It won’t be enough. Even if they do one, our allies know ~80 Million US Citizens will turn on them at the drop of a hat, the second a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, conman tells them our allies are “bad” and “stealing from us”. So our allies are separating themselves from us. They are getting rid of our technology, goods, and services. That will cost the US Trillions in losses, from Visa/Mastercard alone, but it also costs us Safety. Because those allies won’t be as willing to share Intel with us. Many have already cut off Intel sharing. And that’s the way we stay safest.
I don’t think it matters. The rest of the world has already learned that the US can only be trusted for four years at a time at best.
It’s not like people are going to start trusting Russia either once Putin is gone.
The best apology will be executions.
Fascism is the one case where I’m willing to bend my morality regarding the death penalty. It should be considered a form of treason.

Yeah, don’t apologize, be better. Starting with rooting out all the fascist dickheads. Other nations shouldn’t take anything we say seriously until the holes that made this situation possible are filled.
No.
Apologies won’t do shit since Americans have shown they’re absolute morons by electing Trump twice and Republicans constantly. The American people have shown that America is too stupid to govern.
If by some miracle progressives and non-republican Democrats get elected into majority power they’d be better off simply passing legislation to ensure Republicans can never have power again if they actually want to get the world to trust America again.
It is in many ways frightening to think that a population that is largely uninterested in what happens in the wider world gets to vote for the president who holds the most power in the entire world
I used to be a pacifist. This goddamn regime killed that pretty damn quick.
Look to Hungary for advice. We’re trying to systematically clean out every trace of the old regime. It’s not easy and probably won’t be perfect but people are being arrested.
Reading the comments here, It seems my disabled, poor ass is never going to get to leave the USA, even if I had the means. I voted against the orange regime and it’s similar evils over the years… And yet, I will be condemned to the mass grave that is soon to be America. I guess know that I genuinely tried my best, from talking relatives on how the orange was evil, to helping people vote for candidates that aligned more with the world’s values, and protested even if it wasn’t on the street, it was in my own way… Because I’m disabled in the USA… and it sometimes difficult to even survive, let alone topple an evil regime. But if I am to be lumped in with rest of the pigs if the US… I guess. When you find my body, you’ll wonder how a human got in the pig mass grave.
Yep! That’s how it goes.
You can see something similar if you look at Ukraine threads talking about Russians, or Gaza threads talking about Israelis.
Humanity sure has a lack of humanity. Its… Really not fair. I’ve been against this type if evil all my life… And my reward is that get to die with them… It really isn’t fair… Like comicly unfair. For me nor for them. So why try anymore?
We continue to try because it is our duty to humanity. We struggle because it is right to struggle for goodness. And together we hope that by our struggles we can impact the world for the better and move towards an international community of those who struggle for goodness.
The evil wish us to despair and stop.
I… I see… Ill try, though, I will not be able to do much. Not because I don’t want to, but because my body has decided that a little is all I’m allowed to do.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Just wish I knew how he copes with dispare.
Well, there’s a whole book about it. Matter of fact, the dude wrote many books on the topic.
Type “one must imagine Sisyphus happy” into your search engine of choice.
Did some reading. I’ve suffered most of my life and I’ve watched my own boulder roll down the hill many times. It seems Sisyphus didn’t have any physical conditions that made it harder each time. No wonder he is happy. He is struggling, but not in pain that isn’t self inflicted. So he can take his happy ass and keep on a pushing like a mother who continues to raise thier kids despite those kids draining everything they held dear. Or the a farmer who enjoys the tough summer days.
But, me, all my strength was taken from me via disease. All my stamina snapped away due to a body who aches to die but a soul that stays alive because my death would mean the sarrow for many.
As much as I sacrificed, as much as I suffer, and as much cry out in pain only known to a select few, there is no reward, there is no peace, and there is no happiness.
He can stay happy, he is a useful machine to those in power. Contact me when he figures out that the gods themselves are the evil ones.
Hmm. Well, it is pretty clear you didn’t do any reading.
Do you think the US needs to apologize just because of Trump?
Every History book is full of things that the US should already been accountable for
Oh I could give a laundry list of shit that America needs to apologize for.
The difference is, no one is placating us anymore… or no one should.
And yet they did not.
Hopefully there will be no next president. Let the country end with this one.
The US so broken that if they want to apologize, SCOTUS, congress, and the senate are have to each as a whole go around to every Provincial capital and apologize on their knees. After they threatened to invade Canada and Denmark we demand no less. The legislative branch is equally guilty, they are just letting this happen. And yes we don’t care if it was 51% of the executive branch, the dems are part of the problem.
Somewhat. Reversing a lot of policies and respecting allies again will go a long way, but it’s going to take some time. New pathways have already been forged that will leave the usa somewhat excluded and behind. They will be a diminished nation from what they once were, and that would be a good thing, as they no longer shared any values with most of the rest of the world. trump is nothing more than the lipstick on the pig that has become “america”.
Friend, the next President of the United States is either going to be Trump, Vance, or Elon Musk.
And there will be no apologies.
Sadly, that’s the direction things are headed.
I would
I think that before any apologies can be made, the next president would have to send trump & his entire administration to trial, convict them, and sentence them.
Also, they would have to work on passing legislation to make sure another trump never happens (remove the loopholes, the excess of power to the executive branch, the corruption in all three branches, citizens united, the heritage foundation).
…and then do an apology tour. Apologies would mean nothing, if four years later we’re in a position to do the same bullshit again. We need to prove that we can be stable, reliable, and resilient. Make sure our house is in order. THAT’S the apology the world needs to hear.
The oligarchy will never charge one of their own, I’ve been saying this since before Biden went in and we saw first hand they will do nothing to hold him accountable. This is what happens when they all answer to the same people
Your comment prompted my memory of what I think Benjamin Franklin said when the country was born. In response to the question of what type of government they’d designed, he said something to the effect of: “A democracy, if you can keep it.”
Even then, they were mindful of some of the weaknesses of their grand design
