You make an interesting argument, and I agree with the above statement.
But much of Europe’s prior instability was due to Germany and France being at each other’s throats. That period is gone now, and it’s not coming back. So does Europe really still need us to maintain stability?
If Wilson had not foolishly intervened in WW I Europe (and the world) would be a much more stable and peaceful place.
