    Small correction, EU and NATO are precisely the instruments which allow US to control European countries.

      I agree completely with regards to NATO, but what levers does America pull with regards to the EU? Germany is the dominant player in the economic union and as far as I can tell the US has no visible way of directly steering either the European Council, European Parliament or European commission.
