[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]In general western Europeans and the British are very disparaging of Americans though they don't usually do it in their presence.[/b] It is relentless and rarely do they have a good thing to say about them and this precedes Trump.[/quote] +1 I notice that when I travel there. But I wonder if they are disparaging with people in general. Their cultures and governments have evolved differently than the Americans. Their people used to be grouped into different social classes. [/quote] Yes, but since I'm married to a European, I hear all the things they say first hand. I used to adore Europe. Even got my masters in European studies. After hearing the unvarnished truth of what they think of our alliance and "friendship," I actually have a lot of sympathy for Trump's stance toward Europe. They use us, it's a one sided friendship, and maintaining costs money we could use on thing like universal health care. The only country with an understanding of reciprocity, and that's a worthy partner over there, is France (not Germany or the U.K.). [/quote]
