Exclusive: poll across 15 countries finds ‘deep mistrust’, with majority doubting US would come to their aid in an attack
European confidence in an American “security guarantee” has hit a historic low, a survey suggests, with only one in 10 people across 15 countries seeing the US as an ally and majorities in all doubting it would come to their aid if they were attacked.
The survey, published on Wednesday by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank before critical G7 and Nato summits in France and Turkey over the coming weeks, revealed “deep European distrust in the US”, the authors said.
It also showed that, while many Europeans felt relations with Washington would improve once Donald Trump leaves office, they were increasingly ready in the meantime to protect themselves against US unreliability by bolstering Europe’s defence.
But the bozo we have in charge here is entirely transactional. So if Europe were attacked, the US might send help, but might send all out troops back via Greenland, then decide that it’s only fair for “Europe” to hand it over in exchange.
No doubt he would. He would probably ask the British Royal Family to hand over Canada as well… 😅
Iran has shown that the US military is toothless against a midweight power, so dont worry too much. And even now very few Americans would sign up to hurt Canadians. Canadian approval of Americans is super low, but Canada and Canadians still poll extremely high in the US. 80% approval of Canada, right now, although thats down from 91% two years ago.

No, he’d probably settle for Princess Charlotte. (But those attackers better be quick about it; in a few years she will be too old…)
