I think the European leaders see where the country has been for the past 16 years, with no 'normalcy' in site. IMO, it is a good thing that they prevent an imminent possibility of continental/World war. The chance of US being a viable partner is not good.

This is NOT the chaos leading to good that the Trump worshippers envision, quite the contrary.
