True but it’s also firmly out of our European hands now. The uk left, and we only let them back in when they have learned some humility and are willing to rejoin on standard conditions. That is not happening yet.

Definitely - they had it all, but got greedy and pushed for even more, and since they made it adversarial you gotta protect yourself. It's like you are building this wonderful thing, but if they want to strike out on their own that is up to them. Nobody was forcing their hand there.
