It was an important ally, Europe is currently investing billions in uncoupling its reliance on both Russia (for natural resources) and the US (for defence and natural resources) because neither party can be trusted anymore.

Russia, yes.

I do not see any real expectation of Europe not being reliant on the US. See the many discussion here about reliance on US cloud services. Where else are these natural resources to come from? Where is the technology or the money to scale up to what the US has?

1. Canada (2nd largest country in the world after Russia).

2. Internally.

USian hubris won't end well for the US.

Europe is offloading it's reliance on Russian LPG just to buy more from the US.
