BBC News - EU and US: President roles compared
Look at this EU/ US comparison.
European Union:
Population: 490 million
GDP: $18.7tn
United States:
Population: 304 million
GDP: $14.9tn
If the EU really does have the intention of creating a federated European Republic, do you think the current developments which are carrying the EU into that direction actually threaten the US's position as a global superpower and world dominator?
Could such a large power, with any future European military combination which will surely outweigh any American force, be a threat to the Americans, and signal major deteriorations in relations regarding Europe's increasing power and maybe some trade conflicts to add to the mixture? It is afterall, at America's door.
Maybe this is the beginning of the end of US dominance in the West.
I personally dont believe the EU will ever federate; you cant do such a thing against the will of the people by fooling Europeans with elitist tactics.
But HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, what's your views from a rational perspective?
Would a federated Europe threaten America?
