FWIW

It's worth reiterating that our American values and perspectives and choices increasingly diverge from those of Europe.

We no longer have a shared worldview with Eurabia.

"We no longer have a shared worldview with Eurabia."

Indeed, after encouraging the expansion of NATO after the end of the Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union, NATO, much less the UN, couldn't do jack sh*t in the Balkans during the disintergration of Yugoslavia during the 90's without American leadership.

Now, we're just a "hyperpower", capitalist, imperialist bully willing to kill for oil.

A great number of them chose the politics of socialism despite our efforts to help defend them against the Union of Soviet Socialst Republics.

Without a commonly perceived threat, and with sufficiently different cultures, we're bound to drift apart. Amen
