Look no further than Ukraine. Was Europe as eager to sabotage itself when the US invaded two fucking countries based on idiotic lies? No, almost everyone had to help the invasions in one way or another. We actively helped the bad guys.

This time we're tripping over ourselves to to make life harder for the Russians no matter the cost, seemingly lacking any self awareness.

Europe desperately needs its own army.

When it comes to Ukraine I think EU and US interests mostly align for one and it highlights the lack of actual coherence. (We could have had group buys for gas long ago rather than letting Russia do price diplomacy) I agree tho. Beyond that we've been pretty much a lapdog.
