anon, the only reason america became the current ruler empire is because of world war 2. everyone was in ruins while american industry was left in tact and free to assert total control of the world market. everything after that is a masterful power play from the old powers to cement the american hegemony, even now all of this is just to keep it alive and thriving. it is in the best interest of the us to keep the eu under its heel, anything to cripple its industry and have it be heavily reliant on american assistance is a win for the us government.
