Perhaps I should have been clearer. I meant the EU, not Europe the people/culture collective. And I certainly wasn’t referencing to a collapse or something, I hope it never comes to that. I don’t think there is a lot of clarity on where EU is headed and yes losing US support may well be catastrophic. It’s a hypothetical for sure but Europe increasingly faces threats to its industry (from China primarily, and some U.S. policies) and also military threats from Russia. It’s unlikely Europe can navigate this without US support and moderations between European countries as the article states.
