I think it’s likely that the US will force Europe to choose sides in a war. They’ve already tried and largely failed with Iran so far. That’s the pulling of the plug I was referring to, being forced to do so by the US, not that zero trade is actually the goal, just that the EU must work to blunt the impact of eventually defying US hegemony.

I also think Biden’s tenure was the final straw that proved to EU leaders that the US won’t be an ally for much longer, regardless who is in charge. He changed close to nothing about Trump’s foreign policy, in Afghanistan, Iran, the Mexican border, the pentagon’s ballooning budget, Cuba. There is not a future, in my mind, where the US is not involved in an ever-intensifying global conflict that will eventually force Europe’s involvement, regardless which idiot the corpos choose to lead.
