"the European cause."

Plenty of Europeans, including me, disagree with you on the very existence of a "European cause".

"There's a reason the US became a single country and not loosely associated states."

I don't want federal EU, many others don't either. At least hold a referendum before running your fix. I suspect that most member countries would vote against being reduced to provinces of a centralized state.

You will be reduced to provinces of a centralized state anyways, seeing the CZ in your name. The only question is if the capital would be Brussels or Moscow.

We don't have the luxury of waiting for endless referenda. The enemy's at the gates.

    This sort of false dichotimes was peddled to us in the 1940s already. Choose Berlin or Moscow.

    Let us say that I don't consider your prophecy very accurate. Czechia, in some form, exists for about 1100 years. The EU probably won't match that record.

    As for the Russians, molon labe, and I wouldn't count on Brussels to help us efficiently in such situations, if they cannot even enforce law in local Arab neighbourhoods.

    Even today, the southwestern part of Europe is mostly obsessed with Gaza and I have to remind my Spanish and Italian colleagues that there is an actual shooting war on this very continent.
