Sure, if Europe decide to break up with America they would do at our peril. But if they put up with Trump’s bullying, they would also do at our peril. Sometimes choices are not perfect and you need to decide between two bad situations.

On the other hand, in the same way Europe would lose something by walking away, so would USA, that enjoy plenty of USA military bases on Europe. Sure, Europe would have to fend for themself if USA doesn’t help. But in that situation, why would Europe bother to allow USA to keep their bases there? In fact, why support USA on any the wars that USA start? More to the point, if there is no collaboration then, the logical conclusion would be to never send european troops to help USA, since Europe would need to save those for Europe defence…

And while Rusia and China aren’t trustworthy, they would probably focus on USA. Point is, there are many ways to be safe. Trump like war and weapons, Europe preffer diplomacy. Just saying.
