The EU has expanded to incorporate many more countries but is a much smaller fraction of the world's economy than it was in the 70s. Europe is the world's slowest growing region so this will continue.

Youre only counting the core, not the periphery we bound to us through deals I mentioned.

Korea, Canada, Latin America, India. They're all bound to us. Europe is just the imperial capital of the largest economic region in the world.

  • You seriously think that those countries are bound to Europe? That Europe is their imperial capital? Anyone from those countries here who feels that Europe is their imperial capital?

    Those countries also have trade deals with each other, and with other trading blocks. The EU us not the top trading partners for any one of them, and, because its low growth, is becoming increasingly less important to all of them.

    People seriously think this but it was people voting for Brexit that were suppose remainers claimed hankering for empire.

    This sort of claim is pure wishful thinking, and only strengthens my belief that Europeans are in denial.
