I have to agree with you.  We were neighbours, friends, trading partners
and military allies for generations. It is sort of like having a
cheating spouse or a crooked business partner. You can move past the
damage they do but you will never trust them again.   Trump likes to
bitch and whine about how other countries owe the US for protecting
them.  Yes, thanks for finally stepping up and helping 2-3 years into
the conflicts and tipping the balance but please remember you tried your
damnedest not to do any of the fighting.
 
The sentiment up here is that we are thoroughly pissed at the US and
have lost faith and respect and I don't think many will get over it
soon. The front runner in the election has indicated that we need to map
a new future, one without the US.  We do not want to be part of the US.
We are pissed that Trump would even suggest it. And all those resources
that the US wants and needs.... we gladly sold you in the past, but this
current situation means we need to look for new buyers, so good luck
with that.

Right now, I'd be afraid to do any international travel.  Maybe the
Heard and McDonnel Islands would be OK

Those penguins could be pretty pissed off about their 10% tariffs!
