This analyst in defense of French President Macron's speech about European integration, including military integration, starts with a breathtakingly idiotic paragraph:
“A sovereign, united, democratic Europe.” This is the vision French President Emmanuel Macron outlined in a landmark speech on September 26, at the Sorbonne in Paris. Calling for a more united and democratic EU is not new. However, for a leader from a major country to passionately assert that European integration reinforces national sovereignty, rather than diminish it, is refreshing.
"Refreshing?" I think that analyst spelled "stupid" wrong.
European integration--ever closer union--under the EU led from Brussels will create a multi-ethnic empire that crushes national sovereignty. How an analyst can claim the opposite is stunningly idiotic.
Remember, for states like Poland and Hungary, the EU's "ever closer union" means the member states must conform to the proto-imperial super state's ideology and culture.
The EU will pressure those still-sovereign states to submit and will, when it can, use its gathering power to order submission. Then, the proto-imperial order will be a full empire, and the gloves will come off.
Britain must get out of the EU while it can and other EU states like Poland must resist anything but a trade pact as the basis for the EU.
If they don't succeed, these new EU states will have just replaced their domination by the Russian empire (under Soviet guise) with a (for now) more gentle EU empire.
It was a dreadful error in the cause of freedom for the European Economic Community to become the European Union.
NOTE: I used an update about Macron's speech in an earlier post in this post, if it looks familiar.
