Europe isn't a country, it's a continent. I see individual countries in Europe discusses frequently, but none of them are even close to the US in size and influence. Even the entire3 EU combined has a lower GDP and smaller military than the US.

The US is the world superpower, annoying as that is, and until it is no longer the dominant superpower it's going to dominate the news.
