Meenwhile Europe is sandwiched between these two aweful governments

[nylonstrung]

And I'm guessing China and US are to blame for the explosive growth in the far-right parties of almost every continental European country?

[finnjohnsen2]

And I’m guessing that was a rhetorical question

[bbg2401]

The implication being that Europe is not its own conglomeration of awful governments? Your European snobbery is odious to the core.

[finnjohnsen2]

This is true. They are problematic also. Especially Putin, which I believe we are partially responsible for also. The desire for better governments is not snobbery. Especially from the US and China, because they suck big time right now and they are the most influencial globally.

Does that make the UK the olive on top of the sandwich?

[finnjohnsen2]

I would argue the UK is just as it looks on the map, outside but too close to belong anywhere else. So back to the analogy, perhaps the butter…?

[AlecSchueler]

I think more like the crust that no one wants to eat right now.
