@drnayar ji,

I am not sure that "the vast majority of Americans do not support it". Do these two congress critters have any survey results, or did they pull those non-quantitative numbers out of thin air?

The US correctly or wrongly or unilaterally called Western Hemisphere as their domain and no Eastner White/Black/Brown or any other combination is not welcome!!
What is that has spooked the US to call for this??

So what has turned US insular and inwards so to speak??
the "petro dollar" and the impossibility of sustaining the american debt mountain
Their imagination only goes as far. So after Cold War back to colonialism 2.0… so now after fiat currency era back to Donroe doctrine as we price currency back in gold. Hollywood might even go back to roaring 20s movies …

My question is how come EU is naive about American debt pressure and how come they don’t expect such behaviour?? Same with Cheen, they only seem to do kadi ninda and sell some treasuries. May be they know now is just negotiation before Yanks are cornered

Look at how Americans influenced EU politics., there is apart from a few , no one really worth the salt as head of nations. But remember , its not just politicians., its the bureaucracy that actually runs EU., the less said the better !.. they are just too compromised to do anything worthwhile ., the group will eventually fall on its own weight. It is said famously by the Germans no less., when it comes to technology, they are caught between the devil and the deep sea, ie, the NSA/American or the Chinese.

CIA has dirt on almost all european politicians to make sure they don't stray too far.
