American do think of Europe at times, at least My associates and I do.

We think of Americans fighting with England for independence and the French coming to a young Americas aid. We think of England attacking the US again a couple of decades later in 1812. We also think of the Spanish-American war. We think about how America spent the better part of a century fighting with European nations immediately after it's independence including European support of Confederate States during our civil war.

We think about Europe as a war torn area in both WW1 and WW2 and how America got involved to help both fight those wars and rebuild after the fighting. We think of the lend-lease act that supplied much of Europe during WW2.

We then think about America hosting the United Nations for decades and often wonder why no other nation has stepped forward to host it.

The real questions that should be asked or considered here is:

Do Americans care about what Europeans think?

Do Europeans care about what Americans think?

If we all spent our time worrying about what others think we would never accomplish much in life.
