    Good, if the middle power democracies don't align/work together they are going to get torn apart in the struggle between the US and China.

      Errrrr...... this has nothing to do with the struggle between USA and China.

      It is 100% about Trump.

        This has been brewing since George W Bush. Obama made a valiant attempt at normalising relations with Europe but I don't think any future US president has any hope of reversing this now.

            Nah, Europe was a happy participant in Iraq 1. The trend from that to Iraq 2 to whatever the hell they're doing in Iran now is really clear.
