Between NATO and the UN, we are in everyone's back yard. It's 2014, countries can't just go around acquiring territory anymore. There has to be consequences, and whether Europe wants to admit it or US constituents want to accept it, the world looks to us first.

I agree, they have more of a vested interest in this than we do.
However, I think they are used to having the assurance that the big, bad US military always has their back and is eager to intervene if/when they have problems. We've been there for so long, they are used to being able to have the option to use us as a "911" service if needed. This is something we need to change. They don't need to beef up their security because they don't have to.
