I'm curiouse, if Europe vanished today, would we notice or care? It seems to me that historicaly the US tends to want to protect its interests and will involve itself if needs be. I seem to remember that in WWI and WWII we wanted to stay out of Europe (isolation policy), we only got into it becuse we were attacked in one way or another (Lusitania & Pearl Harbor). So one could say that Europe is not really a vital interest to the US and hasnt been for decades.
Or am I wrong?
What is a major US export to Europe?
The US and Japan fund nearly 50% of the UN budget, who funds the other 50%?
Do we need their help or technology to fight a war?
Can we trust their intelignece agencies?
Do they respect the US at all?
WTF are they good for besides pissing on them?
Ofcourse thats just my opinion, I could be wrong.
