From the EU perspective, I can see why it pays to say the US is an unreliable or unnecessary partner. It may or may not be true, but cui bono: EU gets to reindustrialize and invest domestically. Seems like a great idea for EU and US both.

What makes you think the U.S continues to be a reliable partner for anyone anywhere?

>>jvande+(OP)
The US doesn't have any partners anymore, except for some small countries like Hungary and Israel.

I think you'd be surprised how much intel sharing and cooperation happens behind the political curtains.

This was starting to change even during Trump 1. It's unlikely to last throughout this current term.

What is your source?

We’re entering a multipolar world. That means more border wars, not less. Everything I’ve seen indicates more demand for American military and intelligence sharing, not less, despite the paradox therein.

A number of European countries have PUBLICLY come out to say they are suspending cooperation on a number of different fronts. You can only imagine what it’s like in private.

Just general EU political news, I remember the UK not sharing some intelligence in Trump 1. I presume that a lot more of that happens behind the scenes.

I totally take your point around border wars, but I would expect to see substantial efforts to reduce the need for US intelligence, given the caprice shown by the current administration.
