What surprised me the most is the apparent willingness of my representatives to share information and cooperate with the reprensentatives of the United States in a way that seems to undermine the sovereignity of their own country.
To me as a citizen the US is essentialy a foreign power and I would like it to have no say in the internal affairs of the country I live in without having obvious benefits for me. This doesn't appear to be the case and it isn't because US diplomats apply pressure to get concessions but rather because politicians yield even without pressure.
