I can assure you this flipped after yesterdays Rubio/musk stunt.
Looking at sentiment towards the USA in Africa it is clear that there is quite a lot of goodwill.
This is merely anti-American propaganda, and that has not changed. As I continue to say, the anti-American will become anti-EU in short order, with all the empty hate- and fearmongering. Obviously something EU or DE related instead of US like defense. Get the laughs in while you can, because the downsides of myopia are far and wide.
Having to defend yourselves is going to be expensive. Which means either higher taxes or lower social spending. Someone has to be to blame, and keep it real, we know who. For everything. And we don't care.
