Partially it is true. The US outgrew the rest of the world thanks to the World Wars. They invested in Europe to rebuild what they and others had destroyed. With other words: They're stuck to Europe. Sink us and you'll sink yourself. The EU is depending on each other, since they aren't a whole yet; they can survive.RicardoBlanco wrote:

Lets say theoretically the U.S. could remain self sustained for 100 years+ and we pulled all military to defense on our land and water borders and stepped back from the world community. Economies would fall, countries would be destroyed, and we would just smile and say see. You don't want us involved and look what happens.
Europeans would be speaking german if it was't for the United States (period) Like you had a handle on that (haha).
With out the U.S. the world as we know it would cease to exist. We are rich money hungry and supply half the economies in the world with their income by giving them our income. If we fall you fall and everyone falls.
Deal. With. It.
Judging by the US' reputation I guess they'll be left on themselves if anything would happen, especially if you'd step out and start some isolation. Then it will be the US who needs aid and the roles will be switched. Nice plan ^^
