It would be easy to say, "well, that's the UK, or that's the EU..so why consider what they do? Sadly, today's world is so interconnected, that such seemingly irrational
activities do affect all of us.
For instance, just yesterday the leaders of the UK, Canada and France decided to "recognize" the "Palestinian" occupation in Israel and a sovereign nation.
Of course, Pre Trump wasted no time in telling them where thy could stuff their sovereignty for 'Palestine' idea ! Ignoring their political aim, those three stooges cannot and do not, have the authority to set up such a state ..nor set up some kind of rag-tag government for it!
For the UK.. Should for instance, the US and Costa Rica declare norther Ireland or the Falklands each a "sovereign state" ?
For France.. Should the USA and Costa Rica declare Guadeloupe, Martinique or French Polynesia all "sovereign states" !
...And for Canada.. Should the USA suddenly declare Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia all "sovereign states"?
Asinine idea by the Euro-Canada "brain trust" !
