Europe AND North America.
Nuclear war was as much a threat against North America as it was against Europe.
USA was also attacked by Japan in WW2, so USA too could conceivably be attacked again.
EU was to created in huge part to maintain peace in Europe.
Well, NATO was pretty much built to counter a Soviet invasion of Europe – so even though Art. 5 does cover the US (and they’re the only ones to have invoked it so far to justify their bullshit war in Afghanistan) since they’re a member state, the organisation has always been more geared towards keeping Russia from invading Europe.
