    I agree with your first point, although I believe EU-USA relations are only damaged de jure i.e. all leaders are basically waiting for Trump to leave office and will resume partnership as normal. I suspect relations will be 100% restored once Trump is out. South Korea is also probably in the same boat given the enormous cultural impact the Korean War has had on South Korea (circumcision is widespread for example for no other reason than pro-American views).

    I'm not sure they'll be 100% restored. There's not going to be the same level of trust. Still, Europe is nowhere near united enough to present a coherent foreign policy. We're still dependant on American Empire so we'll participate in maintaining it. Nevertheless, strategic thinking has significantly changed in Europe.

    As to South Korea, 'cultural impact' is one way of putting it when there's a huge US military base in your capital.
