I like that pic, OP.
The answer is: Uralics has to take over the EU. Except Finlan and Estonia are as insane as Germany these days.
How do we solve the G*rman Problem?
EU is kinda inevitable.
All the nations in the EU have this paradoxical notion of aspiring to be an empire while preserving a high sense of individualism. It's paradoxical because empires are typically multi-national, multi-ethnic. This notion comes from antiquity, as with so many other things, we inherited if from Greece and Rome.
Up to the middle of the last century, the empire was initiated unilaterally, one of the nations tried to conquer the rest. The EU however is a cooperative effort. More or less.
Anyway to fix the EU, the EU needs cheap resources, first and foremost cheap energy. "Renewables" how windmills and solar panels "renew" btw? are they grow on trees? aren't cheap. It's either gas or uranium. Nor the US neither the Arabs are cheap source. It's either Russia or Africa. Both has problems which needs to be solved.
The decision is: either make peace with Russia or unfuck Libya and the Sahel.
While this is getting solved have to severe ties with the US, have to become independent. First and foremost Europe have to be able to "defend" itself. Europe needs an army, and larger nuclear arsenal.
Lotsa money into arms production. Lotsa investments are good for the economy. It's an indirect investment into everything else, since arms manufacturers don't just sit on the moneybags but they spend it.
So: get cheap gas and uranium, and build a large army (perhaps as small as 500K troops would be enough). With navy and air force ofc.
>empires are typically multi-national, multi-ethnic
No, that's how empires dying.
>have to severe ties with the US, have to become independent
EU can't severe ties with USA. Too much to lose.
>The decision is: either make peace with Russia or unfuck Libya and the Sahel.
EU will fuck Russia instead.
>First and foremost Europe have to be able to "defend" itself.
Yes, "defend".
>Europe needs an army, and larger nuclear arsenal.
Already has both. The first one is called NATO the second is France (UK while not in EU anymore will gladly help to fuck Russia and it has nukes too)
Don't tell me you can't see the difference between a Union and Empire?
It would be funny to argue with Egyptians, Romans or Mongolians about multikulti, right until they enslave and whip you. Equally fun could be to impress Victorian British with such concept. Than they tie you to a cannon or starve to death.
First of all it may destroy their nations or do not recognize them as nations or human beings at all. Examples - any European empire during colonial era or any ancient empire until the end of Rome (which ended exactly because late Roman leadership recognized former colonial subjects as legitimate citizens). Consequently any modern European power will cease to exist if immigration won't stop same way as it was over for Rome.
Boomers still have a strong emotional bond to their small states, the school propaganda they were subjected to was really effective. We have to wait until they're weak and powerless. After that we can Bild our strong european republic that will adequately serve the needs of the great european nation.
Prussia had strong and competent leadership. The eu doesnt and is infested with if not led by american clients
Consider that european strategic assets (greenland, as said earlier) are openly being discussed as potential new territories for an imperial rival that castrated hogs see as an ally - europe says nothing and gives no strong response or support for denmark. Eu is a joke, that is why russia moves into its natural 'backyard.'
In general I can agree on what you wrote. But.
>european strategic assets (greenland
Greenland is not owned by Europe or the EU. It's own by Denmark. It is not a European or EU asset, it's a Danish asset. Denmark can do whatever she wants with it, she could sell it even - how'd they do this is up for Denmark. If the US used military force, they'd violate Denmark's sovereign borders. I'm not saying here the US is beyond violating sovereign borders of a country/state, she proved that in the past she's capable doing that.
EU is not a state. It has nothing like a state has. EU is a international/supranational organization. It has agreements. Paper and words all the assets the EU has.
>It is not a European or EU asset, it's a Danish asset. Denmark can do whatever she wants with it, she could sell it even - how'd they do this is up for Denmark
Denmark is part of Europe. Regardless of how the EU constitutes itself the interference of any external power in the affairs of any European country is a threat to all of them. Europe is not simply an international institution, it is a civilisation. It is not up to Denmark, a country of a few million, it is up to the United States.
All European countries, and peoples thereof, must recognise that American aggression toward Denmark is a reflection of external powers' perceptions of Europe's weakness. This is as consequential for how America or China treats Hungary as for Denmark.
>Europe is not simply an international institution
1. I wrote EU is a international/supranational organization.
2. Europe is neither.
You are mixing up the two on purpose so you can strawman my point.
>Europe is a civilisation
Europe is not a civilization. I can agree on that "European civilization" do exist. But that not creates a community or a common responsibility.
The EU could take responsibility, but that's a different matter.
EU is an international/supranational organization, consisting of states/countries that are USA clients. There is a strong USAian lobby that influences EU bureaucrats. So if you want you can consider it as a vassal. Right now it feels like the EU is a piggy bank for the US.
>Europe is not a civilization.
Yes it is.
>I can agree on that "European civilization" do exist. But that not creates a community or a common responsibility.
It can, ought to and must for the continued existence of its constituent nations as something more than husks for foreign powers to operate upon.
>EU is an international/supranational organization, consisting of states/countries that are USA clients
And now we see the Americans do not want them anymore. Marvelous, should have happened sooner. Now what do you say?
>Americans do not want them anymore.
That's where you are wrong.
Besides the cashing in from the piggy bank, Trump is just relegating responsibility. It is a misconception that the US shouldered everything all the time, but the reality is it relied on "junior partners" - especially wealthy ones - to step up and act "independently". At one point in the past, a US Secretary of State said to Bri'ish foreign minister:
>For God's sake, behave like Britain!
>Someone's arse has to be licked shiny. And currently that arse has to be American for a large chunk of the world.
That sounds like the misconception here.
What is currently being discussed in Europe isn't a pissant measure that sends more money into the American military industrial complex, in fact there are noises regarding the cancellation of orders already agreed upon. Potentially there is a European military-industrial complex being agreed upon, which is not in America's interests. When they say 'more spending,' they mean more spending on their planes, guns and systems.
The thing you don't appreciate is that America's "junior partners" are only so for as long as they don't meet the ostensible demands of the US. Consider - why tolerate allies' ignoring demands for increased military spending when they rely on American protection? To foster dependency, with all the power and the leverage that comes with it.
Tl;dr Europe is not Mexico. There is no need for an external hegemon. The US has overstepped itself
