King Europe 13 5, 8:48am

EU GDP 18514>>>does not include several countries.
EU is barely a ill arranged confederation, with tonnes of overlapping projects, and military capacities, with very small mobility of manpower, and small capital investement between nation states, among other problems.

USA GDP 17419, a Federation with the contrary situation of what was expressed above.

And........

USA "true" national debt 70 trillion to 280 trillion (bankrupcy in the 70´s forgiven (cold war) by Western Europe and Japan)

EU public debt 12 trillion (US credit agencies eager to talk about this)

Still today many USA vehicles, and weapons, etc are developed by europeans, not to wonder that about 1/2 of the american scientist community is foreign, and 1/3 of all their Nobel prizes were in fact won by europeans.

If Europe was a Federation, USA would be left miles away, in nearly every aspect, in military matters, Europe would not pull a big gun, it would pull something like a repeating missile launcher, XD
