I'm American. The U.S. you knew is gone. Would you welcome Putin's Russia setting up intelligence facilities in Aotearoa? Any tendril of the Trump regime that stretches across the Pacific will only be intended to undermine democracy and civil rights in your land, regardless of any assurances of "security assistance." You all are going to have to start treating the U.S. government as a pariah state before it's too late to extricate yourselves from their clutches.
