Exclusive: US is less feared by its traditional adversaries, while its allies feel ever more distant, results show

A year after Donald Trump’s return to the White House, a global survey suggests much of the world believes his nation-first, “Make America Great Again” approach is instead helping to make China great again.

The 21-country survey for the influential European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank also found that under Trump, the US is less feared by its traditional adversaries, while its allies – particularly in Europe – feel ever more distant.

Most Europeans no longer see the US as a reliable ally and are increasingly supportive of rearmament, it found, while Russians now see the EU as more of an enemy than the US, and Ukrainians are looking more to Brussels than to Washington for support.

    Most Europeans hasn’t seen the US as a trusted ally since they invoked Article 5 over 9/11.

    This is what I did back in Age of Empires when I was in the second grade.

    In 4v4 I sent moved my builders behind my allies and turtled and never helped them when they got attacked. When they were down I used their ressources to build my army and let them feed me.

    But I lost anyways cause my enemies had 4 players (more army and ressources).

    The only difference is that it was a game, I was 7 or 8 years old and not the president of a huge country.

    Bro is copying my strat and he is also trying to steal team mates ressources, I never did that.
