Honestly, I'm kind of hoping Biden keeps pulling moves like that.
My biggest worry with a Biden presidency was that he'd undo Trump's effect on US image. There's increased awareness in EU countries now that the US cannot be relied on, and that any relationship with them will always be one of vassalage (see also the proposed US-UK deal after brexit).
There's still a serious chance Biden might be a return to business as usual, with EU countries courting the US favor instead of trying to be a rival superpower.
So I do hope he keeps pulling out these blatant "fuck you"s to allied countries. Now is way past time to rip the band-aid off.

- PoignardAzur 5y agoI mean, ideally, I'd hope Biden would get back into the JCPOA, pay Iran reparations for the damage they inflicted to their economy by going back on their own deal, pardon Julian Assange, close Guantanamo Bay and all US black sites, cease drone strikes on foreign soil, scale back US surveillance on allied countries, and repeal FATCA. But realistically, none of this is going to happen. So realistically, I'm hoping Biden screws up enough that European countries wean themselves off of their dependence on the US.
