We need to end all reliance on US arms. They come at a high cost to our independence and security. The US earns vast sums from them and then uses them to influence our defence and international policy choices. No more. We need to relieve ourself of the dubious interference of the likes of Trump.

"We always think about America’s postwar role in Europe as an act of great generosity, the defense of allies from Soviet aggression. But by putting democracy at the center of our international identity, we also helped strengthen our own political system"
