Hear, hear.

But don't fall into the trap of thinking that all Europeans are in love with their system and essentially anti-American when it comes to the US acting with strength in the world. The leadership may feel that way, and the press makes it look like ALL Europeans fell that way, but there is a significant portion that does not.

My Swedish father-in-law has teased me during his last few visits to the states (including a couple during the last two years of Bush 43's presidency) that Sweden's government is now more conservative than ours! People in Europe wh think like you have no voice in their government an no voice to the world, but they are there in higher numbers than you would suspect.
