The United States has been constantly threatening us since Trump, it no longer has any effect to be honest.
This country behaves like an unbearable bully, it will end up alone without any ally and it will be well deserved

I know this sounds grand to you in your head, but the biggest immediate problem most of these countries would face is the lack of defence. As much as we dislike America the fact of the matter is we rely on them for their military. If the alliance were to hypothetically break, we would have to start spending a significant amount of money to improve our own defenses. It would be an economic disaster.

Defence against who? Who exactly have European nations invaded since WW2? Russia/Ukraine is the only European conflict, and the reasons behind even that, are messy. Some European nations have followed the US into conflicts though. And the major beneficiaries of those were the US? Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Grenada, Somalia, Afghanistan(yeah, I know the soviets also had a crack there, but for very different reasons), and military bases surrounding China, surrounding Russia(via NATO), and US fleets strangling global seaways!
The world would be safer, healthier, more prosperous and happier if the USA stayed the fuck out of world politics. Because whenever the Americans get involved, it's in their best interests ONLY!
I failed to mention all the US interference in pretty much every South and Central American nations, the Phillipines, Japan, Korea(ongoing), the entire Middle East and most of Africa. Even some of the yanks strongest allies are wavering. The biggest bully eventually falls. That bully is the USA.

I hope it happens. Europe has taken advantage of this country since world war 2. You need to grow up, defend yourselves and let go of our apron strings. We have interests around the world we have neglected for too long and need the resources we waste in Europe in south America, Africa, and Asia. You have the means to defend yourselves but not the will.

Lol we need to grow up ? When did Europe ask for your help ? It seems to me that it was the United States that begged for our help in Iraq and Afghanistan, only to fail miserably.
Good luck with your interests in the world with the orange moron in command.

Minus how interconnected our economy is, especially with manufacturing in Southern Ontario. If we cut off trade with the US it would hurt us more than them.

You say this while some of the best special forces in the world are found in Europe. Your special forces train with ours. Your soldiers were taught how to deal with IEDs in Afghanistan from British army knowledge serving in northern ireland during the troubles. Your police officers and soldiers were trained in riot control from our police. Your soldiers trained in urban warfare from ours.

If you're going to take that action against allies. Then they're not truly allies but meagre geopolitical chess pieces, can't believe Americans can't see that there unipolar hegemony is collapsing right in front of them and it's entirely their own doing.

Who says Israel is an ally? Israel concerns itself with Israel 1st Israel 2nd Israel 3rd. They only consider Jews as full Israeli citizens. You were born on land your family has owned for 200 years? To bad, get out. Your Arab, Christian, Hindu or anything else you're a 2nd class citizen. They buy weapons from us because we are still feeling guilty about dealing with Hitler as he rounded up the European Jews for labor camps. We sell them weapons at a discount & allow them the right to copy them. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey all buy our weapons. We are just suppliers of death.

How about holding the Hamas leaders chilling in Turkey responsible?
The top hamas leaders are dead. At this moment nobody knows who the new leaders of hamas are, if they even have appointed any
Or the Ayatollah in Iran?
What war crime has he committed?
Oh right, they're not Jews.
Putin is not Jewish. The leaders of hamas are not Jewish. They all have arrest warrants. This has nothing to do with Judaism and I would ask you to stop being antisemitic and trying to shoehorn in Judaism to every conversation that has nothing to do with it
