CM, the reason that we and Europe are interested in American politics is because it the most powerful country in the Free World. We need them as friends , as we needed them in WW2. We couldn’t have won WW2 without them. I know it’s been very unpopular to support them for many years, especially from the political left wing thinking but true. At the moment they supply most of the cash for NATO, but that might change with Trump , as last time he was not happy how much Europe were paying towards NATO defence.
