From the EU perspective, I can see why it pays to say the US is an unreliable or unnecessary partner. It may or may not be true, but cui bono: EU gets to reindustrialize and invest domestically. Seems like a great idea for EU and US both.
- Angostura 10mo agoWhat makes you think the U.S continues to be a reliable partner for anyone anywhere?
- wozer 10mo agoThe US doesn't have any partners anymore, except for some small countries like Hungary and Israel.

- JumpCrisscross 10mo ago> This was starting to change even during Trump 1 What is your source? We’re entering a multipolar world. That means more border wars, not less. Everything I’ve seen indicates more demand for American military and intelligence sharing, not less, despite the paradox therein.
- disgruntledphd2 10mo agoJust general EU political news, I remember the UK not sharing some intelligence in Trump 1. I presume that a lot more of that happens behind the scenes. I totally take your point around border wars, but I would expect to see substantial efforts to reduce the need for US intelligence, given the caprice shown by the current administration.
