You know that you don't have to do whatever Americans say, right? It will come with its own downsides, but it is a choice. Maybe it's the Dutch people who died for your freedom and independence who are rolling in their graves right now?

Preaching against the choir sir, I fully agree!

Normally I would understand our reluctance. But you know, old sentiment takes a long time to be overriden by new information.

The idea they have is "if we cooperate, we might not get hurt". But modern America will use you, empty you and then still turn their back on you.

So yes, I agree, better to cut ties now and start rebuilding without them. Now I just need to convince the people in power with all their investments in the USA.

I'll let you know how that goes ;)
