I have been thinking about the latest / to "just walk away" from the & do with again.

Pretty sure they won't.

But just theoretically, if they did - would the sanction the then ?

🤔

@berlinfokus

Trump is absolutely capable of doing that.
and the EU will not sanction the US for siding with Russia.

Yes is absolutely capable of hurting US interests if he senses a profit opportunity for himself.

On the other hand there is still a long way to go, since the US would have to lift its on Russia before being able to do business with them.

Many occasions for the EU to warn the US before an actual sanctioning would take place someday.

But at the end of the day its all about power.

And that power is called & resides in the EU. 🧏‍♀️

@berlinfokus there will be much less agreement among EU states about making a stand against the US than against RF, and even the latter one is not stable.

@kami_kadse

Yes.

Germany would be among those who are bitterly opposed to sanctioning the US. And they are no pushover inside the EU.

It DOES seem unlikely. But so seemed the Russia sanctions back then.

I honestly don't know. Not trying to convince you or change your opinion, just weighting arguments here.
