This 'reasoning' explains why the predominent sentiment in Europe is now: 'Bye bye USA'.

I think the party in the USA has ended. And I'm definitely not investing there again until there is some clarity about the next regime.

Do you mean the people? They don't matter, the EU is not a democracy that has to answer to its people.

Do you mean the leaders? They just signed a treaty to agree to 10x tariffs for their goods, 0% tariffs for the USA's good, and to buy a trillion dollar's worth of energy and arms. Doesn't sound like "bye bye USA".

Is it? I'm (somewhat shockingly) not really seeing any willingness to detach from US Big Tech or even consider thinking what's behind the curtain. The collective delusion is surreal (or should I say hyper-real).

Ok, good luck fighting Russia on your eastern flank and whatever spills over in the coming years from the middle east and northern Africa. And good luck funding your defense without making serious cuts to your entitlement programs. And good luck sorting out the internal tension in the EU in that context.

I haven't seen much evidence the current US administration is interested in defending Europe from Russian expansionism. Trump tried to give Putin everything he wanted in Ukraine.
