Let’s do a better job at building cities that have public transportation and safe bike infrastructure. Then people will actually have a choice on how to get around and they don’t need a car. You could still use the car if you want to, but you wouldn’t have to.

What kind of bullshit answer is that? On the other hand, what else is he supposed to say? “Oh yeah, we burned through 90% of our ballistic missiles, we’re completely defenseless right now”?

Yeah, how about we all be a little more positive about the great war he started. Enjoy it a little bit, goddamn!

I agree. Most countries are trying to reduce their dependency on the USA right now. And why wouldn’t they, when the whole world can watch how Trump uses this dependency as a weapon against them.

I’m not sure if he doesn’t understand trust and soft power or doesn’t care. Maybe he realized that he is able to utilize it to temporarily get what he wants, which makes him look like a tough negotiator, and that someone else will have to deal with the long-term consequences of the broken trust.

I love it. We need to watch out for each other. We certainly can’t rely on the US anymore, even though some politicians haven’t accepted this new reality yet.
