not that the EU is trying to mess with UK Government workings or anything, speaking at the lib dem conference, disgusting

BASED GUY

EU EMPEROR WHEN

Guy Verhofstadt shouldn't be wasting his time with the left of Britain.

They don't even embrace Classical Liberal values, but Liberal International has been building a coalition for some time.

I wish someone would just nuke Brussels

More deluded wishes.

How is it deluded?

You won't have to nuke Brussels, if there is a further adversarial expansion and intervention by foreign nations looking to pick off EU States.

You have plenty of hungry wolves at your doors.

Then, you have the ineffectiveness of the EU, with respect to immigration too busy guarding internal borders, unable to effectively enforce around the regional border, strictly due to the lack of there being a constitutional EU.

Don't worry; Europe's time will come soon enough.

hope so, i hate this project, its killing europe

europe as a collective of interesting individual countries that is, as opposed to a mass federalisation project - because imperialism is bad except when done by globalists in suits

I don't know what to hope for, because I have a profound distaste for the left dictating the direction of a USE, yet at the same time see the future of all countries throughout the region in grave jeopardy without a USE, from both immigration and geopolitical threats.

In my opinion, the best way the conservatives and the right throughout the region can secure a positive future for a USE is by embracing it and influencing the development moving forward.

I personally hope the project excels, as the market shills keep telling me, competition is good for everyone.

Some EU / US competition, here we come.

Displacing yourselves from positions of influence won't do any good.

That'd be a positive feature, the reason for many not supportive of an EU within the US, @Weez.

On the other hand, we have such commonality among our respective cultures it's quite difficult to foresee any conflict resulting from such, @Weez.

It depends on what the future president decides, but I can imagine economics being possible point.

Military hardware is another point where competition will arise.

I see them as more of an ally granting resilience from geopolitical threats for the West.

Europe will be weaned off of American equipment

Sure, that's always existed, though.

And that's fine.

Weapons sales are less than a single percentage of our GDP, and that's all sales across the globe.

In the future it will expand quite heavily I'd imagine

There will always be the possibility of strategic conflicts of interest

Especially when it comes to China

Yes, but Europe and the US has always had, in majority, mutual interests.

🇪🇺 > 🇬🇧

lolwut?

Well, Chinese FDI has been greatly restricted by the EU.

ok...

but no

So, there's quite a bit of mutual concern there.

The US has basically enforced its will on Europe

Making US interests, European ones

do you think it was in Europe's interest to decolonize? lmao
