Germany and Europe should just get over themselves. It's not like their track record is any better, right, Frau Merkel - who needs to step down now after a failed immigration policy? Take note.

Careful what you wish for EU'ers.

These new Dems could give a crap about you and the billions the US spends to defend you. They are also just as protectionist on trade, if not more so, than Trump. They also don't care all that much about being an "Atlanticist".

The EU's problem isn't a Dem vs Rep because the GOP is broadly with you. The Dems are increasingly apathetic about Atlantic solidarity.

It does not mean that they are safe or cannot be removed. It will take longer. They too will be voted out,

The EU structure is rotten and it is ruled by arrogant incompetent people.
