It's a pipe dream: they're weak (no army) and disunited (as COVID response showed).

  >disunited (as COVID response showed). not sure I understand the logic here but Europe, despite having twice the population of the US, has about as many deaths. The region overall has responded well.

    No unified response, every country had to fend for itself.

      Not sure what unified response would change. It's not diplomacy.

        I believe their point was that the response proved disunity exists, not any value judgement on whether disunity is a good or effective thing in itself.

    The US is not the bar you want to compare with here. The response was essentially “let each of the 50 states decide what to do”.
