Well we Europeans are not interested in missle shields to be honest. There is no political will to new or renewed US deployments. Since any Iranian or north Korean bomb can be brought anywhere with a simple pickup their missles are not our real problem. Personally I do not care about Russian fags either. The real issue would be a free trade deal between the continents. But it will not come since we have different production standarts and norms. I can not imagine to have our Greens eating genetically modified soya beans from the US.
Therefore I believe in a slow but steady estrangement on both sides of the big pond. The spy affair and Obummers handling of it made it quite clear to central Europeans that we will never belong to the “spechial relationship” of the anglophone club. Since we are still a economic core area of this world it is quite likely that we will find other friends in the long run. Anyway we have to see what the future brings.

The EU cannot be part of the referred-to “special relationship” not due to race (it wasn’t me that said “Anglo-Saxon”), but because of ideology. The EU is socialist and imperialist at its core, seeking to destroy the identities of its member state nations. Furthermore, its claim to be a promoter of peace belies its actions, supporting the war in the Balkans when it suited their purpose and being quite content to allow relations between it and the US to be undermined.
Any estrangement between the US and “Europe” is going to lead to another war. Nothing good comes of that.
