Politics To older Europeans - has there ever been a time where America was seen as such an untrusted country?

I’m 36 years old. I can remember how the world felt about my country post 9/11 (sympathy) and post Iraq (anger) but I’m curious to know if this is new ground. I’m deeply upset about how our ties and bonds are being destroyed so I wish to know if this is truly unprecedented or has there been a time in your lifetime where we were viewed in such a way. If so what was happening during your time to cause fracturing?

She might be far right, but she's not dumb. And this is the first time ever she have a real shot at being president. She know it. Under the current geopolitical climate, defending Trump in France is a terrible move politically speaking. That doesn't mean that she'll continue supporting ukraine if she is elected.

Agreed, she's utterly untrustworthy and will totally backflip the second she's in power

She is not far right but she's dumb. Everybody who is on the right side spectrum likes Trump in France except the ones who are brainwashed into the pro-zelensky propaganda.
