      You meant to use jilted (as in jilted lovers) - gilted means covered in a thin layer of goldā€¦ and if you wanted gilted youā€™d probably be better of using gilded which is a much more commonly used word for essentially the same connotation of richness.

      This is such an amazing move, a bunch of eu countries donā€™t owe the us any loyalty and probably wouldnā€™t mind serving chinaā€™s interests

        Itā€™s not about serving Chinaā€™s interest so much as no longer serving American interest. As an example, Biden persuaded its partners in Europe and East Asia to exclude China from crucial chip technology. If China changes its approach to Ukraine sharing this technology with them should be on the table. Thereā€™s is simply no longer any reason for Europe to be part of this Cold War-like tension between the US and China, when itā€™s Russia that is our main concern.
