if italy gets into trouble the EU will just force its members to give up more sovereignity so it can deal with the issue. they will go along because only the EU would be strong enough. which is very bad for the populist nationalist exiteers who have been causing so much trouble lately.
- Shivetya 10y agowell therein lies the problem. they knew they could never sell that to the public so they created a union which explicitly allowed member nations a great deal of autonomy. Part of the BRexit and possible exits of the French and Dutch is because the politicians in Brussels are trying to end run that agreement and impose it. America had one super super advantage, it started out by rebelling against one nation and winning. Then the second advantage Europe never had made it easier to stick together, it has a common language. It also does not have hundreds of years of brutal wars between member states that Europe has experienced and experienced within just a few generations. So unless they really can convince countries to cede the majority of their sovereignty and go to the routes of states in the US there will always be strife and situations like this. I will say, the current restrictions and such they do have run contrary to allowing for any individual nation getting out of trouble without a lot help
