With the flow of power. Granted that became muttled post Civil war.
has 1.3 billion people
china has 1.4 i think
the US was united in less then 100 years. a 100 years in Europe is a blink of an eye in the history books
usa has 350 million
I feel like people who think Europe can be a federation like the US, aren't familiar with US history
european nations have 50-60 million
largers ones at least
Or with European for that matter @Fitzydog
they need to stand united
It's not a numbers game dude
It's a culture thing
i know
No, you don't lol
that is why i think a federation at this time is not possible
Europe have over 3000 years of history, that is not something that goes away easy
@desert hamster There is a closer culture between Califorinia and New York, than France and Germany.
hmm
what about between rural montana and new york? 😃
Yes, still closer
yes, i know there is
even Scandinavia is hard to unite and we have practically the same culture in all the nations
that is why eu should have stayed a trade union
until the time people felt a sense of belonging
in 50-100-200 years
@desert hamster So you right now are suggesting that all the cultural history of European countries should be erased, to suit YOUR vision for a unified powerhouse
The other backstop is in the US federalization certain powers were always reserved for the state. While the EU doesn't have such a backstop.
no
but the EU was never made to be a trade union but to make the united states of Europe from the start
not erased
That's the outcome of your solution
The EU was more to form the older idea of League of Nations, rather than a United States of Europe
but unless you don't erase it. you will never get a Italian and a French to truly work together or a German and a Spaniard
Why should they?
Fuck France
🤢
See?
europe needs to stick together
Hell try getting the UK to be closer to any mainland nation.
@desert hamsterWhy??
