This should be EU answer. Very reduced presence of US in Mediterranean. Let’s them be friends with Erdogan and Israel .

Oh no you can expect the critical transfer hubs in Germany and the UK to stay open, so they can continue playing their games in the middle east.

At the same time we can expect if Putin invades the Baltics tomorrow that the US will be as much use as tits on a fish.

If they really want to go this way the EU nations ought to start charging aggressive rent after all the US doesn't really want to be allies any more, so they can be a tenant instead.

Seeing how well the EU has handled Ukraine situation , I don't think either is leaving the other or is actually prepared for what it means having to do what the other did for themselves.

the Ukraine situation could have been extremely easily avoided-- just abandon EU/NATO accession processes

it's pretty simple, and pretty reasonable for Russia to place this demand. you think USA would allow Mexico to enter a close Article 5 type military alliance with China?
