Trump has made it so we cannot be trusted by our allies, and that makes us less safe because they will stop sharing intel that has helped keep us safe.
Two things.
FIRST? The U.S. could fight a war against the ENTIRE ******* PLANET. . . and if no nukes are used? Americans would be fine and safe enough.
SECOND? If you follow the intelligence world at all, there is very little that Europe could tell us that we don't already know.
. . . except for maybe the Five Eyes Agreement. And TBH? I have been suspect that it was GCHQ that did the spying on Trump for the Obama administration. . .so?
I don't really care.
Our so-called "allies," just want to influence and subvert our nation, it has been this way since the founding, and it will continue. Why? Because they have always been our closest economic and military competitors.
YOU, of all folks, should be aware of that. The Europeans funded and supported the Confederacy, while it was the Russians, which prevented them from getting directly involved, since Alexander supported Lincoln.

The last thing the Europeans wanted, was a continental conflict that arose from meddling in American internal affairs.
But, they would have had it not been for Russia.
The simple, undeniable fact is, the Europeans had never considered,
"All men are created equal," as a simple truth as we do here.
Hell, they still don't. Titles still mean something in Europe. It is likely why Prince Harry won't consent to be an American. . . b/c by convention, (or law?) he'd have to give that shit up.
Their society relied on the remnants of Feudalism and Aristocracy. . . . Thus, for a Euro-elites, paying for kidnapped person from Africa to do work in the New World made perfect sense. The serfs of Europe had no more rights than the slaves. . . so what did they care?
For them, it is simple economics.
Yup, w/o Europe, America probably would have just relied more on imported cheap labor and indentured servants. But nope, the Euro-elite trash saddled us with an economic system that depended on slaves. . . much like the current U.S. ruling elites have done with illegals.
