Hope I’m not being a naive Canadian here (a country that Zelensky could take some lessons on how to maintain a tolerable degree of sovereignty living next an aggressive superpower), but I am surprised as to why Western Europe could never forge its own path in terms of foreign policy. There are three rather large countries such as France, Germany and Great Britain, and a combined economy which probably equals that of the US. So it is really puzzling to me why the leaders, with a few exceptions, are so supine when it comes to US dictates.

I'm disappointed to see only 17% in Great Britain (I presume Northern Ireland wasn't included as United Kingdom is not the name used) are in favour of more neutrality with regard to Washington. Our late government has been a mere bag-carrier for the US and a new one led by the Kid Starver threatens be at least as subservient.
