The ironic thing is that I think the only realistic way to get an European army on a reasonable time scale would be pretty much the worst case scenario: A full conventional war with Russia without US support, which would literally force European countries to integrate their militaries beyond what we currently do in NATO.

I guess I just wouldn’t call it insurance as it barley mitigates the impacts of a potential blockade. It’s more like their backup lifeline should shit hit the fan.
That’s a bit of a stretch. I’m sure Russia could supply them with oil, but you can’t just shift China’s sea trade to land like that. So a blockade would still have a massive impact. Not a very good insurance.
How is Russia an insurance against that?
