The documents show the fallout for the US in Bahrain, Indonesia and Azerbaijan as it struggles to catch up with pro-Iran messaging.
The Iran war is risking America’s global security ties and damaging its reputation, especially among the world’s Muslims, according to a set of State Department cables obtained by POLITICO.
The cables, dated Wednesday, described the fallout of the war for America’s standing in three countries in different parts of the world: Bahrain, Azerbaijan and Indonesia.
U.S. diplomats at embassies in the countries’ capitals painted damning portraits of an America under siege in multiple media spheres by pro-Iranian actors that are exceptionally agile in the digital space.
Your closest allies are aghast and trying to work out how to divorce themselves from what they thought was a great relationship.
It’s hardly surprising that those who were at best ambivalent are now actively hostile.
What exactly did you expect.
Enjoy your new best buddy Russia.
If it were just divorce, that would not be as bad. Former allies are increasingly concerned they are going to be the next target of Trump’s greed. Canada and Europe, automatic American allies forever, have to make contingency plans for a US invasion. That’s absolutely nuts.
Divorce proceedings happens to be a time in which domestic abuse tends to spike. So it’s actually a pretty apt description.
It’s like being in a relationship with an abusive spouse. You act like everything in okay on the surface, if not a little detached, and then once all of your planning is in place, you execute it before they have a chance to react.
Since vietnam. Europe should have started decoupling from the US empire but they was benefiting from american imperialism
Please stop writing shit like this like those of us reading it have any control over the situation. Russia will not be my “buddy.”
I’m not your buddy, paren.
