“As long as the actual leadership remains pragmatic were in good shape.”
However, if the Clintons get back into the WH, it will embolden Brown/Malloch Brown. Gordon Brown came up with an alternative Kyoto (same purpose, of course - to screw America), based on Soros economics. Malloch-Brown is a weapon added to the arsenal.
“Gordon Malloch-Brown is in Soross right-hand pocket.”
Of course he is. See my post #21.
‘We are one of the only countries that can go it alone to defend our intrests. Let them backbite us all day. One day soon when the UK has lost its sovereignty to the EU and russia,china,and the muslims are threating their interests(the EU is powerless and weak). They will then realize their mistake(well probably not) on who is their real ally and brother.’
Realising that won’t do us any good if all Americans are isolationists like you Markus who don’t believe in allies. Half the time people on here post that ‘europe’ should stand on it’s own feet and not rely on the US and then as soon as someone suggests that’s what we’ll do, we’re told we’ll regret it and that we’re being anti-American. Make your minds up and get back to us with the decision! :)
Join the EU. The US will defend our interests. Enjoy your brussels Franco/German leadership. :)
Britain and America were thick as thieves during the Cold War, while other nations, like France, were a constant thorn in the side of the U.S., while at the same time benefiting from U.S. protection. It’s this kind of duplicity that infuriates Americans.
Moreover, it seems as though any time anyone in Europe discusses being more self-reliant, the concept is immediately conceived as requiring EU opposition to the U.S. This is as foolish as it is insulting. One would think it would be possible for Europe to be both self-reliant and U.S. friendly.
Britain has long been the exception, but I fear it will be subsumed by Europe. What a shame.
Mark, those folks, delightful and intelligent cocktail-party company though they may be to you, are not necessarily the same thing as "mainstream America". The average American probably has no idea whom you are, would not even recognize the name. And a good number of those who do undoubtedly think of you as "oh, that a**hole."
