È tempo di estendere l’UE fino a trasformarla in un’Unione democratica, militare ed economica, che includa Canada, Giappone e Australia

And Uk obvs
Yes. It shouldn’t be based on geography but values.
EU but make it Avengers maple shields, anime diplomacy, kangaroo cavalry.
We’d be potentially dragged into a war with China if its extended to Japan.
Super Democracy.
Super Liberty.
Super Earth.
What a way to water down the Union. Yet again, the English don’t understand the EU.
Knowing Aussies and Canadians, they will never allow for unrestricted freedom of movement, they have way too much to loose from those deals.
That’s stupid.
And a EU army!
Japan allowing unrestricted migration and near-citizen rights to hundreds of millions of people from the other side of the world? That’s just lol
Yes, have at it!
More than one organization can exist at the same time. Why not just have the EU make deals with these nations instead? We’re already having enough trouble getting everyone on the same page and pursuing closer integration without spreading the concept even thinner.
fuck no
Can’t even unite France and Germany over the most basic shit but this is going to happen LOL
Japan and Australia both value sovereignty highly for good a reason, so this will happen in a million years.
Ehhhh.
As an Australian, I love the EU, you guys are great.
But I mean, CANZUK isn’t going to work because to geography and industries. I really don’t think this will.
I mean, I don’t think, should China decide to actually start throwing its military weight around in a hot way, that the EU is really going to be sending ships, jets and troops to the Pacific.
I don’t think the EU wants to take on that sort of commitment. Maybe the attitude is different in the EU and I am wrong about that.
But I dunno, I just don’t see the EU wanting to be involved in this side of the world too much.
A bit of a eurocentric perspective. What’s in it for Japan in particular? We aren’t going to protect them like the US does. While we have a path towards sovereignty without the US, Japan does not. And Canada and Australia can’t afford to go all in on the EU either. They can become our partners in certain areas, but they will always have to hedge and build relationships with other blocks as well
Even closer European integration is a challenge. Wouldn’t it be way wiser to focus on that before ambitiously incorporating countries at the other side of the earth, with very different geopolitical interests, even if ideologically similar? A union such as this would definitely be cool, but not at all realistic or pragmatic
Why japan? Dont they have the death penalty?
At the current rate that will take like 10 years more…
This is a dumb ass idea. Increased cooperation and alliances, sure. EU membership? Idiotic.
The EU doesn’t have the capability to defend these other countries at this time, so it would be strange to have security guarantees for them against US/China
The issue is the our right-wing movements. In germany is tie with CDU, in UK the Reform leads and with the stupid FPTP system they may obtain the absolute majority in the HoC. In France, same.
Hell no, already too much problems with EU. Less is more. Alliances yes, union no!
DU doesn’t have quite the same ring to it. Can’t we just expand the definition of what constitutes Europe until it compasses the free world?
Japan??? Lmaoooo
Japan (like South Korea) is a complete American lapdog, they’ll always choose america over Europe. Japan can rearm only because the US is turning a blind eye to it
Why? Why make it an economic union where Canadian and Australian tax money go to unelected bueracrats in Brussels they have never heard of? This sounds like colonialism where colonies send money to the empire! Surely military alliance is enough
We (Canada) actually share a border with Denmark and France.
You can make trade deals and defence allies without becoming a union.
I always thought NATO should be expanded to include all the free democracies of the world. It’s charter won’t allow that though so it was always going to be something else.
I always assumed America was going to be the nation to bring those nations together. Never thought it’d be in opposition to America. Sorry from an American.
I do think a federal Europe and a broader confederation of the free world could be a good combination. I think sacrificing the ambition of a European great power for a broader scope would be a bad idea though. At least I do not see us immediately signing the constitution of some non-geographical federation of the free world with a real foreign policy, military power, etc.
There is 0 chance Japan would enter into EU with the 4 freedoms.
We’re just in the prequel comic to an RTS game, aren’t we.
And the UK please, probably Iceland, South Korea and New Zealand too.
This sub is delusional if it thinks Japan is going to pick the EU over the US
Biden already tried to do this. Macron freaked the fuck out at a symbolic NATO office in Japan. Also macrons constant sucking up to China is not going to bring Asian Allie’s on board. What did he say last year in China? Asian problems are not European problems. lol. Good luck getting Asian partners to join you in any meaningful way.
Something something Global Defense Initiative
Do it please, or we are all on the menu.
I like how in the picture North America becomes Poland
I have a feeling there will be a lot of opportunities to be had as capital will shift away from US. But it is also likely that there will be some significant pain associated with this shift.
Please. No “Democratic” we had enough of those.
Onward to United Earth 🖖
https://wcpa.ef-gov.org/en/constitution-for-the-federation-of-earth
The Constitution for the Federation of Earth is a proposed governing document developed by the World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA) over 33 years (1968–1991) to establish a democratic world government, designed to end war, protect human rights, and ensure ecological sustainability. It creates a federal system where nations become administrative regions under a global authority, featuring a three-house World Parliament.
People making these articles don’t really understand how close Japan is to the USA or how conservative they are. I’m grateful for Japan’s support regarding Ukraine, and we should definitely keep them as allies, but forming an EU-like union with them is just not very realistic (or even a good idea). For most of its democratic history, Japan has been ruled by one party…
I would gladly welcome these counties into our union.
Various phases of interrogation seem to be optimal based on the 3 speed EU model.
Yes, please.
There’s a party for that in every EU member country: https://volteuropa.org/
Long live Europe! 🇪🇺
Including anyone and everything who upholds the same democratic principles and ideals sounds fair too
