Whether it's a federal system or something else, EU countries need to start working a lot closer together in the face of the threats from the US, China and to a less degree, Russia.
Eurosceptics have been doing a lot of damage to European interest and it's interesting to see who backs the Eurosceptic movements, both Trump and Putin are big backers of the Eurosceptic movement in Europe, many of the smaller elements like Farage pretty much lick the boots of Trump and Putin, it's not hard to see what there agenda is, they want a divided Europe because a divided Europe is a weaker Europe that they can control, Eurosceptics are pretty much a puppet that are being taken advantage off and they don't even realise it.
Seriously, we in the EU countries need to get our act together and fast as time is running out, threats are all around us that will harm our quality of living and could potentially dismantle our social safety net, I mean, does it not seem strange to people that the people that are over the moon about Brexit are people like Trump and Putin?, they know full well that without the EU, EU countries are easy pickings and that's a threat to all EU countries and many around the world that don't want a system that the US or China are offering.
As for the US, people need to wake up and see the US for what they are, they've been changing as a nation since 9/11 and not in a good way and it wouldn't surprise me if the US could potentially become a dictatorship over the next few decades with the path they are heading on, if that happens without a strong united EU then that's going to be a major problem for the world because the EU is the only power that's big enough and enlighten enough to want to do the right thing for the world, the US is quickly turning to the dark side, China and Russia are an alternative that most people don't want, that leaves the EU as the only major power, but under the current system, it's not strong enough, the EU countries need to get closer together and fast if we want to protect our interest as too much time has been wasted already.
On the plus side, Trump might actually wake up a lot of countries and people around the world to see the US isn't as friendly as they thought, a wake-up call that's long overdue, and I'm not saying we shouldn't try to be friendly with the US, but with the likes of Trump and how aggressive the population is getting, it's wise for countries around the world to look for alternatives, the EU is a very good candidate for that if we in the EU got our act together.
