Sometimes enemies telegraph their hostility. Say, look at what the European Union wants. When the solution to every problem is "ever closer union" you have to consider whether ever closer union is the only thing that matters to Brussels.
This is fascinating in what it reveals:
Factional struggles around the US president have left Europe at the mercy of competing foreign policy agendas. But European disunity only undermines European interests[.]
What's the solution? More "Europe":
Europeans need to gather all the unity they can to undermine Washington’s divide-and-conquer strategy.
To defend themselves against America.
I think that divide-and-conquer accusation is a whole lot of EU projection. And of course the EU fanboys (and girls) view America as their main enemy. America is the main reason Europeans have freedom more broadly since 1945.
Without American influence in Europe, I don't know how long that breadth of freedom will last. The proto-imperial European Union can't strip away the prefix to suppress stirrings of liberty amongst the peasants who need to know their place with America around. So every "crisis"--real or imagined--is an opportunity to chip away at the prefix.
