I find it hilarious they still call us allies.

The US is pushing Europe into complete destitution. it's the furthest from an ally imaginable, just by subtle economic warfare.

blowing up the norstrom, decoupling russia from gas, maintaining USD hegemony, selling natural gas for 5x the price, forcing EU to join them in war, forcing EU to sanction China...

remember the EUR was envisioned when the gold standard was dropped by USD because the Europeans knew the USD would become the defacto global standard which is bad for their economy.

EU is a beautiful concept. Unfortunately they are unable to make their own independent decision and will always be a gutless spineless laptop to American military industrial complex.

Only this time taking on Russia and China at same time is going to be a bigger bite than they can chew. EU is already getting closer to China and US doesnt like this one bit.

Colonization finally coming home to roost.

"blowing up the norstrom"

Russia did that. The US would never risk getting caught doing that but Putin doesn't give a fuck.

"forcing EU to join them in war"

Actually they are sensibly opposing Putin to prevent future threats. It would be insane to just let Putin do whatever he wants, it would just embolden him.

Historically the US hasn't been that big on Colonization.
