Richard Wolff thinks this is the US recognizing that it has more to gain from tearing up its alliances and taking what it wants from them than remaining allied with them. I was already leaning towards yes, he's gonna do it because he knows Europe can't/won't do shit to stop it, so this just convinced me further.

Edit: This also entirely aligns with how he is wielding ICE, now that I think about it. He really is going all-in on "might is right."
