Backwoodsman:
Meanwhile, back to the topic of the thread. Here’s Jack Dart’s Substack analysis of the position the the post-Brexit UK now finds itself in regarding Trump’s threats and bullying over his intention to ‘acquire’, by fair means or foul, the island of Greenland. Very astute, I believe he has his finger right on the pulse…

I totally disagree with the quoted position. Although you say he has his 'finger on the pulse' you do not (necessarily) claim to agree with him.

The UK as a power outside the 'EU' can espouse a viewpoint which either matches that of the EU, or takes a different path.
I believe that the USA (or Trump) will see them as two totally separate views, and will give them each their own relative 'weight' when considering how his plans are going down 'across the 'big pond'.

The idea that UK is a non-entity if it is outside the EU is, I believe, false.
