Europe has long seen the US as a mixed bag... look at the Iraq War... they sacrificed a lot, and still are, and what did it get them? Nothing.

It has gone along with the US re: Israel for years, despite it's population being largely anti-Israel.

This was ALWAYS going to happen, in some ways, because the US makes a lot of dodgy decisions and has done for decades.

Trump kickstarted a process many here thought was inevitable, but would take years... instead, it's been very quick and very dramatic.
