An important distinction is that US and EU interests aligned on many important areas up until recently. So it was less of a subservient relationship, and more of a mutually beneficial one. Now that the US wants to turn it into a subservient relationship, the EU is naturally looking for other options.

- username135 2y agoProbably, can you?
- leereeves 2y agoSure, if you're too lazy. 46% of women voted for Trump. That surely counts as "about 50%". https://apnews.com/article/election-harris-trump-women-latinos-black-voters-0f3fbda3362f3dcfe41aa6b858f22d12 https://apnews.com/article/election-harris-trump-women-latin...

- tored 2y agoNo, Europe is a de facto vassal state to US since WW2. What Europe didn’t understand or didn’t want to understand was the US agenda differs from Europe agenda , always has. But now they start to wake up facing this reality.
- fransje26 2y ago> What Europe didn’t understand or didn’t want to understand was the US agenda differs from Europe agenda , always has. France would disagree with the "didn't understand" part. They have been continuously ridiculed for holding that view, until very, very recently.
- tored 2y agoAgree, France is somewhat of an exception. I remember during the Chirac presidency how viciously France was attacked by the other European countries, especially my own Sweden, for doing nuclear weapons testing in the South Pacific. Jump forward today and France is seen as a protector of Europe, especially in Sweden, because of its nuclear arsenal.
- fransje26 2y ago> doing nuclear weapons testing in the South Pacific. That was not the most glorious moment of Chirac's presidency, no.. However, as someone involved in numerical simulations, the argument that it was needed to calibrate their numerical models does hold (some..) water.. But Chirac did partly redeem himself by refusing to invade Iraq on bogus US claims of WMDs..
