Shared values do have meaning and an importance. They used to mean a fair bit especially when you needed to fight an aggressor.

Yeah, that's why we're also leaning into our relationship with Europe. We were fooled by Americans but we clearly do not in fact share values, and they're the aggressor we need to fight off here.

There's only a small subset of Americans who think this way, but they happen to be in power right now.

I would not blame people in US as I do not blame those in Russia or North Korea (or those in my country - which include myself). But unfortunately that is not relevant here.

Im not, I'm explicitly saying its the people in power who are small subset of the population.

So, out of the 2 countries situated north of Mexico, whose leader has taken a huge deviation from these "shared values"?

Is this a serious question?
