      Trump winning by a landslide and European libs now waking up and realizing that, maybe, outsourcing your military security and economy to the US is not exactly the wisest of things

        Europe’s entire economy hinges on American hegemony. EU is literally unable to decouple from the US without completely restructuring its entire economy and political structure.

          To be fair, Europe was starting to get integrated with the east economically. Germany had cheap energy from Russia, and China was a huge market. If things kept going the way they were, eventually the US grip on Europe would loosen as a result. Hence why we had to have a war in Ukraine.

        The Europeans made some charade of distancing themselves from the US during Trump’s first term, but then Biden got elected and everyone just forgot why they were ever critical of vassalization to the US in the first place.

        The European libs are barely even cognisant of the concepts of dollar hegemony or uni/multi polarity. For them, politics is a struggle between good and evil.
