I mean we did make Western Europe decolonize and stopped the Anglo-French intervention in the Suez Crisis, and both of those turned out to be mistakes, but we also spent basically the entire twentieth century liberating, rebuilding, and defending your wretched continent. I think it’s mostly a reaction to having an inferiority complex about Western Europe increasingly turning into a poor, irrelevant backwater, which is tragic compared to the heights of previous centuries but also inevitable after most of your best people crossed the Atlantic.
