I have to disagree regarding Europe's relevance - it is still a desirable place to live, and as such holds a lot of financial and political clout. Militarily it is more a target than a destabilizing force, but that doesn't make it irrelevant.
It's unwillingness/inability to project force as necessary makes it irellevant.
