I don’t agree. I think these people are acting out of what they believe to be self interest, even if it is an unenlightened self interest.

As an American, I also urge Europe to reduce its reliance on the US, for security or anything else. You’re going to want to insulate yourselves as much as possible from my unbelievably stupid, and potentially very dangerous country.

Facts don’t mean much in the US today. Maybe they never did.
