Now it is obsolete, to say the least. In Europe, currently, we are focussing on defending ourself from the collusion of the country that you are mentioning (USA, as by Americans, you probably mean = inhabitants of the USA, not inhabitants of the American continent, right?) with an aggressing regional power that attacked Ukraine in 2022. Our main concern is therefore defence, not how to make happy countries that contribute to increasing threats in our regions. As our former HRVP Borrell Fontelle said a few days ago, we can hardly consider them allies at present. Don't you have an editor?
