Unlike that whole "manifest destiny" thing, depriving Native Americans of their lands (ongoing to this day) and slaugtering those that stood up for themselves, oh, and slavery and even after emancipation continuing to deprive them and their descendants of their rights, (again, ongoing to this day), molesting weaker nations in South America since in the early 19th century like some sort of national paedophile, rampant anti-semitism and neo-Nazisim allowed in many states as "free speech" in ways that are not tolerate in the aforementioned Europe, stealth and space technology taken from, and perfected with Nazi war-criminals given shelter and succour by the US government. Oh and let's not forget, it was European enlightenment thought that invented America and that many of the USA's founding fathers were European subjects and, had they lost would have been executed as terrorists. And here I am, neither American or European and pretty equally appalled by them both. As a neutral observer I can say I am far more impressed by how far Europe has come since 1945 than how far the USA has come since 1776.
