America Stands Alone
How America's allies fell to the ideology of diversity and globalization
Read Time: Medium - About 6 minutes
Americans have noticed a trend in international news in recent years. Oppressive policies have been implemented against citizens to an alarming degree across the West. Marco Rubio’s recent speech at the Munich Security Conference last week about uniting the West against the threat of managed decline received overwhelming applause from European diplomats. Here are all the ways our allies have fallen.
Canada
Canada has squandered generations worth of wealth, refusing to harvest the vast natural resources within their borders in order to prevent climate change and respect indigenous land. Canada is now poorer than Alabama, going from the world’s 9th richest country to 27th over the last 10 years, according to the Global Quality of Life Index. However, their economic decline is not the worst of their problems. The peak COVID years unearthed a distinct authoritarian trend in Canadian politics under Justin Trudeau. Churches were forcibly shuttered, family gatherings were raided by police, and a peaceful gathering of truckers was targeted by federal authorities. In the end, bank accounts were frozen, massive police responses broke up family dinners, and the Canadian people suffered. Add to this the recent atrocity that is the Medical Aid In Dying program, or MAID, and you have a recipe for the modern day Fourth Reich. In fact, assisted suicide has become so prevalent in Canada that as of 2024, 1 in 20 Canadians now die from this program, and the numbers are most likely even more dire as of 2026.

Canadians often boast about their free healthcare, but stories like that of Mrs. B shed light on just how much “care” the Canadian government puts in “healthcare”. Mrs. B was an elderly woman in her 80’s dealing with ongoing health complications following a heart surgery. She required constant ongoing care due to her physical and functional decline, so she put in a request for hospice/palliative care. The request was denied by unnamed officials within the regional health system after she failed to meet the hospice criteria for end-of-life care. Apparently, she wasn’t close enough to death for the government to offer her care.
At that point, Mrs. B’s husband then reportedly asked for an urgent MAID assessment, which was quickly approved. She was euthanized within 48 hours. Stories like this are becoming extremely common in Canada. Other stories, like that of Kiano Vafaeian, show that being elderly is not a requirement for state sanctioned murder. He was euthanized at the age of 26.
Even if you aren’t looking to be euthanized, you will have a long wait to receive care. Canadian healthcare wait times have reached record highs, with a median of 28.6 to 30 weeks from general practitioner referral to treatment in 2024–2025, which is over 220% longer than in 1993. Over 3.7 million people are waiting for care, with emergency departments experiencing severe backlogs and some specialists reporting wait times exceeding 36 months. Reports indicate that over 23,000 people died while waiting for care in a single year. In fact in 2025, more than 105,000 people travelled outside of Canada to receive life-saving or life-altering care.
Mexico
In Peter Schweizer’s recent book, The Invisible Coup, he details how the Mexican drug cartels buy influence in U.S. politics through NGO’s, paid political activism, and campaign contributions. He alleges that Mexico uses its network of consulates, along with education programs and migrant outreach, to exert influence within U.S. borders, acting as a sovereign entity on American soil. The cartels fund politicians amenable to open borders because human and drug trafficking ranks among the most profitable industries for nefarious Mexican operatives (to the tune of billions of dollars). Given enough time, naturalized citizens and organizations representing Mexican interests will be able to significantly sway elections in states like New Mexico and Texas even more than they do now.
The recent strikes in Puerto Vallarta were a critical blow against the Jalisco cartel. Like the multi-headed Hydra of Greek mythos, another boss will inevitably take over. The U.S. must remain vigilant against the threat at its southern border, because unlike terrorist states like Jordan and Iran, Mexico is not an ocean away. We share a border with Mexico, notably the province of Tamaulipas, which is under a “Do Not Travel” advisory due to cartel terrorism. The U.S. State department recommends you hire armed security and get your will sorted before entering Tamaulipas, and it borders one of our most populace states.
United Kingdom
A recent story of a Scottish teenager wielding an axe and a hatchet to defend her young sister went super viral. This one incident gained massive traction due to the notoriety of massive gang rape groups that are springing up across the UK. In most cases, police and other government authorities are unwilling or unable to pursue justice for these heinous crimes. The most famous of these incidents involved the grooming and serial rape of thousands of English girls by men of mostly Pakistani Muslim background over several decades. Add to the mass rape and Islamic migration a fervent rash of censorship, and we quickly see our closest civilizational sibling falling destitute.
People in the UK are now frequently arrested for expressing opinions on social media or flying the Union Jack. The impending Banter Ban will eliminate the last vestiges of free expression within pubs and private spaces. The UK is currently in dire trouble, and a victim of inadequate leadership. Some good news for the Tommies comes from political activist and millionaire Rupert Lowe, who recently announced the formation of Restore Britain, a new conservative party he hopes will be a course correction. He vows to deport illegal migrants, ban sharia law, and cut overbearing regulations in order to return to a high trust society.
Australia
Australia’s troubles are similar to all the others on this list. As of February 2026, their economy is characterized by an increase in inflation that has forced a recent increase in interest rates. High cost of living, stagnant incomes, and elevated inflation combined with a large welfare system are causing total government spending to reach 38% of GDP. Along with economic troubles, social unrest has occurred due to mass migration, leading to a series of nationwide protests and heightened social tensions. Approximately 32.3% of the Australian population (8.6 million people) was born overseas as of 2024, the highest proportion since 1892. Recent polling shows that 71% of Australians support a temporary pause on new migration until infrastructure and housing supply can catch up with population growth.
France
A common refrain among friends and family who visit Paris for vacation or work is now “it’s not like it used to be”. Like London or Barcelona, but to an even higher degree, Paris now has an unsustainable population of migrants seeking asylum and shelter. Tent cities in Paris, primarily occupied by refugees and migrants, are a persistent issue, with encampments frequently appearing along the Seine, in northern districts, and near metro stations like Stalingrad. Despite regular police evictions and dismantling, these camps quickly reform, driven by a shortage of housing for asylum seekers. This compounds issues with their struggling welfare system, which is suffering a severe and worsening financial crisis. Violent crime like homicides and theft, as well as property crimes and burglaries are at 10 year highs. Without serious sweeping changes, France will continue to decline.
Germany
Similar to France, Germany’s aging population, stagnating economy, and mass migration are jeopardizing it’s future. To fund welfare, infrastructure, and defense, Germany plans to borrow €180 billion in 2026 - the second-highest level in its post-war history. Migration has also been the primary catalyst for significant social unrest and political polarization in Germany over the last decade, reaching a fever pitch in 2024 after deadly knife attacks and car-rammings. These incidents have culminated with a recent YouGov poll showing 81% of Germans believe illegal immigration over the last decade has been too high. Another 75% say illegal migration has been bad for Germany. Fortunately, their recent policy changes with regards to immigration enforcement and welfare funding are steps in the right direction.
America
Standing alone at the gates of freedom stands one country in stubborn defiance. The same rebellious spirit that threw tea in the Boston harbor needs to act decisively to prevent the outcomes we see across the globe. We certainly have our own problems, from healthcare costs to our own forms of government overreach. But there is no other nation on Earth that protects the right to free expression and self-preservation quite like the United States.
