Depends on which part of the world are you asking.
I live in Eastern Europe. US military (and NATO, but I am just repeating myself) is currently the only reason why Russian armies are not marching through our streets. Western Europe alone would gladly sacrifice us at any moment.
I understand that if you asked e.g. someone from South America, you could get a dramatically different answer. But I am speaking for myself right now.
