I don't know if I'm just paying less attention to discourse or if this is an actual thing. Just a thought.

    America serves a critical role in your country by letting your ruling class blame their own crimes on us. Everyone gets to say, "America bad!" and it is important for national unity to distract the people. In Europe shared anti-Americanism is about the only thing still holding the EU together.

      Is it really just Anti-Americanism holding the EU together? I could have sworn there was a decent amount of racism towards Turkey in the mix.
