UN’s Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese: “I truly hope that people will stay calm, will not panic, and will remember that the international community is made of 193 states, and this is the time to give the US what it has been looking for – isolation!”

True. I still find him spineless. Perhaps that is just reticence on his part. He quickly caved to a certain section of the Jewish Lobby whilst other Jewish voices are silenced. Hopefully things will improve. Fingers, toes & eyes crossed for a better 2026.

They're not going to forgive quickly. We're the bad boyfriend who stumbles through the door hungover with no shirt after 2 weeks in Vegas saying "Honey forgive me, I'll never do it again." Except we did it twice. America cannot be trusted because we're too damn stupid.

You forgot the part where the rest of the world spends time working on themselves after spending the holidays in a small town where everyone cares about each other. Credits roll as the bad boyfriend cries outside because he's made bad choices and nobody invites him for tea.

More. You have a fascist regime because US society is broken. First, Americans must agree fascism is bad. Then, overthrow the regime & punish them. Then, fix your society (wage inequality, racism, guns, electoral districting, campaign finance, SCOTUS, etc). After all that, we can talk.

Why not the UK? Surely, you, as a Canadian, still have considerably more say in the UK's surrendering the permanent seat. Surely, you do not trust the UK after Brexit. Their rushing to kiss Trump's ass being an additional reason .

It’s a comforting sentiment, but while Trump may have to leave office someday, the 70+ million who voted for him won’t give up. The rest of the world cannot and will never trust the US electorate to do the right thing. We’ll always need to watch for fascism to rear up again.

Yes the rest of the world is disgusted by the Americans who re-elected that horror but your real future problems will stem from your erstwhile allies making other trade, intelligence and defence arrangements. Very difficult, maybe impossible, to reverse that. Gonna hit your economy real hard.

I'm sure there are, but it certainly doesn't look like anything much is being done to end it. In any event closing out the US is nothing to do with anger, it's purely pragmatic. But it will reverse the very privileged role America has held for over a century.

And I strongly encourage them to not trust the US and as a US citizen it makes me so sick to have to say that. Think of us as you would Russia

I wouldn’t. We’ve proven we’re perpetually only one election cycle from fascist insanity AND populated by millions of clueless morons. We don’t deserve their forgiveness. We’re going to have to earn it back and that’s going to take decades at the very least.

It will take a long time before other countries trust the US. Structural change is necessary for the US to rejoin a community of nations. Reform that limits the power of an imperial presidency.

Part of the issue for the US is that Americans haven't come to terms with the fact that Trump is a symptom, not the root cause. Until you first admit that you have a societal problem, and then actively work to fix it, you will not be trusted by any democracy in the world.

Nobody are all good guys. Nobody are good guys always. If the world looks at the US in 2025 and its conclusion is, "nah, can't happen anywhere, it's something in the water", the world deserves every Franco, Orban, and Fagare.

Sure, they can forgive quickly. Rebuilding lost trust is not easily done. That relies on words and actions. What will we up to the task? Will we be consistent in the effort? Beyond saying we should, I don't think anyone has the answer.

Not all the people. Those who support this monster and his administration don't get a pass. Because of their actions we are all painted with the same brush. Those of us who haven't gone along with the madness need to hold them to account. We won't be trusted for a long time.

IMO this has been the MAGA plan. be so beligerrent and insufferable that no one can work with the US and anymore and everyone pulls away. This was the point of the tariffs. After ppl start breaking off MAGA goes "Look they weren't our real friend they left us.." and hten lean into putin

Well-said. I hope that we can get our act together and that, eventuallyour erstwhile allies *might* deign to speak to us again. We know it's gonna take a couple of generations to earn back the trust the MAGA fools destroyed in less than a year, but maybe in 3-4 years, we can to begin to try.

For the good people of the world, it won’t take generations. It will take now. We are watching how the American people can do this, and we know you can - protests/people shutdown etc. what you do now will define you. Not trump. You!!!! And trust will come back. Get yourselves strong.

Thank you. Sometimes I just want to lay on the floor & bawl like a baby. I forget sometimes: not one of us has to do this alone; and most of us are working, speaking out, protesting, shutting stuff down, trying to take our nation & way of life back from these pigs. Thank you for reminding me.

It’s ok to have a cry. Our bodies need a somatic release as well. I generally watch a dog movie that lets the tears flow. Also why hugs are very important. A lot of love and support comes from hugs. Our bodies need releases just as much as our thinking brains. Hugging you from afar ❤️

Please know the majority of Americans despise the current despot who is unfortunately in office in America. We support the UN and NATO. Bear with us until this dreadful period is over. We , with sadness, understand your feelings with our country. We would feel the same way do not give up on us.

