Why the heck and when was the United States considered reliable?
Reliable in what context?
Oh I see defensively reliable.
It might not make a lot of sense to overwhelmingly rely your national defense on a partner separated by an ocean.
I'm glad the EU is taking more responsibility for their own defense, and I'm also surprised to see so many European leaders acting surprised that they should have to, or the idea of a European defense as a novel idea.
The US was considered reliable because, until Trump, both parties had identical foreign policy.

It's going to be this way every election, ain't it? Basically two year election cycle of Trump once again running, all the fears of him winning, then he looses, and we get next 4 years of him talking shit and "raising concerns".
It's not about Trump (the dude may not even live much longer, he looks awful).
It's about all the people who support his values and way of thinking and use him as a distraction while they erode democratic rights and processes. America is undergoing a tremendous divide which may lead to the federation coming apart and individual states breaking away. That's what's worrying the rest of us, not the POTUS making a fool of himself on TV.

God I wish, US's balkanization would be such a blessing to the entire world.

That sounds like an overall good thing though? Especially for the rest of the world.

I really don't see him running in 2028. I don't think his health/Republican money would both line up and support that

When can I, an international with an interest in the US election, commit money to a political party? Or do I need to be a corporation?
Just apply to open a LLC in a business friendly city online. Now you can funnel money to our politicians legaly from anywhere in the world.

Canada has straight up said we have a doomsday plan if the US goes really wonky.

If they're concerned, they should just pump money into our politics like Russia, Saudi Arabia, and others. Until it works for Dems, the Republican controlled Supreme court won't rule it illegal.
Citizens think it's becoming unreliable regardless of who's president.
Welp, time for Europe to start making nukes again. What could possibly go wrong?
