One can clearly see a multitude of ways in which the United States controls and runs Europe: NATO is effectively an American figurehead, especially after the Cold War, after the Cold War the UN has but one superpower to lead it (The UN is even based in the United States!), and countless treaties and alliances between European countries and the United States bind Europe in servitude to the United States.
A. No, Bosnia would never do it precisely because it doesn't depend on us for it's existence. If they refuse, we can't bomb them.
B. And all of America owes its existence to Western Europe (it's ideals, the French in Revolutionary War etc...)
C. The UN is not controlled by the US by any means, China and Russia often love to troll us since they are on the security council and can veto anything they don't like.
D. What treaties? Name them.
