Also that's what we do since WW2. We are a close ally of the US, use US weapons, usually follow them in foreign policy. So not very surprising imo.

This sounds more like a vassal than an ally. You "usually follow them in foreign policy"? Does that imply that sometimes the US follows you?

[Scarblac]

You're not the first to have that criticism, still our political class seems to think it's best to follow them.

I think we do have slightly more influence on the US than our size would merit.

Well there are various degrees of enthusiasm. Netherlands also claims to be a fighter for human rights, yet it immediately dropped UNRWA funding after unproven allegations about a handful of people (out of thousands) and thus letting civilians starve to death...

Human rights? Not true. (Oops did I say that out loud?).
