      So let each country be powerful enough to rule themselves. I don’t see the net benefit of having a single global “ruler.”

        No one ever said there’s a net benefit. It’s just what ends up happening one way or another. Achieving a perfect balance of power between every nation on the earth has never happened in history.

            Someone will take that mantle. Someone always does. And, that being the case, it should be the E.U.

            I’d love to live in the fantasy world where every country just minded its own business and left each other alone and we all just frolicked in fields of daisies…

            But go and try to explain how that needs to happen to Putin, Xi, and Trump and see how far you get.
