  1. Of course they are. Anyone with an ounce of sanity and understanding of security required for these kinds of things is alarmed by the utter and sheer incompetence displayed by united states current administration.

  2. So you’re telling me the strongest military in the history of the world leaking military plans against a terrorist organization is alarming its allies? Shocked, I am shocked

  3. I’m personally alarmed by the down right acceptance of a war with Yemen that everyone is having. So incredibly blasé about the contents of the leaked text messages. Should there be a hearing about going to war with Yemen as well? Wasn’t only congress that can declare war not the president?

  4. Since taking office, the Trump administration has halted government funding for programs that support democratic principles around the world 

    Do people still believe usaid, is the good guys?

  6. I think you’ll find it will take the US a decade to get over the damage to their reputation. Not just from this issue. Business, tourism, diplomacy… you name it. Their world-wide reputation is in ruin. Multiple nations have issued travel warnings against the United States. I have no idea how long it will take the US to gain that trust back. I think it will be at least a decade.

  7. ‘Allies’? I’m not convinced we’re even that anymore.

    TBH, some of the rhetoric makes sense; the US has been the backbone of defence for years, but not because of altruism,  because of sales by the military-industrial complex.

    I personally see little point in bombing Houthis, and would rather my money be spent on more supportive policies, but this has demonstrated just how reliant we are on the whims of a US president.
