>> My question is, why?
Yup, the unanswered question.
So, I wonder how many Europeans are hoping for another weak-kneed US President.
I admit, I am mystified by it. There may be a number of reasons. White guilt over colonialism might be part of it, but the Mus limes will eventually turn on their enablers too. I wonder if a lot of Europeans hope they live long enough to see that too? People like Merkel are not all that popular right now.
