The thing I find so perplexing about their attitude to Europe is that it’s as if none of them has ever studied their own history of the last century. While European states could, and should, have been doing more, the basic imbalance is by design. America has all the guns, which means Europe can’t start any more world wars.

For all their fulminating about European, and particularly UK, posturing on Ukraine, their foreign policy stance on European security is forcing Europe to act alone, and simultaneously weakening America’s ability to do anything about it. It is so unbelievably dim-witted it is hard to comprehend where these people have even come from.

I’ve seen one or two Xitter wits proposing a new interpretive framework called ‘Trumps Razor’, in which the stupidest possible explanation is probably the right one.
