Wherever honest elections are eliminated this is inevitably the outcome - Stalin, Saddam, Joe Bitem. Contrary: Argentina, Javier Milei, United States, Donald Trump. Sometimes I begin to think that we have lost the capability of governing ourselves, then I think of the alternative.
The EU is doomed... especially if they get their war.
In a way, I agree with you. In another, not so much.
When one considers Germany, we rarely think that the government is actually a post-WWII constitution, and relatively new in the historical lens. As are Israel, France ( remember the Vichy? ) and many other nations. These examples make our blessings all the more remarkable, as our venerable 250 years.
The EU -- as in the post-Maastricht treaty group which has morphed into the mess it is today -- isn't even an actual government over a sovereign territory. It is a fiction, propped up by quasi-internationalist support.
I guarantee that young Germans we knew never knew the names Herman Van Rompuy or Altiero Spinelli. The EU -- as a fictional layer of government being held aloft by political hot air -- and its pompous European Commission will join the tales of governments which simply failed and went away. Watch and see.
