Europe is both financially bankrupt and incompetent, with poor governance continuously hindered by the ambition of each country within the “union”. It will take decades at best for the EU to be competitive, assuming it won’t disintegrate before which is also a very real outcome.
So, as a European, what would you want to see happen? Do whatever we can to appease Trump, living as a subject, all because resistance is futile?
Don't overestimate the US military industrial complex. Their biggest skill is lobbying, and selling massively expensive 'super weapons' that are too expensive to use.
And I say this as an European.
