I think world events have a marked effect on local events. Both are intertwined and not easily separated, so to try and deny that US elections have a profound effect on events in other countries is simply not true. Perhaps the effects are not immediate, but if Regan had one thing figured out, it was the 'trickle down' effect.

Believe me, the citizens of the USA hold the fate of many far more than their own countrymen in their hands during this election.
