Safer for who? Probably not for Europe, certainly Eastern Europe who see what Putin is doing in Ukraine. Probably not for Japan and South Korea, both of whom rely on US military backing against undemocratic opponents who have designs on their territory.

US military strength underpins the current Western democratic system, which keeps the US wealthy through trade and commerce.

It would be safer for europe if the US wouldn't act like an idiot in the arabic world. Or at least if they would learn something from their zillions of mistakes. Islamic terrorism kills people everywhere, but mostly not in the US.

Given what Putin is doing in Ukraine, and given how the US and Europe appeared to be totally unprepared, it doesn't seem like the NSA is really benefiting Europe enough for it to be a viable for the necessity of the NSA.
