    Sorry, America. The world is breaking up with you. And the problem is you, not us.

    What a brief empire it was. Thanks Trump. Trump has had the singular effect in one year on the United States global status as did all the lead consumed by all the Romans over its final centuries. He has poisoned the nation.
    Your feelings and logic are fully justified. I'm counting the days.

    Nothing in our Constitution states we are the worlds policeman

    Personally we should put all countries on notice. You can defend yourselves from now on. Even Canada

    The US will still be the world leader when the next president elected, quit you're hysterical whining.

    We need to make sure that we bring back every brick, piece of wire, section of plumbing, etc. with us.

    Never again should the world trust in America's leadership.

    If the U.S gave up on Canada, you would be a third world nation in a year. You truly do know nothing.

    It's true, we're just another country (albeit the most beloved country). Welcome to the club (minus the love).

    If you are "just" another country, you should be able to support yourself without the United States help. What is taking you so long?

    How is the US supporting Canada? Go ahead and explain that.

    Well, the proof is in the pudding. Where is America's leadership now on any issue?
