Europe has been around for a hell of a lot longer than the US. Seen countless bloody wars, and almost dang near wiped itself off the map less than 100 years ago. On top of providing the source material for the US to begin its course as a proto-european country. Language, art, culture, engineering know-how, state-craft, law, even religion and guns.

The US is essentially a version 1.2 of Europe.

I mean, sure. That doesn’t change the fact that Europe is largely a protectorate of the US.

Sort of an Eloi-like existence.
