why should we be? Sever all ties… works fairly well with Russia
You do realize that rejecting both Russia and America would in fact make the EU more isolated than either Russia or America in this scenario?
The only reason there is enough stability for the EU to remain in solvency is because NATO basically covers its entire defense budget. Even with this shield against hard power the EU has still fallen prey to soft power attacks, being picked apart from the inside.
Imagine what would happen to the EU if the individual member states actually had to cover all their own military expenses, had to negotiate for fuel From neither Russia or the US. The austerity measures alone would break the EU apart.
No democratic institutions are fairing well. If there isn’t some effort to all work together, everything going to unravel at the seams.
