I for one feel like we need to shift away from the US. Cut our losses on the AUKUS and position more closely with Canada, UK and New Zealand. Most of our trade is Japan, South Korea and Chine so makes sense if we even move closer to them as well. I would not be fussed either way as long as it was away from the US.
Definitely time to think about a nuclear program as well.
As an American, i believe everyone should shift away from us. We’ve shown that we can’t be trusted. Hopefully this will pass, but until then we need to be put into time out.