Everyone forgave Germany. So far, what they did was worse. The idea that you can’t forgive us and trust us is pretty sad to me. I know you’re hurt. I would be too. I am. I’m a child of immigrants. I know what the idea of the US means. But to say never? I assume it’s the heat of the moment.

It can, but it takes time and work. It has to be preceded by honest change. It will be a long time before they trust us, and the clock doesn't start until we clean up the current infection and take steps to prevent it from ever happening again.

Nobody here is anti-American and nobody from our US friends needs to apologize for the maga idiots. Got an M.A. in American literature and I am just pissed as hell of what has become of the country banning my favourite books from public libraries.

Societal shunning is a peaceful means of protecting civilized society from those who selfishly seek to destroy it. Ostracism (from the Greek word ostrakismos) was used by ancient Athenians when citizens who posed a threat to their society were banished from Athens for 10 years.

I thought nato was supposed to protect any member country that comes under attack? Well the US is under attack. And it's pretty obvious that the government isn't up to the task of protecting the people. Help us NATO. You are our only hope.

We are not talking about other leaders. Why is it always “but what about what they did” in America. Is it a culture thing. Does everyone think like this. It’s across your politics, but to see citizens start the whataboutism means you’re still not looking inward enough.

It’s about time the international community said this out loud. Sadly, we all saw this coming but millions of Americans voted for the malignant narcissist felon. It’s beyond comprehension. The world is watching the rapid demise of the U.S. as a result of the Trump regime and their oligarch masters.

It’s not about Europe, it’s about the states.!Yes, the world order is changing. The best we all can do now is come in tight with community, share your resources and skills, minimise digital footprint, and be aware of what info you are giving out to the system. You know, the human way. We will be ok

CH canceled F-35 buys as well as Denmark switching to SwedishSaab Gripen. Poland won't buy Patriot but German IRIS-T & French systems. Germany & Sweden teamed up producing next gen Taurus cruise missille bunker busters, all adavanced chips in the USA depend on Dutch ASML 😎

"Hello USA, this is a recording. At the tone, you can leave a message to request anything you might need. We'll do our best to provide it. Our feelings for you haven't changed, USA. But after everything that's happened, we just need a little space.”

The rest of the world seems to know something that you don’t yet. We are watching you implode, your people fighting each other, your national debt, the distractions your falling for, the confusion and hurt, your full reliance on other countries. If the outside world sanctions the US, he has to cave.

Yep. If we learn from this it will help our country evolve. If the grievance culture persists we will blame the world for the self inflicted wounds we're giving ourselves.

Please American people come back to us. Can’t you do a no confidence vote. Is this a thing. Otherwise just protest everyday. Everyday. Every humanitarian American. Instead of a government shutdown, just a people shutdown. It might be painful, but sitting in this is so much more damaging.

Thank you, MAGA. We're being ostracized by the world, except for Russia, China, North Korea, Israel and the many Arab states that have deals with the Trump crime family.

As an American- cut us off! The sooner the evil soulless & the moronic maga who voted for him feel the pain for their stupidity, the sooner we can cast off this putrescence. I will take the pain gladly if it means we rid ourselves of trump. (We just watched the princess bride- hence the language)

I would. My problem is that I work with kids- public school- low income families- it’s like healthcare- hard to walk away from kids. But if there is a national walkout - I will participate m.

Off topic a bit- but have you listened to Ren? Independent artist from wales sings/ raps speaks about mental health and greed and homeostasis. I’ve become a mega fan- first time ever in my 60 years. Your profile reminded me of him

Please understand, it's not all of us. Most of us detest this abomination of an administration. This administration does not truly represent the majority of the people. But, much like some groups, the loudest people with the loudest megaphone, drown out the sensible, reasonable, mature voices.

Unfettered capitalism and religion in politics is what have brought this about. It isn’t just Trump. 80 years of America First has taught us not to trust America no matter who the president is. ‘We’ll make you buy our arms and we might protect you.’

And that’s exactly what tramp is looking for! To completely Isolate Us and he’s definitely succeeded with his lack of tact and diplomacy and his stupid ass tariffs! I don’t blame other countries for dumping TACO 🌮 though, they need to for their survival!

It's (1) adorable and (2) not what we are seeing from the individual foreign heads of states who rush to pick Trump's dropped notes I am having 2016 "Russia" vibes when everyone talked how it had to be isolated and everyone still picked Putin's calls.

She’s saying what needs to be said to the global community. America used to be the “teacher”; we led the brigade for truth, justice, democracy. Under trump/GOP leadership, our country will be looked upon as just another aggressor. A Russia. No allies. And 3 more years of this dreck? Can we survive?

Isolation now, but what comes after that, after Trump? He will not be, cannot be, there in the White House forever. USA tried isolation before, before WWI, before WWII, before realising warfare & arms manufacture is profitable.
