This article is full of BS. I mean he at least arrives at an agreeable conclusion (see headline) and this is why this post will get upvoted a lot. But his narrative is full of strawman arguments, trying to find plausible “conservative” reasons for why the US is acting the way it does when the actual answer is much simpler.

The author argues at length that “Europhobia” is causing the rift between the US and EU. That’s BS. If there is any phobia from the US perspective it’s an Anybody-Who-Is-Not-Us-Phobia. US foreign policies stem from a sense of absolute superiority. They are not targeting the EU for being the EU. They are indiscriminately and aggressively trying to bully every other country into submission.

The whole article is an exercise in finding justifications for not calling it what it is. This is a typical Think Tank style spin.

And this gem right here:

If Brexit was the first blow against the EU from a new Europhobic movement in America […]

Talking about sense of superiority… The author actually thinks that the US was the prime force responsible for the Brexit? They definitively played their part in the Brexit but this is a bit much.

I could go on, but it’s not worth it. I just wanted to make you aware of how shitty this article is.

Bad website. All is see is a full page ad “SALE 40%”
