US export controls splitting the EU along Iron Curtain boundaries is a philosophical repudiation of America's top diplomatic victories of the 20th century. Disturbing to see the US denying its alliance with individual members—to me, it's reminiscent of #47's comments denying US' responsibility towards Montenegro, except this one's on the other guy, the supposedly diplomatic one, the supposed champion of alliances in a US-led unipolar free world.
I think it must be a double shock to EU politics to see both American sides' contempt for the unity/solidarity of the EU.
