I'm not the only one:
The centralization of political power in Europe is not in the interests of the United States, and it will threaten both the Anglo-American special relationship and the broader transatlantic alliance. The Treaty is all about building a vast supranational political entity that will increasingly challenge and oppose American leadership on the world stage. It is inherently undemocratic, and it will ultimately strip away the ability of individual nation-states within Europe to shape their own destinies.
As the world rises in power and dilutes our own power artificially elevated after 1945 as the only major nation not crushed by World War II effects, we may yet become more like we were in 1939 economically, the best of the rest--but with far more military power.
And like 1939, we see a rising potentially hostile Pacific power (China) and now we see a rising Atlantic power that won't be our ally. Russia is in no position to be a real threat to us despite their nukes and aggressiveness. But Europe could well become a serious threat to us as the EU bureaucratic dictatorship entrenches and submerges any pro-American attitudes under the smothering control of anti-American Euro elites.
Why our diplomats--and this includes during the Bush administration--believe the EU is in our interests in beyond me.
