As a Colombian guy living in Germany, I was a sock when I see the EU from inside the first time. You always hear stories about the EU and why they decided to create these Union among the founders and so on, but when I saw the border, the healthcare, the security and the enormous advantages that has the EU citizens over me, it makes really hard for me to understand how there are people who wants to eliminate the EU seeing all these Incomings only for being a EU citizen. I have lived my whole childhood in a war, I have seen what the war has made in my country and how the culture of my country has changed because of the narcotraffic. I have seen so many people without a job and opportunities that break my heart. It was damn hard for me to be in Germany, because of all the things that I need to do and to have in order to get a residence here and all of them worth the shot for live in the EU. I have known a lot of stories of Immigrants trying to get in the EU, for friends who struggle to find something to do in order to stay and so many more. I just hope that every EU citizens at least heard one of those stories before saying that the EU does not worth it, because there are so much people trying to get what you have gotten for granted.

The EU would protect/ameliorate the European countries in case of a economic war of sanctions that US has been keen of using against others that might overtake them. Even Germany cannot sustain an economic sanction/war with the US. And by the way, if the US sanctioning the EU seems a ridiculous idea, Germany has been threatened with sanctions. The US had sanctioned EU aluminum and steel. The EU is the best weapon for European security against any threat.

I think there are a lot of people who stand to benefit from the EUs disbanding, none of them being the people of European countries. The US would want the EU to disband to create better and more subservient clients. Russia would want the EU to disband to assert it's influence over Europe, especially former Soviet nations. China would want the EU to disband to reduce its global influence and to build state owned facilities in its land to extract tribute from it. There's nothing a superpower hates more than a group of small nations banding together to form a unified economic and military bloc.

As a resident of a country that was part of the Soviet, EU provides the people so much freedom that was unimaginable 50-30 years ago.

I am a Spanish living in Italy since 2013, before that I lived, studied and worked in France . My humble opinion is that Maybe one of the biggest problems we have as EU and this is just my opinion, is that we still need to create an EU identity. Think of the USA, they are 50 states but everyone (most of them) have that idea of a single state. Here if there is problem with Spain, is their problem, as a country. I hope that this new generation that will have their parents from different countries will help to open up and create that idea. As Jorge Drexler says: En este mundo tan separado No hay que ocultar de donde se es Pero todos somos de todos lados Hay que entenderlo de una buena vez.

the EU and USA are nothing alike. USA has been a federate country since its foundation, hell even before the independence it was united under the British rule. It has always been majority English speaking in every state and while there is cultural variation, it's comparable to that of Germany. The countries of EU, on the other hand, have been separate nations and countries for centuries in some cases and for millennia in others, speaking different languages, with thousands of years of history. Of course there is no national identity of Europe, even if possible it would take centuries to be formed.

I'm italian. For centuries Italy didn't exist as a country. Our hymn says: "We had been for centuries / Mistreated, mocked / Because we aren't a people / Because we are divided. But we existed for a long time as a nation. A book from 1300 tells a story about a merchant from Venice and another one from Genoa meeting in a foreign country. Genoa and Venice for a long time hated each other and so the people, but the book says that they were both happy "to see another italian". In the 1300. Why am I a european? Because when I will travel to another country, I will be happy to meet another european. Because that's my people.

I’m not from Europe but I think the EU is one of the most ingenious organizations in the world. The US is the most powerful country in the world because all states are unified under one government. You can’t be powerful and have global influence if you’re separate. Population and land are key factors in modern power dynamics and each European country individually lacks them.

By name, the states don’t have militaries but there are personnel stationed at each, so it’s not like the US states are completely defenseless.

In the future, there are gonna be tons of potential problems to solve. Hence, having a corporation like this will help us a lot. Logically, when we work in a group, we will try to help others; in contrast, when we work seperately, we will ignore others.

As my history teacher said there are two ways Europe and the rest of the world has achieved peace; coercion, or cooperation. Coercion is how Europe has been for thousands of years with various empires and kings and warlords fighting in an effort to outdo one another. Think of the Thirty-Years War, World War I and World War II were all about coercion. The EU has achieved something remarkable it has attained peace and prosperity through cooperation. By the nations working together instead of being absorbed into empires they have done something unattainable since the days of the Roman Empire which is maintaining continental hemogemony. The EU is not perfect and should be reformed instead of abandoned. Otherwise it's back to wars and coercion.

The question is, when did it start going wrong? The EU is always 'more Europe'. It had arguably succeeded it its goal back in the 70's/80's when the EU was known as the common market. Since then the EU introduced the single currency - a disaster. Free movement. Arguably a disaster. What will it mess up next on its road to ever closer union?

