I don’t think the US will ever need to actually do it when the threat is enough to keep its junior partners in line.
I have to say i don't actually believe Europeans are scared of this sort of threats. We know what's at stake for the US here. It would take a lunatic to actually do anything of this sort. Yeah, it would be bad for us, but it would be awful for the US.
On the other hand, a lunatic is just what the US has just elected, so i guess we'll just have to see how this shakes out.
Earlier this year, when republican senators started threatening EU countries with sanctions for rejecting Israel policy, everyone kind of just shrugged it off. There wasn't any real concern. Everyone was mostly going like, ok let them do it then. I'm feeling a sort of exhaustion from US drama in the political atmosphere around here.
