    I think the idea of “hurt” deserves some embellishment. Politicians and financiers in Europe are not willing to internalize the potential hardship of making a clean break from the U.S. NATO is still the current paradigm even though the United States shits on it all the time. As long as Russia remains a bogey man, the U.S. will be able to game European politics.
