You're calling Europe an extortionist continent? Please, look yourself in the mirror and reflect on the wretched acts of war, terror and human suffering that the USA is solely responsible for.

The USA took the chance it had after World War II to control and occupy large parts of the globe and fight senseless wars. US companies commit fraud and corruption in Europe at a horrifying scale and with systematic precision.

Europe here wants to protect the rights of its citizens and tax companies operating on their soil accordingly. Thinking of USA Inc. and its subsidiaries as the good guys here shows just how disconnected you are from what is going in the world.
