Are you under the impression that Europe is somehow inoculated against imperialism? It's been fine going along with the US right up to this point, and has sins all its own.
Yea? Not only has no eu country made no attempt to acquire new colonies in the last hundred or so years, they actively deloconized!
In opposition to the US, that demands mineral rights among others in Ukraine! That keeps Guam uprepresented for another example, or for a third example their threats of expansion to greenland and canada! When was the last time any eu countries did anything like that?
Eh, colonialism has ended less than it has evolved.
