I'll play along with this farfetched hypothetical situation. First off, when has all of Europe ever been able to ban together for any war. as a matter of fact WWI, WWII, and a majority of previous wars are inter European skirmishes that have managed to drag the rest of the world into it. In contridition, when the USA has been attacked or threatened, the people ralley together. Not naming any specific countries, but some of them owe their freedom they have today( including criticizing the USA) to the USA. If the USA attacked Europe, I highly doubt that all European countries would form a unified front, That being said, the US would incur too many casualties and probably withdraw in concession ( aka vietnam). If Europe attacked the USA, very high casualties(both sides) but Europe would definitely lose. Not only would Europe have to beat a strong military on its homeland, but the American people would unite and every guy with a shotgun would be in the battle. No one has ever defeated the USA on its homeland except the USA itself in the civil war
