I don't use childish slang to discuss serious matters, but although no great supporter of the EU, do not see it having been created to damage either the US nor "Europe" (i.e. the two dozen or so different countries that occupty the continent of Europe).

Nor to harm anyone else, come to that, not deliberately anyway, if only because that would be self-defeating.

I do though think it protectionist, over-bureaucratic, over-central and over-expensive.

I see it as a basically good idea gone badly wrong..
