China has an absolutist old style sovereignty is king, what people do in their own spheres is nobody's business vision of the world. Same goes for Russia. Japan is leaning toward America. India is torn between a Chinese approach and an alliance with the US. The difference between a Clintonian, muscular liberal internationalism (my personal preference), and EU view of the world is means, not ends - and the liberal internationalists do take Europe's views on means into account. Your dream would leave everything Europeans hate about American foreign policy intact, and their own desires for the world outside Europe itself in tatters. It would be a world where only national interests matter, human rights and economic justice would mean absolutely nothing. Think of how the US, France, and the USSR played in Africa during the Cold War - that's what you'd get all around the world.
