    Maybe more European co-operation would be good. The world right now consists of powerful nations (USA, China, Russia, and India in the future). Those nations will probably try to push everybody else around (in fact they’re already doing this). If Europe works together then it might be able to stand up for itself better.

      You don’t need the USE for cooperation to exist.

        It could help. I think it’s perfectly understandable why some people want a United States of Europe. Look at the Ukraine conflict. Ukraine has suffered a huge amount because even though their military is incredibly capable, it doesn’t have the same scale of resources that Russia has. If a common European defence organisation had already been in place before 2014, with Ukraine included, then maybe Putin would have been deterred from invading.
