Absolutely, they already do in USA, but the rest of the world is more complex with a multitude of different local conditions to exploit, and requires way more work, so AI would be an even bigger help for making US propaganda for foreign countries.
If they were planning on “attacking” Russia that has been extremely hostile themselves, I wouldn’t have a problem. But Trump is looking to attack traditional allies and is making them enemies!!
Most of Europe already no longer consider USA a reliable ally! And Trump continues to make it worse.

I wonder if most of europe believes they could successfully fight a war against Russia, USA, China, Iran, North Korea, Syria… etc. I know Europe doesn’t/didn’t want to help the US avoid their current fascist dictatorship, so I wonder what they imagine the result would be in conflict against the new axis of evil.

It is not Europe that is alienating USA, it’s the other way around. Apparently USA believe they don’t need allies, because they are acting hostile against allies, while being extremely friendly to Russia.
Neither USA or EU stand a chance against China alone, we need to cooperate, but USA is not cooperating they are being confrontational and undermining EU and just about every other ally even Canada which for decades has been the closest ally to USA, and helped USA every single time USA called for it. So has Denmark, yet USA threaten to take Greenland!!

Stop grouping the American people in with the President, most of us didn’t vote for him.

I visited the US (small town in NY) in 2022 and every other lawn had a bunch of small Trump flags. Not even a presidential election year.
I fully believe a large share of the country voted for him at this point. Doesn’t mean that he’s absolved of fuckery in swing states

First of all, I hate what’s happened to the US, but with that said…
There was a good decade or so where Russia was running a pretty obvious disinfo campaign against US citizens while literally setting up a Manchurian candidate in Donald trump. We already know to some extent that Europe had intel on the situation and really didn’t do jack shit to try and prevent what has turned into Russian backed dictatorship.
So I disagree with you on the subjection of alienation. I would argue that the EU set itself up to be alienated through its inaction.
On the subject of allies, I don’t think there is a single person in the US that really believes it doesn’t need allies. The US has just traded its western allies for eastern ones. Trump has been cozying up to other dictators around the world since his first term. These days he’s very friendly with Putin.
So again, I disagree with you.
And I find it pretty fucking hilarious that you’re talking about the US cooperating with the EU when the EU has done fuck all to help prevent what’s happened to it. If there is war between these nations, there is almost no way the US will be allied with the EU. The US is a dictatorship and it will ally itself with other dictatorships.

Oh boy the ignorance of that statement is so big I don’t even know where to begin.
First of all the cooperation of 28 countries to prevent war among themselves is far from not doing jack shit. Secondly EU has worked hard to avoid war through cooperation, but not as much militarily to end them. But still most European countries have been at the side of USA when they asked for it.
I’m sorry, your narrow ignorant perspective is simply not a level I really care to debate at.

The thinking that any of the current fallout in the US is foreign-led is not giving any good explanations for the reality we observe and therefore procides no good solutions. What you’re observing is primarily driven by the oligarch class in the US finding new ways to extract profit. That drives everything. It drives Fox, it drives the Heritage Foundation, it drives turning both parties in oligarch-serving machines. Feeding this machine with resources from the outside is a bad idea since most of those resources would be captured by the oligatchs. The only way out of this is to get an internal populist left movement to curb their power, reposses most of their resources and redestribute them to the masses.

It wasn't the EU's role to defend our internal politics. It was ours.
And we were also trying to be careful. More careful than we should have been.
The goal was to remain as non-partisan as possible while giving the public enough info to make the right decision. We all failed in that.

What the actual fuck is “Europe doesn’t/didn’t want to help the US avoid their current fascist dictatorship” supposed to mean ?
What exactly do you think European countries should have done to stop Mango Mussolini being elected ?
Send in German troops to the red states to stand next to the ballot boxes and turn away MAGA voters ?
Send Keir Starmer to hand out leaflets for Harris at the Walmart in ButteFuck Wyoming ?
You dumb fucks voted for him, we can’t fix that for you. We certainly can’t send military in - the US has spent 50 years persuading and forcing the EU to be militarily weak (and 10 years bitching about the consequences of their own diplomatic efforts)
Piss off with this idiocy.

I’m sick to death of these ignorant fucking comments. I see them, I block. Read about what the US did for its european allies during the cold war to get some semblance of an idea, beyond that I couldn’t give two shits for your opinions.
