Exactly. And the worst part is that it is not just that the people of EU don't want this attitude, this approach is also against their interests! And it's like that with every other country. Take Iran for example. What is the benefit in EU's animosity toward Iran? Nothing! In fact if they went against Washington's orders and improved their relations with Iran they could have reaped the rewards. From high tech production they could have imported from Iran that are far cheaper and with much higher quality to any alternative in the world (gas turbines, 3D printers, medical equipment, prosthetics and bionic organs, even superior defensive equipment like air-defense, and a lot more) all the way to minerals and natural resources. For example did you know Iran has the largest oil+gas supply in the whole world? And EU has been facing an energy crisis for 3 years now and they are forced to buy the highly expensive energy (specially gas) from US instead!
The end result of this approach has been one thing: it is making Europe more and more irrelevant in the global geopolitical scene every day.
It's true that Iran has many things to offer to world apart from oil and gas. Living in neighbouring country(Paksitan) of Iran, our markets are filled with Iranian products specially food products. They are super cheap in price and high quality. Our border areas get electricity from Iran. It's due to USA pressure our government is not buying cheap oil and gas from Iran otherwise price of patrol in our country will go down.
Recently an Iranian cosmetic ad got attention in Pakistan. It's amazing to see that a country with so much sanctions from USA is still producing almost every product.

, and
even their cosmetic ads have attracted attention in Pakistan. Our country
, like Pakistan
, is importing various products from them, including oil and gas, as well as various fruits even Bangladesh has one of the best fashion companies in Italy, Teddy Group which has been in the country since 2004
, and a large amount of raisins and pistachios come to this country from their country. Therefore it can be said that in recent times, they may be able to establish economic ties with other countries of the world through other products
maybe it's largely true that they will continue to ignore the United States.
