They will fingerwag, they will clutch pearls, they will be be perfunctory in the hopes to create an image that they have the bargaining chips in “negotiations” with the US, but inspite of it all, so long as the living conditions in Europe are good enough for the Europeans, and as long as wars, genocides, resource expropriation, modern-day slavery, comprador installations and other forms of imperialism applied on the Global South helps to refill their coffee mugs in the morning, and as long none of that is happening in the same manner to them, they won’t mind being the US’ dog for the foreseeable future.

this could easily describe the people of the global north.
