Zone1 Are allies worth keeping ?

[Tommy Tainant]

Given the isolationist mood in the US at the moment I thought it worth posing the question.
Is there any value on keeping alliamces ?
Can nations do it on their own ?
Is America or the world safe inder isolationist politics and why ?

We could do it. Were one of few nations that could. Unfortunately, we won’t.

George Washington's no permanent alliances.

Time to move on because Washington knew it was corrupting, and we see how corrupting it has become through Ukraine.

Trump is not capable of being anyone's ally.

So we will have do wait on the election.

We don't have allies on our borders. They have no choice.
