It would appear the USA is now seen as an unreliable partner around the world.

Why can't we all live in peace?
Right across the world people seem to be angry. In the Middle East, the UK , the USA, nearly everywhere, people and nations seem to be angry.
Maybe this is human nature, but I am sure most people everywhere want to live in peace with enough to eat and drink and a secure home.
The main causes for conflict seem to be greed and insecurity.
Basically, people everywhere are the same.

This is a YouTube channel I very much like.
He is not afraid to say when he doesn't know something, but is always willing to try things. He is a real experimenter. See, for example, his latest video about his simple sferics receiver.
