I expect a ton of down votes for this, but here we go.
The EU needs to gain power through independence before providing a different response. The complicated task will be to protect and solidify personal liberty in the process.
The strongest players want the EU to disperse because they know, that this is the best way to keep criticism at bay. The problem is that the EU is in it's design deeply undemocratic and non European but nationalistic...
Yeah, what should we do? Sanctions on the US? We are more dependent on US then they are on Europe so that will backfire massively. The best is probably to work on independence from US, for example we are very dependent on the payment processors which are American.
The EU has been saying that for like decades though and they never do. At this point their "powerlesness" is just a shield they use to waive away responsibility.
