> The US no longer wanting to fund someone else's war is about as far from 'forcing' as you can get It _was_ also their war, because it's Europe that's attacked through Ukraine, and... Europe (and Ukraine, actually) used to be allies. Well, here we are: the USA is _not_ anymore an ally to Europe, and is objectively becoming, as a state, an adversary, so here is the most likely survival plan available to Europe now: 1/ find new partners (Canada/Australia of course; as for the big one, will be India and/or China); 2/ increase its own defence and technologies to be more independent from US ones (will hurt, for sure); 3/ close its market to USA (will hurt heavily on both sides); 4/ not even talking about the cultural reframing that will happen. It's not a matter of "if the USA doesn't fix its course within 4 years", it's happening now. And no one wins at this. Certainly not the USA. Trump will be gone and forgotten in a few years. USA will take, at the very best, 40/50 years to fix the damaged trust towards Europe, but also towards any future partner: how do you expect to sincerely partner with a country that behaves so erratically every 4 years, and now even ambushes guest state representatives in front of the media?
