Summary

The Munich Security Conference report warns that Trump’s proposed territorial acquisitions, including Greenland, Panama, and Canada, have damaged the U.S.'s global standing, making it seen as a risk rather than a stabilizing force.

The report highlights the decline of U.S.-led global leadership amid a shift toward a multipolar world, with China and Russia expanding influence.

European leaders will press U.S. officials on NATO commitments and Ukraine support.

Survey data shows U.S. risks are now perceived as greater than Russia’s in many G7 nations.

    America was insulated from WW2 due to those whole “oceans” thing going on, but European countries take the threat of rightwing land grabbers a lot more seriously.

    A little Manifest Destiny don’t hurt nobody. Except for that one time. Well, maybe a couple times. Every time.

    In some senses this is exactly what Trump wants. He would refuse to be respectful and get respect diplomatically so instead its a “respect me or else” stance, both in an economically and militarily threatening sense.

    There’s only one person in America that’s making these idiotic proposals, so if it’s that much of a risk, it might be an easy thing for a group of foreign nations with some resources to rectify.

    The whole American hole freeway… A large 4 Lane freeway extending the 5fwy all the way down to Patagonia. Its 500ft underground so Mexico and the other Mexican nations wouldn’t be bothered. If they are bothered, they are more than welcome to try fill the hole with precious water…tunnel warfare!
