Absolutely not. History has shown again and again that human memory is short and greed is unbounded. If there isn't an active fire burning under people's asses they'll choose the $0.01 cheaper option even if it ends up being much worse for them in the long run.

That, plus massive influence campaigns from Russia, China, and US oligarchs like Musk and Thiel, are how we came to be living through the current general disaster.

There's no memory to be needed. The US is officially an unreliable ally. They have been for several decades now. They will continue to be so. EU politicians might've been overly ambitious but they're not naive.
