If we are talking about what is or is not realistic, an independent Europe that replaces its elites and decides to separate from America is already extremely unrealistic. If this is in fact achieved or even attempted, it must necessarily occur precisely on nation state lines. I do not think it is necessary for every European state to have nuclear weapons - the big, powerful states are the only ones that require a nuclear arsenal.

Well I don't agree on that. We conflate our enemies because we are interested in some very specific points, mostly related to cultural and ethnical issues. But it's not like we are alone against a big monolithic block devoted only to crash us. There are other driving forces, material and cultural interests, political positions and so on. Stating that Europe will forever follow the US even without the military subjugation is just false: during this ucranian war the European interest is to stop it ASAP, both for economical, diplomatical and security reasons, while America's interest is prolonging it in order to secure his position in Europe and harm the Russian power. Same in the sirian war, where the objective interest of Europe was to stabilize the situation in order to progress with his agenda. If we were indipendent, we would have had very different stances on both matters, and that would have opened a wide window to crticize those elements of the American culture that are anti-european. Similar situations will arise in the future.

You're still thinking in national terms. The ruling class are all liberal cosmopolitans, they have no attachment to any given country, nor to its economic fortunes. The only thing that matters to them is their own, individual material gain, and the maintenance of their power and ideology.
