I dont know about that; you are very optimistic. Europeans for instance have proven that when it comes to Trump, the only thing they'll do is make vocal opposition...and follow trump's orders anyway, even if he sanctions them. THe debacle of the CAI proves that europeans or rather the EU as a whole follows white supremacy as a guiding principle over realpolitik and national and continental self interest. So long as the US couches itself as the lynchpin of white privilige and western supremacy, the europeans in the EU will follow the anglos. Not every country is like Hungary or Slovakia and i am still amazed or rather, shocked that Finland threw away its gift of neutrality just to be another slave state marcher vassal lord for the anglos in line with the Baltics.
It's narcissism; these Chinese libs take the viewpoint that they're so smart, they're going to let barbarian americans fight and kill their own domestic enemies so they can rule by default. It's the chiang kai-shek strategy vis-a-vis the japanese invasion of China.
I think you underestimate to what extent racism influences European decision making. Even if they are not explicitly in your face like the American Ku Klux Klan or explicitly talking about white supremacy, it seems they just cannot take non-white countries seriously and if given any kind of choice they will side with the white choice even if it is self-injurious. It's practically unconscious and I think nothing short of having for example their naval ships blown out of the water in the South China Sea will snap them out of their snobbishness (any maybe not even then).
