People from Europe: Since the US is moving away from the western world we know, who do you see us collaborate more with in the future? (lemmy.ml)

For me it would probably be Canada. Seems like we share alot of values with them, and we could do more trading than we do today.

Especially if they also will have tensions with the US, it would be a win win.

But what do you guys think? Northern Africa would be an obvious choice in the future, but I don't know if they're ready.

PS. This is not a post talking about leave the US entirely. Ofc not. It would just be better for us to work with others and expand our worldview a little.

What does this mean? The whole world is moving right. How is the US leaving the northern powers

The whole world is not moving right in the same way as the US right now.

In Europe we get more rights, and in the US you loose your right to abortion entirely.

The US is now trying to take Panama, Canada and Greenland, which sounds alot like dictatorships like Russia and China.

So no, no one else in the western world is moving towards that. But I'm sure both Musk and Zuckerberg want you to see it that way on their platforms.

Then you haven’t paid attention to European elections.

This is a massive, massive exaggeration of the state of abortion access in the US.

Trump likes to bluster. The US will not be invading Panama, Canada, or Greenland.

The US isn't moving like you think it is moving. And that seems to be throwing off your views on how European and US relations have been and will continue to develop over the next decade.
