Yeah well....Interpol just elected a criminal to lead....a "fox in the henhouse" so to speak.....
....As if to prove the thesis of Applebaum's article, on Nov. 25, 2021 the International Police Criminal Organization, popularly known as INTERPOL, elected Emirati Ministry of the Interior (MOI) General Ahmed Naser al-Raisi as its new president. The media has widely reported General al-Raisi's involvement in human rights abuses and the UAE's role in past exploitation of INTERPOL.....
inkstickmedia.com/the-fox-guarding-the-henhouse/
Building up a real functional Europol would be a worthwile achievement in the light of this!
The main problem for all these common institutions as I see it is the babylonic language chaos in Europe I fear....a problem I don't have a clear cut answer for yet.
I would go with english ffs....as would most Germans....even as german is after english the most widely spoken language now that the Brits are out (36%), but the French are stuck on french (29%) and so are others with theirs like italian (18%)....or spanish (17%)....but a real USofE need besides a common territory, joint borders and shared institutions at least one main language EVERYBODY uses, at least officially!

A common currency.....free trade in the biggest common market in the world....free moving across the continent for goods and people....funds for the weaker regions...common institutions...
That's what super duper Empires of the past tried to achieve....the EU did it, peacefully....for nearly 80 years now!
You've got to be kidding me, either you don't know sh't about the EU, it's advantages and it's disadvantages....or you are just willfully ignorant, and that is never a good advisor to make correct judgements and informed opinions!
Alot of these problems are still part of the souvereignity of each member state....without giving up more of these national rights up to the EU there is no way the EU can do something about it, she just has not the necessary rights and allowances.
It's a long way to go about it, some members will walk the whole nine yard....some will not!

That belorussian scheme trying to blackmail the EU with refugees is a good example, it only will lead to something which had been taboo till now, a "Festung Europa"!
But every "United States" needs that, it's practically a basic requirement....a clearly defined common territory with jointly secured and defended borders!
however the EU may well emerge stronger.

It is the strongest super state we did ever build....
The other alliances were only build to hold the "others" in check, and we both know how that always ended...those "nice" times had been short lived breaks, always gearing up for the next big catastrophe.
As the USofA had been disunified and quarreling once in their history that too led there to war and utter destruction. Only a Union can and did put an end to that!
A Europe without the EU, with all its countries members, will soon also again lead to a sad and bad repetition of well known history....it would be futile to believe otherwise.
A country isn't only developing when it's population grows....or otherwise african or arabic sh*itholes would be far above us by now.

Without the EU it HAD BEEN EATEN by its neighbours....countless times....but now they are all members of the EU...as equals with equal voting rights!
....After the Eighty Years' War, Luxembourg became a part of the Southern Netherlands, which passed to the Austrian line of the Habsburg dynasty in 1713.....
.....
....After occupation by Revolutionary France, the 1815 Treaty of Paris transformed Luxembourg into a Grand Duchy.....
....
...in the following decades, Luxembourg fell further into Germany's sphere of influence, particularly after the creation of a separate ruling house in 1890. It was occupied by Germany from 1914 until 1918 and again from 1940 until 1944.....
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Luxembourg
And now that:
...Since the end of the Second World War, Luxembourg has become one of the world's richest countries, buoyed by a booming financial services sector, political stability, and European integration. ....
That was a bad example for your position, Gruni! :)
Actually all tinies and weaker countries will never have it so good as with the EU....especially those who fear a dominant Germany....without the EU you wouldn't be equals anymore, with the same voting rights, sitting at the same tables...adhering to the same treaties!
Ask Luxembourg! ;)
Where should they do that? There is hardly any barren land in Europe...some would even say it's overpopulated.....maybe if we put more ressources into space exploration...the search for a new Earth to colonize....new ressources and developing of new technologies....also something that we Europeans TOGETHER could do alot better than every country alone for itself....logical, right?
