Summary

A 24-country poll by the European Council on Foreign Relations shows European allies overwhelmingly oppose Donald Trump’s return to the White House, citing concerns for global peace.

Conversely, countries like India, China, Russia, and Brazil largely welcome a Trump 2.0 presidency, with many seeing him as committed to ending wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.

The survey reflects shifting global power dynamics, a weakening “Western alliance,” and growing influence of transactional politics.

    Some countries benefit from a weakened United State. Others benefit from a strengthened. You can guess which ones.

    “Authoritarian countries don’t seem to mind Trump’s impending presidency. Why is Europe overreacting?” Fuck off, Guardian.

    Because most of the world already knows the US as an aggressive imperialist hegemony. Why would that change under Trump?

    Well, of course. The US is extra shit to the rest of the world, so at the very least, someone else will be getting the attention. Probably even better, though; they’ll have an easier time tricking the incoming administration of dinguses into being nice.

        That would be interesting. A ghost peanut!

        We’re pretty sure it was a peanut, but it was never found… Some say he chewed it anyway. Some think we didn’t see it because it was orange. Yet others assure us that it was just Elon’s cum, I mean gum. But important researchers agree on one thing. But they don’t agree on this one…it was a ghost peanut that saved the USA. Not just any peanut, a Carter peanut.