@gji486

@J J The majority of the modern problems within the EU stem from being within a transition period in terms of integration. A common currency without common economic and taxation policies is unstable and vulnerable - but the solution is MORE europe, not less. Massive immigration movements into a region that is wealthy AND CAN HANDLE EVEN MORE THAN THEY'RE LETTING IN, is good, but being unable to coerce states into fulfilling their obligations means that there will be a mismatch between who is let in and how able they are to get where they need to go. The solution is common policy, not less migration - climate too is going to make migration even more powerful than before. When you have a place worth living people are going to want to live there and you just have to find a way to deal with it rather than punching your head into a wall. More EU, not less. Finally, in terms of Defense, there are real challenges integrating national armies into a meta-national EU army - but they would all be solved by common regulation. Most citizens of the EU are already multi-lingual to the extent that the challenges of the Austro-Hungarian empire are a thing of the past, and the manpower pool of the EU would be deep enough that you can just mandate that everyone speaks a common language without losing any meaningful fighting power - more EU, not less. In addition, standards for ammunition and equipment being vastly different is a super easy solution - if you change what you purchase then you change what gets made. If the EU army was the primary purchasing military force in europe the supply would VERY rapidly change. More EU solves the problem. Less EU just makes the old problems come back. The EU has been integrating far too slowly during a very important transition period, extending the negatives and putting off the benefits. If it were to integrate further the vast majority of the problems would fade away and the benefits would become much more real.

The problem is mainly integration , many refugees keep their religion ( which is fine ) and become radical about their religion ( look at France ) . The other problem is that if they keep their ideals and standards , the civilisation becomes flooded with new values and norms which makes a civilisation unstable because everyone is different from eachother and won’t come to compromise . This is the Anomy theory , because the civilisation grows to fast , people become disconnected from eachother leading to a hard time for democracy to work

Yeah, doesn’t make me optimistic. Everyone is in conflict. My perspective from the U.K: people are so heavily divided on left wing and right wing politics, labour voters absolutely despise conservatives and there’s almost an instant hatred in some cases. Then on a bigger scale England is in conflict with Scotland, where there’s constant argument and talks of splitting up. Then of course you have all the conflict in the EU which seems to be falling apart at the seems. Globally we can’t even establish effective policy to literally preserve our species and where we live, it’s like people care more about their opinion and having it their way rather than working together. I just don’t understand.

@Arcaryon

@@NormanWasHere452 I think the situation is less dire than you think. Sure, there is conflict but in times of change, battles ( rhetorical or otherwise ) are natural. The EU in particular is a fairly young institution that is still moving relatively fast considering how difficult negotiations tend to be. Change is usually very slow when it comes to politics. In regards to the survival of our species - even if a 4 billion people were to die in rapid succession in the next 100 years, there would still be more than enough for the rest. Technological advancements will also fix a lot of issues and if things get too dire, 2 child policies will prevent an implosion. Europe is creating a new form of state that in and of itself is revolutionary as a political construct. We use diplomacy instead of firepower or economical threats. That's a less flashy way of doing things but as far as I can see it, we have had 70 years of peace, are wealthier than ever before and still moving forward. The press has a way of spelling out doom that can make things seem worse than they actually are and it is not bad that they do this ( most of the time ) for fear and anger in the right doses make the people want to work for the things they believe in and get things done. Giving up when we are pretty much third place in the global superpower ranking would seem like a very unwise decision.

In terms of press I'm typically very aware of that, I study geography and economics in school and read about it in my free time so I'd like to think I'm at least slightly above average when it comes to those sorts of things.

It technically happened. I mean it wasn't them fighting each other but actually fighting inter-dimensional giant monsters from under the sea! Pacific Rim, for those who don't get the reference.

I'm swiss, so not in the eu, but we greatly profit from the peace in the eu. I think one peoblem the eu has, is thinking very different economies could all have the same currency. Of course it is way more convenient when travelling, but it seems to produce a lot of instability

As a fellow swiss I agree, but I think further financial and economical integration is the solution rather than abandoning the Euro, a strong and globally releveant currency.

Jeroen Bollen Lies by omission. They didn't address the huge problems of sovereignity of states and the undemocratic nature of EU Commission, which is the only actor in the EU able to propose new laws but what is not elected by the Demos of Europe. Also stating that EU is nothing but good for the economy while omitting the fact that overbearing regulations actually pulls down small-time entreprenuers who have to bend to the regulations just like the big multinationals.

It's the lack of democracy within the European Union that makes it impossible to support for me. I love the idea of freedom of movement,trade and decent central standards for workers rights/safety etc but the system under which the EU operates is intrinsically flawed, and there seems to be no intention to improve this. I remember reading Gorbachovs autobiography and his explanation of how the soviet political system worked to deny the general public any say in the policies it pursued, and the EU is organised pretty much exactly like the old USSR (sounds a little melodramatic, but read Gorbachov, he explains it a lot better than i ever could). I really hoped Britain threatening to leave would lead to some sort of reform of the parliament and how the powers are distributed and regulated, but unfortunately not, and i just can't see the EU ever reforming without some total collapse that forces them to.

This is like, half the reason im moving to the EU sometime when i can. and learning german

Honestly, 2017 when this was released was just a year after the Brexit vote, and the hight of the catastrophically handled migrant crisis was still on everyone’s fresh memory, and different exiteers were popping up everywhere, than the times in Europe were turbulent indeed. Now, despite Covid, exiteering isn’t that much of a popular thing anymore, with even Le Pen abandoning the Frexit idea and Salvini currently taking part in a strongly pro-European government. I think the fact, that even though the Comission completly screwed up the vaccine distribution, only two countries so far have purchased EU unapproved vaccines (and Slovakia’s government has almost fallen apart because of it and they never even properly used the vaccine), is absolutely incredible and would be unthinkable not that long ago. So its not so grim in this direction.
