I actually don’t think Europe is going to this time.
If Trump really wanted it, he’d just have to say “give us Greenland or no more US energy for you”. Europe would be dead in the water.
We are experiencing a very cold winter right, gas storage is as low as it ever was. No more Russian gas, it’s the US or bust. And the funniest thing is, this was entirely self-imposed - they got rid of evil Putler gas while saying, “we don’t want to be extorted by RuZZia in the future”, even though Russia, of course, never did that. Trump the bully just needs to “use energy as a weapon” and it’s over, lol.
That’s true of Germany, but if Denmark triggers the mutual defence clause and France (which can probably manage on nuclear and other gas sources like China, Canada, Australia etc) agrees, then the other countries will be dragged in or the EU will shatter. I suspect if the EU doesn’t cave they’ll need to pivot towards China and renewables supply as well as manage an end to the Ukraine conflict.
