America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests

• Henry Kissinger

America isn't even an American ally.

No.

There's a serious amount of threats and hostile actions the US has taken against Europe. And it's not just this administration.

That's not subjectieve.

FFS no, obviously not.

Americas ally is money, strangely so is Europes.

Nope

Sadly, no. Too many people that don't understand politics and are tribal so keep digging their holes deeper but won't stop, to remain on their team. They are selfish and call it independent, and a bunch of other fables they cling to for cheap, conditional identity. They're that desperate for belonging they stay in the abusive and conditional group, or swing back and forth w/o real thought.

Spoiler: the answer is "no". If you must fear that every four or so years, your supposed "ally" will be taken over by a traitorous, corrupt moron, you have! No! Ally!

Fool me once, fool me twice, and all that jazz.

Now geht on with it!

Short answer : no

Obviously not.

This is reaching "battered spouse" levels of delusion that the question is still being asked even.

Take a look at the two world wars. European "allies" went to war. Their allies joined. USA refrained until either they were attacked or it looked like not getting involved would harm them. In other words, USA are allies when it suits them. This has always been the case.

Hey, at least we can all agree on supporting Israel!

Right now, it is ally to no one, not even itself.

The best ally’s are ones that you don’t have to rely on when they’ve time and again been fair weather.

Europe needs to be able to stand on its own feet for more equal footing.

No it’s not. Deal with it finally.

Europe is a colonial subject at least since middle east wars started. Some would even argue that its ever since end of WW2, but I'm not so sure of that.

The problem didn't start with current admin, its just more pronounced now.

One counter argument to colonialism is that many genuinely believed in liberal world order. Some stil do.

I think Europe needs to act as if the US is not an ally. I like to think the US would fight in NATO, but most Americans don't care. Europe is a vacation destination at best.

A lot of Americans I know feel like Europe are snobs and weak. Since my childhood, everyone jokes about how French and Germans think they are better then Americans. European universities and companies are looked down upon in the US as subpar (except UK).

The thing is that Americans all know dozens of immigrants, including Europeans, but we barely know anyone who left the US. The bias builds itself.

if you have to ask the question then the answer is obviously no

Europe should not rely on the U.S. anymore and should focus on european alternatives

It so happened a few days ago that the President of the USA declared at one of his rallies that he'd welcome it if someone took out Los Angeles or San Diego.

It sounds like it's pointless to ask if the US is an ally of Europe, when it's not even an ally of its own largest cities.

The current regime in the US is a corrupt group of traitors who don't have allies. They only understand transactional relations, even in their own homes.

The US is only on your side now due to money, power, and what you can do for the people at the top. It's no longer about shared history, democratic ideology, or shared safety on the global stage. Act accordingly.

Someone’s asking this question literally a decade late but oh well.

Culturally EU and US are very similar, and it makes all the sense to for them to be allies. However the current US administration is very hostile to the EU, and there is no doubt that they aren't allies, at least in the near future.

The more important question is to know if this is restricted to the current administration, or if they just let the mask fall off.
