Realism and Idealism in the Federalist Bubble
We European Federalists are being often accused of extreme “idealism” and naïveté by those who criticize us.
That’s ironic though. Think about it, it’s the reality of the world that makes a united Europe necessary:
1) Mass immigration is a Europe-wide phenomenon that would be best addressed by a common response. Refugees and migrants are coming on the shores of all Southern member states, not just Italy or Malta. That’s Europe’s Southern border.
2) A study showed how a European Army could let member states save money on defense spending, thanks to the economy of scale. We need it in these insecure times.
3) With the main world powers having almost no respect for human rights (China) or with expansionist ambitions (Russia) or an unpredictable president (USA), we need to show that a valid, peaceful alternative is possible.
Naive idealism is that of those who want to scale back to petty nations and closed borders: the world is changing, you are falling behind.
Really, Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk, what other evidence do we need?
My relatives always say that I am wasting my time here at net, however I know I am
getting know-how daily by reading such good posts.
It’s awesome in favor of me to have a site, which is valuable in support of my know-how. thanks admin
Thank you for sharing your info. I truly appreciate your efforts and I will be waiting for your further post thank you once again.
First of all I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Cheers!
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
I constantly emailed this blog post page to all my associates, as if like to read it then my friends will too.
Hi! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I genuinely enjoy reading through your posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same topics? Many thanks!|
Finally i found the best blog with the information needed by me.I’ll be waiting for new post.
Aw, this was a really nice post. Taking the time and actual
effort to generate a very good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don’t manage to get
nearly anything done.
I relish, lead to I discovered just what I used to be taking a look for.
You have ended my 4 day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day.
Bye
