“More importantly.. do we care?”
We had better. Britain is America’s closest and most reliable ally. The election could have serious effects on that relationship. If Labour forms a government in coalition with the SNP the price demanded by the Scottish nationalists is likely going to be British unilateral nuclear disarmament.
I think our problems here are far more important and the current administration has done a ton of damage to all of our allies. I’d rather have a well repescted and much feared leader here. Allies will rally around that kind of leader and if they don’t.. they will.
“We had better. Britain is Americas closest and most reliable ally.”
How? They contribute a small force to most military operations, yes. And they are an NSA asset. We spy on their people, they spy on ours domestically. Then we swap info,,, neat trick.
But tell me a time they ever put our interests ahead of their own? I can make a case that Australia, Japan, and a few others are more reliable allies.
The worst part of the UK is that it is now lead by moslems and people who saw Orwell as a blueprint. At best now,,, we should be suspiciously friendly.
