        Oh, they’re definitely the one place in the world that are a no brainer about their policy towards the events. 100% makes sense. It’s just that a suit like this is meaningless.

      Even if they lose the result won’t be enforced, but it has the potential to lose them a lot of face on the international stage.

        Being real? Nah. Neither the US or UK will have any consequences that matter, regardless of how the suit plays out. Absolutely nobody will care at all. I’m not trying to be a dick, but that’s just not how the world currently works. Even with the loss of influence the UK has dealt with post-brexit, it won’t change anything for them in any real terms. Maybe a few people will make some noise, but that’s it.

        And the US is still way too powerful to give two shits about “face” on that scale. The point is to maintain support of a very useful ally. Until and unless things go even crazier, so that the American population rises up in a major way, or other US allies apply weight to a change in policy, this suit is a waste of resources.
