The EU-related structures in Brussels are about as united/fragmented as the US Congress, indeed.
But the national governments are nothing like US state governments. A lot more political fragmentation, plus they still consider themselves executives of sovereign nations with various vital interests and also historic resentments. Few Californian politicians will base their programs on suspicions towards New Mexico. In Poland, "don't kowtow to the Germans" is still a living idea and current PM Tusk is regularly accused of doing precisely that.

- nolok 1mo agoWhat is even your point in all those messages ? If we were to take all of your comments in this thread, and we all agree with no exception to them, it doesn't change anything to the conversation, it doesn't make any point, it does't provide anything interesting, you're just dead set on commenting in a loop that the sky is green Think about it, what are you saying that adds to a German company successfully launching into space from Norway ?

Inevitably it turns into the same tired discussions that either: A) Actually, it's not completely EU because it has x% of American parts B) America Bad Then, the one person who comes in to give a different opinion is met with your comment. I see it constantly.
