It's not about friendship but money.
- wood_spirit 24d agoThere is a friendly trusting common values part to this too.
- cisc 24d agoIt's more about predictability. America's become erratic and untrustworthy. America's made a deliberate choice make its reputation worse.
- usewik 24d agoEh, on a long enough timeline we have seen this and been there before. US is the beacon of democracy and the free world until it is not, and then until it again is. Depending on who is speaking and about whom and when. Most of these attention grabbing statements by politicians are usually about scoring political points at home. The only thing worthy of judgement are hard facts, and excruciating details, which are yet to materialize on this topic.
- arethuza 24d ago"US is the beacon of democracy" 40 years ago I probably would have agreed with this statement - these days, not at all.
- usewik 24d agoThis was a kind of example, and not really the point of my comment. Though to illustrate further, there are many examples one might find of US acting undemocratically even 40 years ago. So, politicians will talk, governments will be in power, and the observers will discuss. My invitation was simply to discuss known facts not political rhetoric. And main facts are largely absent and unknown.
- baxtr 24d agoFriendship is about values?
- frereubu 24d agoWhy not both?
- the_gipsy 24d agoThe true treasure is the friendship we made along the way.
