Because Europe _needs_ an ally with means to stand up to bullies.

Because trusting Russia and the USA was such a good idea, why not repeat for a third time

I think the USA has way overplayed our hand here, and is seriously pushing Europe into BRICS, which will displease neither Russia nor China. USA got played, this is realpolitik.

It is hardly a surprise that this is happening. Is it really possible for the EU to exist in this political climate without any major foreign ally?
