"The reason why the United States will likely never again be considered the true leader of the free world, at least not in our lifetimes, is a matter of trust. Nobody trusts us anymore, and with good reason. We are the nation that gifted Trump with the presidency of the United States twice. And the second time, he actually won the popular vote as well as the Electoral College."

Why the hell should the rest of the world trust America anymore?
Issue #819 The Choice, Thursday, March 6, 2025Keith Owens (We Are Speaking)

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"This idea of America – despite all our problems and our hypocrisy and our racism and our violence – that it was still somehow the world's deepest liberal democracy and the land of the free and the home of the brave, and everything that Soviet communism was not – will, in the end, be the rescuer and guarantor of freedom. I feel like the last vestiges of that are finally dissolving."

Hot Type: The End of the Affair
Heidi Cuda (Byline Supplement)William Lindsey
in reply to William Lindsey • • •"There's this kind of Freudian denial that, ‘Okay, but it couldn't really be that bad. In the end, it's the United States, they couldn't actually go that far, we couldn't really switch sides. Your President couldn't really be working for Putin’. I said, ‘No, you absolutely cannot trust us. It has to be over. You have to take that in, that these are not people you can work with, either rationally or cynically.'"

How is Europe Part of Your American Experience?
Steven Beschloss (America, America)William Lindsey
in reply to William Lindsey • • •"Europe is at a critical turning point in its history. The American shield is slipping away, Ukraine risks being abandoned, and Russia is being strengthened. Washington has become the Court of Nero: an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a buffoon on ketamine tasked with purging the civil service."
~ French senator Claude Malhuret

Trump Is Turning America Into its Opposite and a Threat to the World
The UnPopulistWilliam Lindsey
in reply to William Lindsey • • •"This is a tragedy for the free world, but above all, it is tragedy for the United States. Trump’s message is that being his ally serves no purpose, as he will not defend you, he will impose higher tariffs on you than on his enemies, and he will threaten to seize your territories while supporting the dictators who invade you. ...
Never in history has a president of the United States surrendered to an enemy."
