In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

The thing about the EU is it doesn't want to be a hegemony power like the US was, at least not when it includes military. Those who want are Russia (openly) and China (through the backdoors). Don't know enough about India.

Even with the current push for more military, the maximum I see from the EU is securing its most important trade routes and otherwise project soft power through economical influence.
