You’re vastly underestimating how resource rich America, North America and the Western Hemisphere are.
You’re vastly underestimating how quickly we can exhaust those resources.

…to where we need to mine or drill Europe?
What is your source for any of this?
The only resource suppliers to EU other than the United States is Norway (natural gas pipeline, crude oil 14%) and Australia (coal 36%). The US supplies a a huge minority in those as well as a majority in LNG. (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/interactive-publications/e...)
If the EU ally’s with Australia, pics up an enemy of an enemy - China, they can withstand a US embargo.
About our increasing consumption, you can read the report here (https://www.unep.org/resources/Global-Resource-Outlook-2024).
We can’t extract our way out of this. We’ll have nothing left. We need space minerals and more rocks that aren’t home. We’re fighting over less and less sand in the sandbox.
