Britain and the US will always influence each other unduly. You created Rock music; we improved it with the Beatles etc. You created comic books we developed them with the likes of Morrison, Ellis, Moore, Gaiman, Millar etc. You created Hip Hop; we improved it with Grime. We gave you a lot of your language and culture and... I sort of jest here, but whether Star likes it, we intertwined. Are we allies? Usually, do we share the same values? Generally.
Are Russia and China your traditional allies? Mexico is a neighbour. Do you think Putin had forgotten and forgiven the US, despite the 20 Billion in his bank account he was head of the KGB when the Soviet Union collapsed? It was on his watch.
Your secret services certainly don't see Russia as an ally in the way they see the UK, even if you President does allow his son to forget talking to Russians etc.

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.

So how long do we keep this cold war going, though?
It ended almost 30 years ago.
Economically, Mexico is harming the US far more than Russia.
China is harming the US more than the rest of the world combined.
Yet, we still focus media on big scary Russia.
If Democrats really cared about US Sovereignty, they wouldn't tolerate foreign interests and interference in any of our elections even from our allies. But you don't see the news covering the tens of millions the UK spent on our US election, do you? Why is that?
Why don't you read about UK Collusion unless it's from conspiracy theory nutjobs?
Indeed DDM why don't you unless it's from conspiracy nutjobs. Will reply tomorrow mate properly, always a pleasure, I enjoy our polite and pleasant discussions. Have a good night!

China and India are destined to inherit the world. It's becoming inevitable. The UK for all its internal faults wants the America of Old and the Britain of old; it has your best interests at heart... As it has its own. Unfortunately, the ship may have sailed for freedom and democracy with the resurgence of popularist leaders in it for themselves. They are everywhere, not just Russia, Turkey and Egypt. You have one; we may get one; they result in enormous problems for freedom. And yeah, I kissed and hugged the wife muchly.
It's not that I disagree with any of that. But allowing any other country to directly interfere and influence our elections should be considered a threat and a negative.
The US needs better anti-corruption laws and multiple provisions in the Anti-Corruption Act would force political activists to not be able to hide their activities. This kind of thing would be a non-issue if the ACA was passed. Which is what the "Represent Us" movement is about.
I don't disagree, Brexit in the UK tapped into a misplaced pride and a hatred of change. I know many people who were Brexiteers, and I wouldn't want to be any of them. Those people didn't need much manipulation to have a set of views they had repressed for 20 years built around ideas that no longer fit the global society nations function in but fit well the leafy predominantly white Suburbs of Britain they live in. They just needed to be told it was O.K. to spout rhetoric outmoded in the '80s when I was a teen. The influencers did that and are still doing that. They are saying things are O.K. that clearly aren't. This is the legacy of the continuing interference and yes. No one should be interfering, but reporting a story with the BBC is undoubtedly different from offering the dirt on an opponent, isn't it?

It's not that Brexiteers might have principled reasons for opposing you, no they're just racist idiots who are irrationally afraid of change.

They can't have principles cuz they are far right.
How am I defining "far right"? Just like they do: anyone who disagrees with even a snippet of progressive policy. Purify yourself, lest ye be cast down.
