Normally that would be a fair point (and maybe it was valid in 2022).

But given the US approach to foreign policy in 2025, one could argue that the list of countries that “have a contentious relationship with the US” (or, maybe more accurately, the other way around) is a lot longer and less clear-cut today than it was a few years ago.

Absolutely, but if I mention that the US president is wildly erratic with his foreign policy, then the comment just gets knee-jerk downvoted.
