I'd be nice if the EU would step up and become more self sufficient with Trump in the White House.

Though I am nervous. I think Trump could still do us a lot of harm.

The EU was holding world peace. This destabilisation is in part caused by America.

Iraq, war on oil. Isreal funded by US arms

Russia owns Trump and Russia wants the EU dead.

By no means should the EU get cosy with the US.

Why shouldn't the US get cosy with the EU?

Why would Russia want the EU dead. They were selling 10's of billions of dollars of oil and gas to it each year. Russia is however a bit paranoid about its own security, having being invaded numerous times over the centuries and wants to keep control of its own economic destiny.

Provide a way where security of both Europe and Russia can be provided for and peace will quickly follow.

I can't fathom where you got that from.

All true, and the EU complicit in all of those. Maybe not by choice (see remark about sovereignty at the end), but complicit nonetheless. You also forgot Syria, Yemen, Yugoslavia and probably a few others as well.

Sorry, but this is not Reddit.

The EU has no choice other than be "cosy" with the US. It's called Pax Americana.

In simple terms, the deal is this and always has been this since WW2 ended: the EU has traded political sovereignty for security, to and from the US.
