American here, I am glad that the EU is acting without us. My perception, right or wrong, is that America is often “damned if we do” and “damned if we don’t.” The world looks to us for leadership and works together with American leadership rather than alone. America should act more on climate change, but in our absence, I’m glad the EU is starting the job.

As a veteran, I’m pretty tired of the US constantly being shat on, then people complain when we don’t give out free hand outs to small, corrupt, poor nations. Because that worked super well in Somalia. We receive so much hate constantly. “Spotlight is on the US to help” nah fam. Fix your own backyard. We’re doing a bad enough job fixing ourselves to give a shit about people who can’t stand us anyways
