> Are you saying "the ends justify the means" of this "closer integration"? With that logic, Hitler's end goal was also closer integration of Europe's countries once he conquered them all.
I am saying a closer union was what was agreed upon.
> Impossible to leave now when you joined 20+ years ago, when the EU was something completely different, which now grew beyond what you signed up for, without fucking your economy. It's called a rug pull with a dead man's switch. Try to leave and we make sure we all blow up.
The UK left 47 years after joining, it would be better off if they stayed in, but it has not been the end of the world. Also if your countrymen are pro further EU integration and you are against it, you can just leave.
> Why is Cuba a bigger issue for Ursula than what's happening in the EU? LAst time I checked Cuba is on a different continent and an insignificant trading partner of the EU.
Because god knows what is going to happen to American liquefied gas exports to the EU if they are fighting a war in the Caribbean.
>I am saying a closer union was what was agreed upon.
Again, that vague argument does not disprove my argument.
Does the end justify the means? Yes, or no? If yes, then what's the point of democracy and free will, if no, what's the point of the EU forcing its will on everyone?
>Also if your countrymen are pro further EU integration
What does "further EU integration" even mean? Being an even bigger bitch to clueless out of touch unelected bureaucrats in Brussels to deiced things in countries they can't find on the map, whose language they don't speak, whose economy and culture they don't understand?
