Of course it is.
Man, with your knowledge why don't you work for the government?
"Mr President, we have a situation... Europe is planning a mass combined invasion on America!"
"Gee wiz, son! Best bring the Ultimate Warrior out of retirement! He'll whoop ass, baby!"
"But, Mr President..."
"No, I won't hear it! I think we'll take out that funny little place first.. Great Britain, isn't it? Ok, ask Britain if they'll go first, then we can let Germany and France attack. Those French aren't up to much, they don't even shave their under-arms!"
"Sir, they're hardly going to..."
"That's enough from you, boy! Hell, why don't you go and start setting up the queue lanes, make sure to get plenty of "If you're not this tall..." signs for those short-asses... We don't want them attacking us until the end."
I'm sorry, but if Europe had to join forces to invade any country each and every faction within the EU has its own able strategies. Even if they refused to work alongside eachother (and, er, by coming to the conclusion to attack the most powerful nation on the planet, I think somehow that they would already have "worked well together") then they could still individually attack America and still over-whelm them by numbers.
But, your idea that they would take it in turns to attack is ludicrous. You've watched too many Rambo movies.
Remember this: There are what... 250 million people in America? By the time the war got as far as drafting in civilians America would be down to drafting women, children and old age pensioners when Europe would still have millions and millions of able-bodied young men ready for basic training.
And if anyone here believes a war between America and Russia, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Spain, Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark, Netherlands, Portugal, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Cyprus, San Marino and Switzerland without it going as far as drafting in civilians has
definitely watched too many Rambo movies.
Your idea that Europe would take it in turns to attack, or would not defend as a unit is a prime example of the foolish, self-important isolationistic attitude that Americans are infamous for.
Of course Europe wouldn't work together... Those Europeans are a lesser species, aren't they? They couldn't work their way out of a paper bag without the help of us Americans...
