Then I invite you to get going without us. I'm so tired of the European idea that they are so much better than Americans until they need to do literally anything, and then suddenly it's "We can't do it without the Americans."

Social security, medical cost, food safety, product safety, consumer protection, worker protection are just some things off the top of my head where the EU is far ahead of the USA. We're only really dependent regarding defense, but honestly, the EU military would probably be enough to stand against Russia if it came to it.
