Donald Trump’s Destruction Of Trust With NATO Nations Undermining American And International Cooperation And Intelligence Gathering!

Donald Trump has destroyed any trust that NATO nations have in American government leadership, after he made the outrageous accusation that NATO nations did not contribute anything worthy to their participation in the Afghanistan War after the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The fact is that all of the nations in NATO sent troops, and lost many, in size of their populations, in that Afghanistan War, including Denmark, which has been pressured to give control of Greenland to the United States, an action that will never be approved by NATO or Denmark and Greenland.

The deleterious effect of unstable Donald Trump’s utterances have ended any possibility that there will be the same intimacy and collaboration of the so called “Five Eyes” nations (US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand)–all English speaking nations–on intelligence gathering, which has existed for many decades.

It will also make other nations in NATO who have also collaborated and cooperated with the United States–including France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,The Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain–be hesitant to engage in the same relationship with the US that it has had.

The Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom (Keir Starmer) and Canada (John Carney), have issued outraged statements, and demands of apology for the horrible, uncaring statements Trump has issued. Trump has responded lamely on this matter, so the international world order established after World War II is in its death knell, as the nations listed above, plus others in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East will pause and reconsider how they best protect their own security and safety, with Donald Trump clearly seen as more of a danger than a reliable ally!

Two Close Allies, Canada And Australia, Vote Against Trumpism!

This past week has been amazing in two close English speaking allies, Canada and Australia.

Both had “liberal” governments that were unpopular and seemed likely to lose Parliamentary control to more conservative parties that were seen as closer to Donald Trump.

But both nations just had parliamentary elections, and the liberal parties that had been in trouble swept to victory in major upsets.

And in both nations, the leader of the opposition conservatives lost his seat in the Parliament.

So Donald Trump, by his arrogance and belligerence toward close allies, has undermined the special arrangement America has had with those four nations that speak English, including New Zealand and the United Kingdom, along with Canada and Australia.

Their special intelligence arrangement has been known as “Five Eyes”, but now Trump has destroyed that special alliance and closeness, undermining American national security and world national security at the same time.

New Zealand and the United Kingdom also will see the need to end their reliance on the United States intelligence and security apparatus, undermining America and making war much more likely, with America not having close, reliable allies.

What has existed for many decades has been destroyed by Trump, and it will not be easy or likely even after he is gone in the future, to restore the old trust that “Five Eyes” nations had for each other.
