When it came to the unification of Germany, the United States was need to insist on the unification of East Germany not with the FRG but with Austria. This would lead to the revival of Austro-Hungary, which could be made loyal to US policy, and deploy NATO forces in key areas of control in eastern Europe. By this time, the USSR had lost control over eastern Europe anyway. Including the Serbian nationalists, this would give control over former Yugoslavia.
The unification with West Germany increased Germany's influence in Europe, and cut off eastern Europe from the United States and brought Germany closer to Russia. Perhaps this was the main reason for the gradual decline in US influence in Eastern Europe.
This failed policy has led to the fact that now the United States can not influence the Nord Stream and could not even place an anti-missile defense system in Eastern Europe according to the original plan.
