    This is not unique to Trump. The US has a long, bipartisan history of turning on its “allies” when they’ve worn out their usefulness.

    Though sometimes they get the golden parachute, like Juan Guaidó.

      This meme is only supported by those with very odd takes on history. For example Qaddafi’s Libya was a significant part of the non-aligned movement. They literally weren’t allied with either power during the Cold War. Bin Laden wasn’t an ally and really couldn’t be as he had no direct connection to the USA.

      Hussein and Noriega were allies and they should be the guys in the background. The other guys don’t belong.
