Europe is not a country. If you meant the EU, it is also not a country. You are comparing the US to a bloc. Each member state will likely take a different approach to independence from the US, and the bloc as a whole may offer some incentives in that direction. One thing is for sure, any talk about independence from the US 10 years ago would be looked at with complete skepticism. People that said anything in that direction was looked at as a crank. Now it is a much more palatable position. Change starts like that. Will it hold? I can't tell. I think it will be very unlikely for things to go back to the previous state.
