Absolutely. Although this didn't just start in 2025. It is pretty common knowledge that since NATO was created its main function was always to subordinate Europe. Charles de Gaulle, though in many other respects a reactionary, to his credit temporarily and partially pulled France out of NATO in 1966. The EU and its predecessor the EEC also were constructed for the purpose of simplifying and centralizing US economic and then political control over Europe.
The Eurozone also exists as a tool to centralize European finance and take away currency sovereignty from EU member states.
Correct.
The CIA under Allen Dulles also tried to assassinate de Gaulle in 1961, but Kennedy figured it out and warned him. There were a few other assassination attempts on him that the CIA likely had a hand in.
Other notable mentions: Italy and Greece, where the US successfully thwarted left-wing governments from taking power, and funded fascist paramilitaries.
Europe has largely been under US dominance since the end of WW2, and that was the main reason the US got involved in the war in europe, to prevent it from turning red, as it was clear by 1942 that the soviets would defeat nazi germany. Autonomy is only allowed within certain limits (anti-communism, and a pro-US foreign policy), and if any country strayed too far, they were nudged back in the right direction.
