European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is a man of compromise, often to the detriment of the vision he espouses. But in his State of the European Union speech on Wednesday, he delivered an uncompromising call for a tighter, federalist EU which goes against the intentions of the bloc's two most powerful national leaders, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron. They may resent being dared in such a way.
Luckily, the man has no army to command and is unlikely to get one any time soon.
The European Union, building a multi-ethnic autocratic imperial state, one onerous cheese regulation at a time.
But you already know my opinion of the European Union, right?
