> US policymakers repeatedly warning Europe That's very patronising. All these "warnings" were distant echoes of internal debates Europe has been having for decades. They're nothing that Europe didn't know about already. It's like saying "European policy makers have been warning USA about the dangers of repelling the right to abortion". Playing the role of Captain Obvious isn't helpful. Additionally, Europe isn't Europe. Europe is a collection of sovereign states. Eastern Europe has been warning some western European countries about the dangers of relying on Russia for decades (no, USA's expert advice was not required to reach this conclusion).
