because it's not that integrated yet

It's not, it's a post racial human society where racism is heavily punished.

you can't compare or try to make EU like US.
US is homogeneous enough to unite people under one federal state while EU cunts are only homogeneous within their own cunts

sum of its parts

>Why is it so weak and ineffective?
Because Trump is blasting the EU right now.
Based Trump. He gives tax breaks to billionaires and doesnt afraid of anything

Because it's made up of countries with no reason to be loyal to one another. Also no sane prime minister is going to allow some Brussels bureaucrat to give orders to him.
They certainly will try but they won't succeed

Small budget
Around 1% of the total economy, around 2% of the combined national budgets
Keep in mind a national budget is usually around 35-40% of the country’s economy

Based

This goes hand in hand what I posted here about
>he doesn't know after every crisis that occurs (financial crisis, immigration, ...), the EU grows stronger since MS agree that it's better to cooperate hence why they give the EU more competence

After this crisis, we may see a new set of exclusive competences instead of supplementary competences
Yes I am sometimes shocked too. Many people take these benefits for granted, because they cant imagine how things were in the past.

>sign international agreement
>refuse to honor the provisions of said agreement
Yeah, kangaroo court. Shut the fuck up. When they gave you money you loved them.

because it had a shit economic model?

The russian bot is afraid of EU.

EU? More like eat poo amirite

is that supposed to be an insult?
sounds pretty based to me

You realize that it's deciding against you guys violating agreements which you have signed under international law and latter affirmed during votes in the European Council? Are you guys banana republics now? I swear the Eastern enlargement was to early and mistake. You guys haven't yet learned what it means to live in a democracy.

>It was never designed as such, even though Eurocrats

Well, that's another thing you haven't learned in civics then haha because that's wrong.

>Why is it so weak and ineffective?

It is so by design. Stupid people think the EU is a wouldbe communist dystopia just waiting to be unleashed.

It's actually a neoliberal wet dream, a big ass market whose political body exists solely to harmonize the smaller national markets. Economical intervention is big nono, per rules the BCE shouldn't be even buying bonds as they're doing right now

Letting in eastern Euro states to own the Russians was a shortsighted move that will permanently handicap the EU

No
We never signed that rapefugees from border countries are going to be moved here
>later affirmed
Voted against and I distinctly remember some shenanigans where the veto powers couldn't have been used

>tax breaks to billionaires
I've never understood this cope. He gave tax breaks to everyone. Good luck getting people mad about lower taxes.

>EU started in 1983
>10 members were the original founders

m8 pls.

It's a step-by-step process, that's my point. It was never designed as a political union, it's just that such a thing is the wet dream of many Eurocrats.

>tfw we'll never go back to having 6 members and being an economical union only

You are going to get the full spiel of it-was-always-political now

Single market is OK.

We never should have went with a joint currency though, especially not with all these de-facto bankrupt states & failed economies in our midst..

>PLS GO FEDERAL WITH US, PLS

Fuck off. It's not happening.. Go unify with Greece and Italy or something m8.

Yes, because these memes are as old as the union itself.

Doesn't make it true though...

>27 countries
>21 languages
>can’t agree on daylight savings time
>now stealing each other’s medical supplies as well as professionals
It is over.

Hey, I'm on your side, the whole thing is a wet dream of european has-beens like Germany and France who are buttmad they've been replaced on the world scale by countries they used to bully.

the EU started in 1993 when the Maastricht treaty came into effect, one decade after this declaration of an "ever closer union" was signed.

Honestly? I love the english language.
I'm really happy that the common EU language didn't turn out to be Spanish, German, or god forbid French.

Just not the French.

unironically i'd never respect people who learn french

The EU was formed on the basis of the European union.. The Maastricht treaty was like the 94rd step towards this meme of a federation that was never intented. Ask yourself why they're taking these baby steps if the actual intention was always a federal state.

It wasn't. They're just trying to meme us into it.. Bonus points if they mention the 'UNPRECEDENTED PERIOD OF PEACE' that the EU allegedly brought us even though, as you said, the current EU treaty was only enacted in '93.

It's a scam.

economic integration and cooperation on other levels undoubtedly does promote peace, you're a retard if you think otherwise

>European union
*communities

Kek. Shouldn't get high before discussing memes.

>Why
Because at the end of the day it is just a trade group and that's all

We're being memed, Fritz. Let it go.

>Because at the end of the day it is just a trade group and that's all

That's what it should have been. We should have stuck with the European Community, and even that shouldn't have had 6 members if you ask me..

not an argument. If the economies of countries are heavily intertwined like it is the case in the EU, it's much harder and much less likely to start a conflict because you develop common interests and would lose too much by cutting ties and attacking your neighbor.

Yes, move to Germany and work there bro, Gretchen and her fat milkers are waitting 4 u too ....

It's because we don't have European parties for the most part, as most discussions are not really on a continental level. A good chunk of politics
in actual countries happen in informal meetings.
Brexit and the Corona-crisis are actually the start of true European politics.

>not an argument.
The sad truth, is what it is.
>If the economies of countries are heavily intertwined like it is the case in the EU, it's much harder and much less likely to start a conflict because you develop common interests and would lose too much by cutting ties and attacking your neighbor.

Yes. But that could also have been arranged by France and Germany just unifying, and leaving the rest of Europe out of your insanity... The idea that we need a 28 (now/soon 27) Member State union seated in Brussels (and a little bit of Strasbourg, because as I mentioned this whole thing is mostly about France and Germany and their retarded memes) is ludicrous.. The whole reason we're stuck with this shitty euro is because France was too afraid of the D-mark. I'll never forgive that cunt Zalm for dragging us along in that..

she'd get it

t. keeps begging to join it

>and leaving the rest of Europe out of your insanity
nobody was forced to join

Are you all still mad at us, or is the looming promise of free money settling down emotions a bit?

You assume that countries don't want war.

I wish they'd let us default in peace

Von der Leyen's letter to Repubblica seems to have calmed us a bit.

Lmao this
It's always that one macedonian posting about the eu and jumping between
>we want in

>It was never designed as such
that was the ultiment plan the final solution to end european civil conflict
how new are you

It wouldn't work if it was just Germany and France. Germans outnumber the French and the French would think they should decide everything because they "won" WW2. Also, if by some miracle it would end up in a "civil" war, it wouldn' take long before the Germans and French started bullying everyone around them because both of them are prone to tyranny.

imagine you had 27 wives and they try to decide what to have for dinner

you don't want to war the country that has produced the qt you have fugged during Erasmus

Interstate bickering and pushback from boomers.

is hungary part of the EU?

yes

Yeah but the eurocrats are mad at Orbán because he keeps winning elections and is decidedly anti-woke

and then the husband (germany) bitch smacks all of them with fiscal leverage and decides for them.

seriously why cant we just end daylight saving time? i dont wannna be at 10 pm and its still bright out side

Ironic how?

Krauts can't do that indefinitely. They managed to bail out Greece because there are not even 11 million Greeks. But if Italy or Spain go down, not even the Germans can bail them out.

We'd love to but we lack the clout, which is why I find Yas Forumstard accusations that "omg germany rules the EU" so retarded.

Because we all hate each other and we are all xenophobic

How dare you speak a language that everyone will understand
EU should use Uzbek instead
