10x yes! Not only that, their reliance on US cloud and their interferences in UA/RU war for the US interests.

Alright, Czech guy, are you gonna put your constituents' money where your mouth is and help build up Europe's defense force? Or are you not gonna change a thing because you know the US will continue to act as the world police?

I think you know which one you'll choose.

I'm supposed no one is actively adding the us into the EU

Europeans starting to realize that NATO is a protection racket is pretty funny.

Take your bets now everyone, we've got:

• "stupidly tries to deepen ties with the cyberpunk oligarchy of China",

• "stupidly try to deepen ties with the impotent Mafia state in Russia",

• "stupidly try to deepen ties with petro-dictatorships/monarchies in MENA",

• "immediately double back because they realized that reducing reliance on the US means having to actually uphold their NATO spending requirements at a minimum to replace the US subsidizing their national defenses",

and least likely of all,

• "actually do anything even remotely productive towards genuinely achieving strategic autonomy as a democratic superpower in the world independent of the US' trajectory."
