I understand.  But it seems the beginning of the breakdown of the Western Democracy Alliance.  And that matters.

Should have ended in 1991.  Let the Russians occupy Paris Disneyland.

I am against handing over sovereignty to a bunch of unelected bureaucrats and paying my taxes as tribute to the same.

The EU as it is run today, will fail. It is anti democratic, and becoming a totalitarian hegemony.

Third time lucky? Germany had already 2 attempts (WWI + WWII).

You just need to be bitch slapped by a well muscled butch dominatrix, until you like it.

Europe may or may not become totalitarian.  They may become anti-democratic.  But they will probably never become a hegemony again.  Hegemony tends to follow trade connection patterns, and Europe isn't going to become THAT again unless the world needs some element or mineral they have that isn't currently valuable.

Totalitarian?  Already happened in 1992.  Anti-democratic?  Already happened in 1992.  But yes, hegemony belongs to Russia and China.  Hope they enjoy it.

Ironic how thoroughly that applies to you.

Europe is always killing itself.  The amazing times is when it isn't.

I sometimes get outraged responses when I refer to WWI and WWII as the latest chapters in Europe's eternal civil war.

I agree that Europe always seemed to be in civil war internally or externally in the recent few centuries past.  It is probably a result of being the tech giants of the world at the times of their wars.  And notably diminished as they are reduced in technology advantage.

Nations tend to fight when they think they have an advantage and advantages are usually tech-driven.
