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.
Without German manpower NATO would've stood on clay feet the whole cold war. That's just off the top off my head

IEurope has many shortcomings, most of which have been transplanted on the wider world due to the fact Eruope decided to play risk for a couple of centuries....Granted who wouldn't? Still, I will forever remain envious of Europe for one thing. The rather simple ability to carry on. For 50 years continental Europe knew it would be turned into a roach hotel had the cold war turned hot and they simply carried on. America has a couple of medium range, underpowered nukes put in its backyard and everyone LOSES THEIR MIND.

This ability to take everything in stride carriess over into all facets of life. America is the queen of melodrama, if we aren't wondering how we are going to die we are wondering how our God will judge us when we die. It's rediculos.

I just want to drink, listen to myself sound like and intellectual, and have relations with women whom also love the fine art of bulldaisy.

Is that to much to ask?
