    There are millions of Americans living and working abroad.

    Any invasion by America of a NATO member means all of a sudden we have a few million hostages.

      Why do you think this administration would care about Americans living abroad when they don’t care about Americans living in the USA?

      I think you mean a few million outspoken critics of the US. US citizens abroad are often well educated and critical of US domestic and international politics and policies.

      A more effective response would be to give them microphones and platforms upon which to express their views.

        It’s true. In half a decade here, I don’t think I’ve met a single Brit who finds America as revolting as I do. They do some creditable work, but the quality of their polemic is limited by a want of familiarity.
