No

I said it can be viewed as a loose confederation because an economic/military alliance does imply some minimal central organization, and some dictionaries list "alliance" as a definition for confederation.

NATO is a better comparison

Yeaah

NATO is a far better comparison

As with the EU model, it still puts 1 person and by extention 1 nation/state above the rest, which leads to animosity between any that have a poor history or relation between each other

While with Nato, its essentially a coalition where even if Nato rules one way, other nations in it can still operate the way they want to

Its why France still uses the FAMAS and revolvers, while at the same time other nations use a standardized version of the M416

HMMMMMMMMMMM

Shhhhhhhh

Maybe thats why none have left the shelf

I mean, I get what you're trying to say here, but other nations in NATO have decided to use other guns (Like Germany's G36 and MG3, or England's L85, or Italy's AR70/90). NATO specified bullet calibers and essentially said "have at it" that's why its the 7.62x51 NATO round, or the 5.56x45 NATO. You'll notice that practically every nation is required to use the same round. Despite that, the US is still looking at and using whatever the heck they want, because they can.

So maybe not the best way to introduce what youre trying to create, because what you want to create likely won't be feasible with how the world and most countries' political agendas work.

Plus the US has major pulling power in NATO, so a decision made by the US essentially makes a decision for many, if not most of NATO. It's the main reason countries like Germany were drawn into Iraq and Afghanistan.

What you have proposed is what the US is supposed to be. The states are pretty much left alone to themselves unless there is a specific threat requiring federal intervention (e.g. war with another nation). The federal govt. Was never supposed to have the power it now holds. That's why there's an electoral college, a multi-stage acceptance process to ratify bills and propositions, and seperate levels of government.

The issue is that the political sphere is similar to a living creature: it will do whatever it can to survive and grow stronger, that's why we're in the mess we have today. The feds gained more power, little by little, until they were able to control nearly every facet of our miserable existence. It can and does happen in every political sphere in history.

It's almost as if we can be stronger than the Fed if we work together instead of going our separate ways.

We have to get out of the Team Sports Mentality of our current political system. I'd wager that most Americans have similar enough ideals that we could easily unite if we weren't driven apart by a 2 Party system.

Too many don't know or care what the other side says because they don't play for the same team.
