Europe is basically a U.S. vassal state, so it shouldn't surprise you.
I'd rather not, because it would damage the power dynamic of the EU.The USA is an all-powerfull political entity that can dictate terms on its own. A bit like a monopoly. Europe is a large group of players, condemned to each other, making parallel but not identical choices (e.g are you in/out/half part of the EU).This changes the way you talk to others, as you'll need to talk to them again, and the power dynamic will have shifted.So the USA knows it's the best

But sometimes friends have to call out each other when things go in a bad direction.But most Americans probably have to deal with the fact that they really aren’t the greatest country on earth any longer, except for military spending, gun deaths and prisoners. This realization is needed before one
Yes, but the comment said "European" nonetheless."European" describes multiple political entities each of which has similar concerns.The only one of those entities that has actually made any progress towards independence from the US is Russia.
