opposition of trump and legislators alike are largely in support of gun laws and restrictions in the US. Left leaning Americans are far less likely to own a gun, or support gun ownership all together. They are far less likely to have guns to uprise with anyways.

Additionally, our own government has a history of killing its own citizens during times of opposition. Examples of this include:

The Kent state University massacre in which our own national guard open fired on and killed university students protesting the Vietnam war.

Philadelphia bombing– the police bombed a black neighborhood in Philadelphia, killing many, including children because they opposed MOVE, a black liberation non-profit.

There are countless incidents like this, and I don’t think people have reached the point they are willing to sacrifice their lives. Who wants to resort to that?

Everyone is hoping this resolves diplomatically and doesn’t have to result in the worst, but only time will tell.

Until then, thank you for your efforts and calling out the shitshow that is our current government.

The US is trying to join the new axis of evil with Russia. Shutting off the HIMARS in Ukraine benefits no one but Russia. Every civilized nation needs to rethink any military or tech agreement they have with that fascist ass country.

Canada needs to cancel the f35 purchase. Literally the only reason we would need them would be a hypothetical war with the US and they can just shut them off.

we are not frightened. we are pissed.

As a Russian in the EU, I feel like Americans receive more hate now from Europeans than even Russians have gotten as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine!

It is sort of unfair.

Many many Americans feel the same way

Can I just say, as an American who has been fighting this MAGA shit since before Trump, I am mystified, disappointed and frightened too. And pretty much exhausted.

The people in charge now aren’t really Americans. They’re Confederates. They’ve been wanting to destroy the union since the end of the civil war and now is their best time to do it.

Frightened? No. Gravely disappointed.

Hey, American here. Me too.

I don’t know it feels like people who knew America are the least surprised about the recent developments.

We are not frightened !!! Europe was there before USA and will be here again when USA will be long gone…

Do not fear sisters and brothers from Europe we are in this together and we will get through this as always !

American here. I just wanted to express that I am beyond disgusted with my country and am ashamed and embarrassed to call myself an American. As disheartening as it is to see the rest of the world – including our closest allies – turn their backs on us, it is especially disheartening when it is perfectly justified. Not all of us wanted this. In fact, a majority of us didn’t. But thanks to people who didn’t want to vote because Kamala “would have been as bad” we’re now in a trade war with Canada and Mexico and the already staggering cost of living is going to go up dramatically. I grew up being told that I live in the greatest country in the world and I have always known it was a lie but it has never been more evident to me than it is now.

It’s like that uncle that was always a bit odd and now went full mental. All you want to do is send him to a facility
