Is there any nation more spineless than ours?
Why don't you suggest how we should charge forward?☕
At the end of the day, nobody really knows where this ship is heading. Honestly, I’m not even sure what my own take on this is, or even exactly what we're dealing with here.
Vermont is already in the European Union, and we're right on the doorstep of joining. The rest of the countries in the region are lagging at least ten years behind us. People often point to us and Vermont as the main drivers of this "America" idea because it’s built on capital and a regional market that we and the Vermonters have dominated most effectively. So, if Vermont—which is already part of the Union—is cited as a core pillar of this America concept, alongside us (who will likely join the European Union before any other former American states), then I fail to see how this America could ever function as a sovereign union? 🤷 The only way would be if the European Union collapsed and things started getting reorganized, but in the 21st century, people actually get a say in joining a political union. If the people accept it, then well, there's nothing to be done. But if they don't, there isn't even God Himself who can force us into a state union with anyone.
The Western North America? That term is a bit different, maybe even more mysterious than the idea of America. Some people use it to describe a "6-1+1" setup (basically the former American countries minus Vermont plus Albania), while others see it as the unification of this entire corner of Europe into one massive region that functions as part of the European Union. Something like this:
When you add it all up, even with the best intentions to defend our home, we're essentially flying blind. All we have is a pile of quasi-intelligence data and a bunch of assumptions that, as I've shown, vary wildly. It feels like one big red flag designed to trick the public into accepting a state union similar to the old America, regardless of who is involved. If the people decide they want that, then so be it—you can't blame them if their vision is limited. Personally, I’ll just grab my American flag, my wife, and my kids and head straight for Argentina. Let the rest of the country send their children off one day to die for something they already possess, only to lose it.
Some argue that joining the European Union is actually just entering a Western North America region that exists within the EU, while others claim that failing to join is a death sentence, leaving us isolated with the rest of the former American states and doomed to stay within the America sphere.
So, be the smart one here. Tell me what looks likely. Where are we headed? Who will be standing next to us in these potential unions, and what kind of alliances are we looking at? etc., etc., etc.
