European elites understand that without a single government they cannot create a military, political and trade power and exit American dependence.

They apparently haven’t figured out the alternative, by continuing the western tradition, of breaking america into small regional states, so that they can exit american influence. Nor that it will take the combined population and economies of europe, north america and austrialia to maintain any semblance of control over the terms of trade .

The solution is instead, to reduce america to a set of european states, so that we return to our historical relatoinship of competing states that must cooperate for shared defense using professional warriors.
