Well. I'd argue we should also keep our hearts open and warmly embrace the Canadians in particular.
IMHO you can replace 'Americans' here with *any* foreign nation. Europe needs to be truly independent, not just in defence but in every crucial sector (energy, food, tech, and no doubt others). We cannot achieve this if we assume the 'sensible' America is coming back, or swapping it for China.

I would really like to travel to Egypt. I went to Egypt before when I was younger and even dumber. But now that I am less younger and a little less dumber, and know what a horrific police and torture state the Egyptian regime is, I just don't want to support it's tourism industry.

Putin is the Hyacinth Bucket of great power leaders: it's all about keeping up appearances. Russia's a great power only to the extent that it can persuade others it is, because there's very little material basis for its pretensions to great power status. That's why Trump's deference is so important.

Even if the Americans return to being a reliable partner. I would argue that we must stand on our own feet in defence now anyway. Because we can not discount the possibility that the Americans do this again.
USA is more or less already dead to me. The only way they could really come back if they elect D supermajorites, and they prosecute pretty much all people involved in Trump admin for a wide variety of crimes, including extreme corruption, war crimes like this, and treason.

We're entering a really dangerous world if governments can just based on a vibe decide to murder the citizens of other countries.

This is what the Trump admin people should go to jail for once they are out of office.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Russia just lost its only working crewed launch site, so it can’t send cosmonauts into space for the first time since the early 1960s.

I imagine when a state is at war, fighting corruption isn't just a matter of law, but a matter of survival. Corrupt officials become a detriment to the war effort.

The right step and an indication that Ukraine’s anticorruption institutions have reached a level of maturity absent in many European democracies. This happened thanks to Ukr civil society and ordinary people who rallied in the middle of war this summer to protect the institutions’ independence.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 The European Parliament passed a resolution calling for the EU to join peace talks and for Russia’s frozen assets to be given to Kyiv
The document also includes a pledge that they will never recognize the occupied regions as part of the Russian Federation.

One of the most damaging things that morons like Chomsky have done was to take the history of communist tyranny, and proclaim:
"Actually, they were rightwing, because they did bad things. And we are the good guys, because we are leftwing."
Thoughts so deep, they could fill another mass grave.

I hope I am not speaking out of place here, but I would argue that the number one demand for any ceasefire with Russia should be that all the kidnapped children, all the people deported to Russia, and all the POWs are returned to Ukraine.
