Let's just go on ... so there was an acrimonious divorce from the EU ... on Jan. 6 a violent mob nearly murdered VP Pence and House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi ... the nr. 1 and 2 in line of succession to the presidency. Coincidence?

A really very special Roundtable last week with Sir Peter Westmacott @PeterWestmacott and @BBCJonSopel talking Diplomacy, US politics and the UK's role in the world. A celebration of Sir Peter's new book: They Call it Diplomacy. You can listen here: [_link] pic.twitter.com/tuip3kHa5A

In interview on CNN's Amanpour, it became clear former UK Ambassador wanted to return to life as before on defense, security and foreign policy. It became clear when I saw he was co-author of a report by the Atlantic Council.
