    The USA’s recently published National Security Strategy explicitly states that the USA will work to undermine European democracies to protect Europe from “civilizational erasure” (which means the same as “white genocide” or “the existence of non-whites and non-fascists”). Europe has the USA, Russia and China all working actively to undermine it, and the USA and Russia are both doing so by covertly funding and supporting fascists against everyone else, while both gearing up for military attacks on European nations. Meanwhile European leaders are queuing up to praise and appease Trump in the hopes that he’ll be nice to them. I don’t see how you can be so confident.

      I think my comment was misunderstood (I am sure my wording was poor). Will the US try to exert influence and attempt to derail the political process in Europe? Absolutely. Will the US physically attack Europe like it does in the Americas and other places across the globe? No way. Will the US defend Europe from attacks by Russia? Only if its assets are threatened.

      American colonialism is, at the moment and foreseeable future, focused on the Americas IMHO.

        France nukes Russian bases, Moscow and St. Peterberg simultaneously. The Russian threat is all retaliatory with 0% chance of success as an end game. Then concentrate 100% on dealing with EU defense and security. Suddenly, Greenland is off the table.
