Report published before international summit suggests US is moving away from a global leadership role

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.

    Why do you think that Europeans are as stupid as North Americans? Sure, here in Canada and the US we love to switch to worse options because “change” but generally the EU is much better about that kind of thing. They’ll strengthen their own militaries and continue working together as they have been.

    Also Russia? Really? The ones actually attacking European countries instead of just threatening? Really?

        Absolutely true, but at least right now they aren’t going to switching from the US to the country attacking them becauss they’re afraid of the US attacking them.

        “Hey, they might punch us in the face. Say, guy actively punching me in the gut, you like punching do you wanna be friends?”

        It’s just such a lame take.

          Oic, better the far right at home than the foreign far right. /s

          I think we need to start building inroads with our neighbors at home and abroad, and not wait on governments to do anything.
