Oh no. Now that the abusive step-dad is beating his kids in public, the social services are taking the kids away, driving a wedge between the family. Is this really a reason to celebrate?
The US has always used Europe after WW2 as an extension for its own interests. The alliance was never as mutual as shown to the outside. It is urgent time that the EU and other European countries emancipate themselves from the US and band together to hold against Russia and other global players. This should have been the top priority, when Trump first came to office, but lazyness and naivity prevailed, so that much of the last 8 years went to waste.
The Trump administration does not understand softness. The US has threatened to invade territories under control of an EU country and they have passed sanctions against international courts, that are located in the EU and have been one of the core projects of a rules based international order. An order that the US always defied, mocked and attacked.
Either the EU and other European countries get a grip and emancipate themselves, or they will continue to get beaten up by the abusive power drunk step-dad that is the USA.
