Has Trump turned America into a rogue state? If so, what should other nations do about it?

[Doodley]

Free Dictionary definition: rogue state - a state that does not respect other states in its international actions.


A few examples of the disrespect that America has recently shown other nations:


Threatening other nations with sanctions if it doesn't do what America wants - most recently against Germany, France and UK regarding Iran.

Threatening "fire and fury like the world has never seen" against North Korea.

Pulling out of the Paris Agreement without providing any detailed explanation.

Childish Twitter attacks against other international leaders, for example the Mayor of London (who is Muslim).

Wanting to ban all Muslims from entering USA.

Lecturing other nations about NATO contributions/defense spending.

Calling other nations "shitholes."

Threatening other nations who don't support USA Football World Cup bid for 2026.

Stating a trade war with other nations.

Calling Mexicans "rapists and murderers."


Do you think America is now a "rogue state?" And if so, what, if anything, should other nations do about it?"

1. Other nations will turn their backs on America as tRump continues to turn America the

opposite of what it once was.

2. which Mr. Putin will be very happy

with to have us off the stage.

We have a treasonous POS squatting in the WH.

But you notice how tRump loves dictators and is isolating countries which used to be our allies, they will go it alone, and we will be shunned. Very dangerous for us right now.

America 1st???? no we will be isolated, this is not very insightful not for 2018.

6. What always makes me anxious are the number of damn fools in the US that support Trump and the

crime organization.

[bdamomma]

11. they are cut from a different cloth

and they will never admit they have made a big mistake.

[RKP5637]

12. Yep, I think that's true for a certain percentage that got swept up in the fanfare. n/t

[bdamomma]

13. they were

conned by a con man.

[RKP5637]

16. Yep, one of the all time greats. n/t

[bdamomma]

17. and Mr. Putin

saw the divide and capitalized on it, get a jerk elected and take down the US and make Russia great again. Unbelievable or should I say very unfortunate.

[RKP5637]

18. If Iran and Israel get into some type of war, the US is obligated to get involved

under NATO? Right?

[bdamomma]

19. I thought tRump

was not a fan of NATO, but we know how tRump likes to change the narrative especially when Mueller and this Michael Cohen situation is getting hotter.

[RKP5637]

21. So unpredictable because even he doesn't know what he says/thinks minute by minute. n/t

[world wide wally]

3. More of a pariah among nations

[RKP5637]

14. Yep, also if I lived in another country I doubt I would ever vacation or study in

America the way it is today. There are plenty of great places in the world to be.

[bdamomma]

20. I am an ex pat

and with all this happening I don't think I would not be in any great hurry to move back either.

What is that saying “My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”

But then again, if push comes to shove.

4. We've been there for a while (anybody remember Dimson Bush and his illegal war?).

But certainly now it is more extreme and more open.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. I don't know if I would classify us a "rogue" state yet

but our role on the world stage is certainly being diminished in a big way bit by bit and we are starting to be ignored by European countries. For all of the right-wing Republican blather about President Obama making the US look "weak" and "irrelevant", nobody could actually make us look worse than Donald Trump has so far. George W. Bush got the ball rolling on making us a pariah state with only a brief interlude with Obama where we were respected again.

8. Well said!!! n/t

[Kirk Lover]

7. Our allies will wait this out...hoping that the ship will be righted. If this type keeps "winning"

we are in trouble.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. Agreed.

I just hope that Trump doesn't start to actively lash out at our European allies.

[RKP5637]

15. Yep, they are watching and the clock is ticking. n/t

[dembotoz]

10. realize like china has, they can buy goods they used to buy from us elsewhere

do you continue to shop at the store that treats you like shit?
