Yes, and I think most Europeans are very grateful for that.
But leave us a little bit of pride. Europeans don´t want to be the little brother for all times.

May be I´m leaving the topic a little bit
Beyond all similar values Americans and Europeans as a whole have some cultural differences.
For example the spying affair - call it naive but we don´t want to be spyed on by our American friends. If we say that, there comes a little bit of arrogance over the atlantic. The "don´t be childish, thats the way the world works" way. That makes a lot of Europeans wanting a strong Europe that is not for all times and in every way dependent on his big Brothers good will.

Amazing that people still believe that the EU is some sort of "uber state" or something that control whole countries... oh well the damage to the UK is done and they will have to live with the consequences. Ironically, the UK cant even fill its own "bureaucratic" ministry set up to leave the EU, because no one wants to work for it. As one bureaucrat said.. it is a career killer.

The UK is far from done. They didn't survive this long on just goodwill from others.
