True, but the only way for this to happen is for Europe to work together economically against the US, and to my mind China is the only viable option to replace the US as a economic partner. Of course this is a scary proposition for most Europeans, as the US works more or less openly with the threat of Russian invasion while simultaneously working to empower the local far-right policians in Europe, which will result in either them succeeding and Europe gleefully goose-stepping its way into an open war for the Nazis again, or them not-succeeding and possibly causing Europe to rip itself apart in political strife, which in turn could open the way for Russian subjugation. So basic fascist tactics, forcing a problem to appear and presenting itself as the only solution. In both these cases capitalist imperialism seems to be the victor.

This might actually be my personal blindness, as I've lived all my life in a country whose entire raison d’être is being anti-Russia and all my life I've been taught nothing else; like "evil imperial Russia took us from the loving embrace of our former slave masters, and subjugated us for a 100+ years, until we broke the chains of their imperialism to adhere to another kind of imperialism. Also communism is bad, remember 1939-45?" type of shit. So I'm kinda hesitant to trust Russia in order to fight America. Or at least I would be sure to be ready to fight Russians off as well later.
