@ yes
I'm confusing nothing.
The European Union IS united - you only have to look at how the 26 backed Ireland in relation to the border to see it.
Brexiters expected the EU to throw Ireland under a bus because it was small and it was assumed that the Germans would hold it in the same contempt as the Brexiters did; they expected an EU squabble about concessions to the UK in order to give it a 'cake and eat it' deal; if all else failed, the cavalry in the shape of Audi, Mercedes and BMW would ride into the fray at the 11th hour...
The EU has never flinched.
You describe Brexit as a type of 'crusade' to save Europe from itself - it is nothing of the sort.
It the self-serving agenda of an elite cabal in your country that are intent on gambling with your future in order to expand their personal wealth. These people are gamblers by profession, they are Brexit proof, and if/when it falls flat on its face, Brexit will simply be added to list of England's heroic failures which includes Dunkirk, The Charge of the Light Brigade, Scott in the Antarctic, the Franklin expedition etc.
Your explanation of Europe is full of age old English tropes about Europe: England v Europe, Protestantism v Catholicism, Freedom v Tyranny etc. You stopped short of the usual conclusion, working your list of through to Napoleon and Hitler
Nothing to see here.

@ Hercule Holmes
You did not give up your empire voluntarily, as you claim. The Atlantic Charter, dictated by the Americans and signed by Churchill gave the commitment allowing self-determination for all peoples.
This is an American value, not a British one.
The English are fine with the subjugation of others as part of the Empire - apparently it was the nicest empire in human history - they only claim to value democracy and freedom when they imagine they are being oppressed themselves.
Incoherent buffonery.
You better get used to the idea of the UK going bankrupt: post Brexit, the UK will have higher inflation, less purchasing power, a weaker pound. The UK has a huge set of imbalances, huge trade deficits, huge budget deficits, people are living way above their savings and they have to pay it back too much consumer borrowing – the household budget is getting worse, the trade deficit is getting worse, their borrowing is getting worse, at a time when they are leaving their biggest market with its economies of scale; inflation will mean it will be harder to pay it back.
Project fear? Project reality that is pending...
