    Internal differences? USA not to mention NATO was not entirely a monolith even in their best times and now when entire thing is faltering there’s bound to be some stretched seams. Brits are especially easy to explain that they will try to push things because their country is crumbling right now and they grasp the “external threat” to divert people’s attention from how much their last few governments failed.

      Exactly. This happens every time, like clockwork. People mad at Clinton for raping an intern? Hey, look at what the evil Serbs are doing! Snowden’s revelations causing massive anger and potential unrest? Well, Evil Dictator Assad is using chlorine gas on his own people! US in economic freefall? Here, look at Ukraine…

      Long after the fact, people will freely admit they were played. But yet they keep falling for the same trick, time after time after time.
