Also that's what we do since WW2. We are a close ally of the US, use US weapons, usually follow them in foreign policy. So not very surprising imo.

- radiator 3y agoThis sounds more like a vassal than an ally. You "usually follow them in foreign policy"? Does that imply that sometimes the US follows you?
- Scarblac 3y agoYou're not the first to have that criticism, still our political class seems to think it's best to follow them. I think we do have slightly more influence on the US than our size would merit.
