I think your analisis of European politics is incorrect, slightly.
For one the western Europeans love the current economic situation, their main issue is with immigration and a sense of cultural and ethnic decline.
The eastern european countries are largely depended on western Europe economically, while they oppose migration they know they need us as much as we need them, in fact if you look at the eastern economic policies we are kinda expanding and trying to gear countries like Ukraine further towards our block, idk if you heared but Donald Trump has put sanctions on Germany's Nordstream 1 and 2 project, this will fuel anti americanism even more, making that EU army seem more justified.
As for brexit, idk what evidence you have the EU is doing anything with the UK, they just want a deal and get on with it, the UK was the biggest block of hard Euro-sceptic, now the EU has returned to their core countries, Germany, France, the Netherlands so on.
What I do see is a rise in populism, nativism, anti americanism, anti islam and pro European idenitify politics.
I hope the UK does well with brexit, if they have a deal with the EU they remain in the single market, might mean they will vote again on membership at some point, or perhaps northern ireland and scotland might leave, that's a moral blow to the UK, though that's still speculation, depends on the economic growth and potential terrorist attacks.
I think NATO might be reformed or end at the end of the next decade, Europeans are tired of US wars and Trump may very well try to invade iran in his second term which would be a big deal for European countries since we buy a lot of their oil, overal it seems our focus is shifting from the USA towards the east and asia.
