  Always been one sided with the outgoing President having little interest in Europe as a whole let alone the UK. Only recently we paid them back for their action in World War 2 and when they need our special forces to do jobs their army can't we comply. They never back us when we need help e.g the Falklands. They like us Europeans to help them bomb everywhere so that we get the refugees and they mostly get the contracts to rebuild.

  Interventions in rogue states have always resulted in a power vacuum, leading to bloody civil war. Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Libya, Sierra Leone, and now Syria. When will politicians ever learn?
