Considering the way America has acted in the build up to this conflict i can only assume Trans' comment was ironic satire.Which is why we need a united states of europe, it works in america. Lucky that Biden is there with a moral compass. Under the previous admin it might have been very different, just imagine what the trrump deal might have looked like.
Blup
A United States of Europe will not work in the same way - and it's arguable if the USA actually works that well, considering the way Republicans have gerrymandered State Legislature's over the last dozen years. They all seem to be doing the Federal government out of a job, while enriching themselves at its expense. They complain Russia is run by Oligarchs, yet ignore their own folly at electing the richest among their society.
