"I’m never quite sure who is in this “free world” or what the criteria for membership are. It sounds a bit colonialist. Trump stood on a platform and was elected by the US electorate to enact that platform. That’s what he seems to be doing. It doesn’t seem to suit some Europeans, who think Trump should ignore his voters and do what foreign “leaders” say instead, in their interests rather than the interests of US citizens. That doesn’t seem very democratic. Which makes me suspect it is probably Trump’s detractors who aren’t quite sure what democracy is." Yes it does seem that the Europeans have got their knickers in a twist with him. They/we have had it far too cushy with the US picking up our defence tab for way too long. Reality has just bitten them/us on the arse and the politicians don't like it. I do think he is dangerous, but far from the "most" dangerous. More a bit of a loose cannon than having evil intentions. Give him credit for some things though. He's well on the way to sorting out Biden's immigration disaster and, although still a good way off, he's got the ball rolling on getting peace in Ukraine. It's a damn site further forward than it was in January. | |||

"I’m never quite sure who is in this “free world” or what the criteria for membership are. It sounds a bit colonialist." The fact that you were able to make this post on a platform like this means you are probably in the 'free world' by most people's understanding of the definition. You may call it colonialist if you wish. | |||

I mean the Americans seem to have doubts about whether Europe still is in the free world. Meanwhile the Europeans seem to have doubts as to whether the US is still in the free world. So which is correct? It seems pretty subjective. | |||

Doesn't mean they're not tyrants, and that we shouldn't safeguard against their influence. | |||

Browbeat, sanction, funded coups or even intervene militarily in any country that disobey's.. | |||

" The free world has usually meant the former colonial powers. Who have told former colonised countries " do as we say and not do as we do".

"Trump has been keeping his promises, like sending troops to run the southern border. He wants to put a stop to the wars in Ukraine and Palestine. He will have known from the off that he would be upsetting people. Decisions will be made that will upset Putin and Zelensky, Hamas and Netanyahu. He can’t be seen to show any signs of weakness. If anything, I believe the world will be a much safer place because of Donald Trump. "Nobody wants to hear that
It is much easier to give people what they want, Trump bad. | |||

"I don’t even think it’s a European defence thing…. The thing about Trump is that he sees the presidency like a king and he has an authoritarian bent to him …. Look at the people he admires and is always bringing up, Putin, xi, Kim, orban (which is the absolute Hungarian playbook for the way he is trying to take over the press) You can talk about it being European .. but it’s really expansionist… Greenland, the Panama Canal, Canada, Gaza It’s about bullying… tariffs It’s about revenge… autocratic… destroying anyone who he thinks has done him wrong " Then he must really hate America. | |||
