You are vastly underestimating Marcon's drive to fill the US American shaped power vacuum that emerges with a French-German filler. Just like you are completely disregarding the possibility that Russia and Europe might end up on better terms out of sheer practicality. Because that whole narrative about the Russian boogeyman, barely kept at bay due to US presence, is one that's mostly based on fiction, and not actual real politics. Even Putin knows that a broke and war-torn Western Europe makes for bad customers for Russian gas, which is among the very few things still keeping the Russian economy alive.
