How does threatening to take land from allies and making tariffs on allies fit into this plot?

There were no (or only very few) cold warriors in the EU. If anything there are only more now that the US have turned its back on its allies. The EU is arming up, because of the wavering US foreign policy. EUs current defense spending goal is 5% of GDP.
The EU in its current form is no new Soviet Union at all. Not in any way. Even if we act as a single nation (very unlikely) we wouldn't be as strong as the soviet union was. Saying that the EU could be the new Soviet Union, is showing how uninformed that person is.
The US and EU was close allies until the current US administration. A stronger EU would only have been in the financial sector and even that would not have been certain at all. What the US should have been concerned about is a strong China and should anything embolden China to take agressive action against the US, the US would have been able to rely on its many allies. But that is no longer a given.
Denmark needs the nuke too to protect it self from Russia, but also the US.
One of EUs biggest members left the EU a few years ago by democratic means. How is that imperialist?
