Of all the things the EU does, unified international policy makes the most sense to me - only way to avoid getting picked off one by one.
It's the attempt at unifying countries internal policies that I don't see the point of.
- mantas 6y agoIt would make sense, but different countries have way too different historical experience, cultural ties and business interests. Hottest examples - Russia/Belarus/Ukraine, Greece/Turkey, Nordstream, the whole migrants-in-Mediteranean thing and so on.
- bkor 6y agoDifferences in culture are addressed by endless amount talking, compromises, etc. Previously Europe often resorted to war. I highly prefer the current attempt at trying to keep peace. Promoting peace is listed as a goal on https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/eu-in-brief_en https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/eu-in-brief_en
