Hello Steven, I am delighted you say that Trump's failings as a man and a leader are there for all to see. That is quite a statement coming from you. I do not think that people are arguing that Britain no longer needs (or wants?) an alliance with America.  That is incorrect or the interpretation of your choice.  The problem is Trump who happens to be the president of the US.  Someone who tried to portray himself a Jesus Christ, sorry, doctor.  Or tried to portray that Jesus came to hug him. Something is certainly not right there. I have said before, very openly, I dislike Trump as a man enormously.  That does not mean I dislike Americans - those are two entirely different things. Also, what is wrong with aligning with Europe as well?  Are they not also members of NATO?  Yes, we (I am including the UK) have not made sufficient contributions to NATO.  Agreed.  But please remember, America pays 3.4% of its GDP, the main difference is the size of their GDP compared to the UK and mainland Europe.  May I remind you that NATO is a defensive alliance built mainly to protect it from Russian attacks....  Of course, I have not mentioned the Trump thinks Putin is a good guy..... I have no doubt that Iran's nuclear threat is real and an incredible possibility.  Why destroy the Iranian Nuclear Deal signed by the UN Security Council + just because it was an Obama deal?  It was working perfectly well...  It does not make any sense whatsoever other the hate towards Obama.  That the Iranian regime is despicable beyond imagination, nobody denies.  How to deal with them you have asked many times (and not provided a response to your question).  I think a psychologist and or psiquiatrist is required here - I am not one.  Neither am I military-trained.  But, from a lay person's point of view, you do not go and bomb a country to destroy the leadership to find that you have not and the leadership that remains is more fanatical than the first. Then say that Iran must hand over the uranium it has to the US.  And Iran also has a very interesting amount of oil which interests Trump no end. The US has a proven history of brining down dictatorships in South America without bombing countries.  Could that not be used as a basis?  Just asking! I look forward to your response.  Thank you.
