Judging by the way the US is going... are they just gonna lock themselves in to their next adversary's fuel?

At least we were an ally at the start of this of this trend

You're extrapolating one somewhat rude adiplomatic president to America going to war with Europe? That's enough internet for you, sir. Time to go for a walk.

Russia is not at war with Europe, its at war with Ukraine.

Both the US and Russia are currently trying to influence the EU to do things that aren't what EU citizens want.

per the drunk signal text leak, Europe's shipping is being negatively impacted by the American Israel/Gaza stance, to the extent that the US has made up for it by bombing the Houthis.

...which says both that the US is an ongoing problem for europe, but that the relationship isnt nearly so shaky as it seems. Trump is getting US strategic goals in Europe, to make Europe pay for anti-Russia preparedness, while the US focuses on anti-China.
