reminder that the world did not enjoy it the last time Europeans were super powerful

Power corrupts. No single country should be a global superpower

EU already absorbed Switzerland in this pic despite them not wanting it, so there's that.

The top US export is oil.

If you want to do something, wean yourself off oil. Big push for solar, wind, and anything else that doesn't rely on digging up bits of dinosaurs.

Electric vehicles, public transport, bikes, walking.

And as an added bonus, the world gets a little cleaner. Might be important, you know.

The almighty Nordic cock and balls

Why is the forsaken UK still on the map ?

Weird map. The non-Union Balkan states and Norway are cut out, but Switzerland is filled in.

Economically and culturally, Europe is already a superpower. Militarily it isn't, and maybe that's not a terrible thing. Politically, it just seems to have a bias for moving slowly and by consensus, although it responded quickly to COVID and the assault on Ukraine, so it can do what's needed?

We have too many traitors like Orban in the EU. The work against us.

Unite, but first, launch Orban into space, one-way-ticket kind-of way.

Get this, there's already a thing called the European Union - almost like we're already pretty united! :)

I don't really think further unification is the goal here.

Sadly a lot of MEPs are in cahoots with Russia and hell bent on destroying the EU.

Europa is too pure and regulated to be hegemony.

Do you think the US became a superpower by being kind and egalitarian and taking it slow? Nah, they came out the gate swinging, uppercut to Hiroshima and a roundhouse to Nagasaki, and it only got worse from there. They watched the old European powers withering under the weight of colonialism and insurrection in Indochina and southeast Asia and said "I'll have a piece of that".

You don't become Hegemon by standardizing power grids and phasing out coal. You become Hegemon by selling your soul to the MIC, spinning up black site torture rooms in countries most people don't even know the names of, funnelling guns and drugs to everyone who will take them, and bringing a fucking bandolier of hand grenades to every knife fight.

It's hard to get them to agree on anything let alone actually coordinate real world actions together. You are going to be waiting a long time.

I must say that I am prepared to die to defend Europe. It is maybe one of the last causes truly worth fighting for

If even quarter of people feel like me then we cannot be beat, we cannot be defeated. We will meet there on the Vistula river to stand against the darkness

It will only be after my cold dead body that the orcs will destroy this beautiful land. The mountains, the fields, the cities, rivers and forests, the peaceful, good people.
