blah blah blah, all this talk of fighting is rather pointless, as you Europeans can't even compare your own specific countries to the U.S.
You need to compare an ever growing group of nations.
It won't matter until the EU goes from being an economic union (to better compete with the U.S.) to a political one with a central government and European countries reduced to cutural states. (to avoid that feeling of marginalization you have now in the geo-political spectrum).
See you in 50 or so years when this becomes relevant.
And all Europeans have Armies again.
