Iceland is not part of the EU and newer will. But in order for us to be able to stay outside it, we need to have some alternative to lean against. Some alternative to trade with, to have security partnership with and a political ally against the encroachment of the EU. And the US is the only alternative possible. So please rethink your stance and take our outright hand, others will follow if the alternative will provide itself.

The UN would quicly drown the small Iceland, but hell the leftist would take it open armed, and it would be a serious blow to us on the right side.

I hope that Iceland never joins the E.U.

Excuse my flippancy.
Speaking strictly for myself, I am very tired of people from other nations, especially western nations, looking to the USA to act as their ultimate protector on one hand, while they villify us on the other.
My jaded view as an old Cold War veteran plays a part.
My lifelong experience with Canada,Cuba and Mexico as my nearest neighbors also colors my somewhat jaundiced world view.
