    Obviously not.

    This is reaching “battered spouse” levels of delusion that the question is still being asked even.

      There is no delusion… or incompetence… or stupidity… or whatever other lie voters tell themselves to explain their politicians idiocy. It’s basically always corruption.

    There’s a serious amount of threats and hostile actions the US has taken against Europe. And it’s not just this administration.

    That’s not subjectieve.

    Take a look at the two world wars. European “allies” went to war. Their allies joined. USA refrained until either they were attacked or it looked like not getting involved would harm them. In other words, USA are allies when it suits them. This has always been the case.

    The current regime in the US is a corrupt group of traitors who don’t have allies. They only understand transactional relations, even in their own homes.

    The US is only on your side now due to money, power, and what you can do for the people at the top. It’s no longer about shared history, democratic ideology, or shared safety on the global stage. Act accordingly.

        Exactly. They’re made on behalf of the nations, not the leadership of today.

        Historically, that generally persisted with the USA since alliances are made by Congress, not the Executive. Since no laws bind the Executive Branch anymore (at the moment), you can’t trust anything about how the treaties will be acted upon.

    Sadly, no. Too many people that don’t understand politics and are tribal so keep digging their holes deeper but won’t stop, to remain on their team. They are selfish and call it independent, and a bunch of other fables they cling to for cheap, conditional identity. They’re that desperate for belonging they stay in the abusive and conditional group, or swing back and forth w/o real thought.

    Europe should not rely on the U.S. anymore and should focus on european alternatives
