- arethuza 7y agoNot sure what's bizarre about it - the US sees the EU as a competitor economically and stands to gain even more power over the UK as a result of Brexit.
- sorokod 7y agoThat is true, but there used to be strategic considerations the allowed a balance to be maintained.
- vanderZwan 7y agoThis is probably true for Russia and China as well, but especially for the US with its internal political tensions I wonder if we aren't doing reality a disservice by treating it as one entity with a made-up mind.
- sorokod 7y agoThe internal argument is itrelevant as the state persues strategic policies and goals regardless.
- vanderZwan 7y agoYes, but what those policies and goals are change depending on who is in charge
- sorokod 7y agoAbsolutely - and nothing else matters.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoThe whole Brexit issue can only weaken the EU and, as a consequence, was always going to be positive for the other major players.
