I’m not sure our “allies” consider us allies any more.

  It's deeper than that, it's about loyalties among you. Trump wants US military to get paid even with the federal government shutdown. [1] Like your executive fearing mercenaries changing their mind, instead of household troops staying in place when the pay chest takes a bit to show up.

We will be busy with the new boss, while trying to keep our democracies not going to crap too. New boss, worse boss than old boss.

  There are no “allies” only interests. Nobody is an “ally” of the US because they like us. They are “allies” because it’s in their own interest to be one. When China starts throwing its weight around in the Pacific you’ll pretty quickly see those “allies” cozy back up.
