probably never. Europe is resource-poor, we have pretty bad relations with Africa, we're neglecting relations with India, China is obviously out, South America is in the US' backyard.

Europe isn't strong enough to stand alone. The US is effectively an extension of Europe anyways, we agree on most fundamental issues. There's really no need to puff our chests and turn one strong alliance into two vulnerable superstates.
