***..has ‘shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive’ towards its European allies. ****
This reminds me of a political cartoon from about 45 years ago.
America was having some political problems with France at the time.
The toon showed Charles de Gaulle standing in front of a field of crosses at a US cemetery in France. He says....”Why do you Americans always stay where you are not wanted!”
Would love to see that awesome (if sad in its truth) cartoon.
