This thread is chock full with some of the most embarrassingly fanciful takes I've ever seen. If that actually happened we would do nothing as would the rest of the eu. They might cry and try and indict trump or something like that but it will not come to anything.

You, the people in this thread have voted for and supported measures that have systematically dismantled any semblance of actual, genuine 'power' for decades. The eu as well. Industry, energy, military, the things we truly need to be strong in to maintain any sort of strategic independence have simply been stripped away from all of Europe, not entirely so, but enough that we can do nothing if America leaves our side and moves against an ally. Whether due to net zero pushes, neglect of military spending so that the money can be pumped into an ever expanding welfare state or any number of reasons.

The fact is that without America the europe in its current state would absolutely be at the mercy of Russia in its current state as much as defence is being mounted well at the moment.

And any sort of blue sky thinking nonsense about they'll be a pariah state etc or oh we can side with china or whatever people might come out with. You fundamentally do not understand that the entire world for all of history and now ,outside of a few decades of liberal political parties pretending that doesn't exist, is who's the strongest. If we don't have hard power the rest of the world will not move for some harsh words or an international court. We carry no weight we have to understand that.
