Let us not pretend here, America treats Europe differently and with in Europe, UK differently. There are cultural and institutional bonds -- of course layers of Geopolitical and strategic interests. But the boys, who are dreaming Americans picking their marbles and going home should really be careful what they wish for, because it might actually come true.

I don't see how that could happen after the US pushed for globalism, globalism inherently requires keeping trade routes protected from interference, the moment the US pulls out from providing protection is the moment where these routes start to erode.

You just need to be aware that the life you are used to (if you live in the USA) will be vastly different after this.
