The feeling is mutual. The majority of people in the EU are downgrading USA to "necessary partner" now and one fifth sees USA as an ally. Two thirds feels cooperation should be reduced.
Well played Putin, well played.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I mean an emancipation of the EU from the US is well overdue, Trump or not.
A lot of Americans are poorly educated in international relations and politics and genuinely do not understand the fallout of Trump’s choices/statements. We sadly will all suffer to some degree because of this ignorance
Fucking brain dead... Trump can't even string a coherent sentence together, yet it's enough to convince these mouth breathers to turn on Canada?
Why the rise in democrats tho?
Splash damage
Centrists
Just because Democrats are more resistant, they are not immune to propaganda.
Tariffs that don't exclusively impact red states, I guess?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP repeatedly claims that the European Union was “formed in order to screw the United States”. Canada, America’s northern neighbour and second-largest trading partner, is “one of the nastiest countries”. Russia was “doing what anyone would do” when it bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a pause in American intelligence sharing. Our polling with YouGov shows how this rhetoric is reshaping people’s opinions about their countries’ allies.

I thought I was immune to the insanity, but I'm flabbergasted again. Did he really say that?
And this is why everyone who says "they won't invade Canada because too many people like us" are sadly mistaken. Trump constantly tells them how nasty we are and the media has started its disinformation to lay the groundwork for invasion.
MAGA is the enemy.
Fascism is the enemy. Maga is just one version.
You mean MAGAts hate our allies. Decent humans love other decent humans.
Well, it is a “sin” to emphasize with others.
You do see the rise on the Democrats line too, no?
Meanwhile I am learning to dislike my fellow Americans to the point where I am starting to think violence might be the only viable solution.
No chart for Israel? Curious...
Where is the line for enemies separating you from your allies so they will not be there when you need them?
So the data shows explicitly that it's not Americans but Republicans but well just go ahead and generalize.
Fantastic journalism.
Okay I get Republicans (jk I don't) but why is the same thing happening to Democrats?
70% of our media is controlled by Nazis especially the news at a local level. Propaganda at that level eventually worms it's way into the opposition party.
Democrats differ from Republicans in degree not kind of ideology.
Resentment towards how the world is rightly talking about US being fucking dumbasses, possibly?
I mean fair enough but with that framework they'd only change their opinion of these places when their ideological leaders tell them to, which I don't think has happened yet.
I'm not sure the Democrats even have ideological leaders.
They think they don't, but many/most of them worship the neoliberal political establishment in a weird abusive relationship kind of way. Listen to your average high-information liberal talk about Gaza dissent in the 2024 election and you'll see what I mean. Around here saying that the Democrats needed to change course or they'd lose was enough to get you branded as a Russian troll.
Stockholm syndrome?
Fucking bootlickers.
Thing is, I don't care if an idiot doesn't like me. I know whatever reasons he has are invalid.
Unfortunately that idiot also has a gun
We also have idiots with guns (and bombs)
Not sure if it's reassuring yet
Interesting that for Democrats Canada has had more "unfriendly" responses than the EU even before the sanctions. Maybe because the EU is less relevant to them since Canada directly borders the US?
Lmao
