The Euro is a bit player in reserve currencies. The fact that Europeans use the Euro to trade with each other isn't a concern for the U.S. As long as critical international commodities trading is largely done in USD (which it is, even for Europe), Europe presents no risk to American economic hegemony.

Don't get it twisted.

War today is a post-modern, media infested, political/economic maneuvering game. The U.S. played a major role in making the world so peaceful that the idea of total war isn't even on the table anymore.

But if total war were to break out, the might of the U.S. military can't be matched by our 50 worst enemies. Once civilian casualties are no longer important, our enemies would shit their pants.

The U.S. military is very effective at doing what it was built to do: keep the wars over there.
