Hope Keir doesn't turn into a bitch if Trump wins and stands up for Europe. Fine we'll lead, without America and America can go do whatever it wants, without us. Last time America tried to be isolated it worked out brilliantly for them /s.
I do agree though, Europe needs to be independent from America, they're dumb as fuck though and won't like the results of that, Europe is so dependent on America partly because America wanted us to be because it was smart from a political standpoint. What the American foreign policy is tends to be what Europe's foreign policy is as well, it gives America a lot of influence over Europe and it's because we rely so heavily on America (militarily).
The results of a more independent Europe will be a Europe way less inclined to follow America when it comes to foreign policy, a more isolated America who now has less strength to project their force and influence across the world, a Europe which doesn't give a shit about what America says, wants or does anymore, Republicans severely underestimate the influence they have by being Europe's "protector"
Not only will it hurt America politically, it will hurt them economically, that massive MIC going to have far less people to sell to when you force Europe to massively invest in their own defence industries and are no longer spending billions buying American equipment and instead building more locally and sharing more between each other.
I'm not against all this, sounds like a good thing for Europe but it's a bad thing for America which MAGA doesn't realise.
