We-ell, I certainly hold a fair share of fundamental criticism with the way the EU is structured and run: its economic policies favor corporations, neo-liberal sellouts, the dismantling of workers' rights, and the industrialized meat industry - just to mention a few. Its political structures are barely democratic and ineffectual, and so on and so forth.I would love to see EU gone,
All of that said, I would not want to see the EU go *as a peace project*. Virtually all of us are too young to remember what a nationalist Europe dominated by hostilities between neighbours looked like, but a short look at history books reveals sufficiently that it was NOT a place where you wanted to be.
Also, I really enjoy being able to travel most of the continent without having to exchange currency or waiting for lengthy border checks.
That, I agree with. It's a ridiculous cold-war relic.Nato has no function to fill,
Yes to the first three, unfortunately no to the last one.And President Putin is cool, calm and collected,
and most certainly not intrested in running Europe.
Well, maybe not *running*, but there are other ways of making everyone his female dog.
Murdering former spies in other countries in *really* obvious ways and then letting every protest dissolve ineffectually is a quite obvious demonstration of dominance and power, for example.
