    Can you compare the power California has within the US, to the same power a country like Slovenia would have in federal EU? It’s not mindless nationalism, it’s also the very real threat of giving up your own soveregin right to someone or something, that might totally ignore your interests, or continuously put their interests above yours. You see how Trump ignores the interests of California as they are completely opposite, what makes you think that any nation in EU wants to be in the same situation ever in the future, if they don’t have those problems now and can prevent it quite easily, by doing nothing?

    In EU there will never be an European as the leader, they will always be a German, Slowak, Swede… and at that point it’s clear which interests they will push forward.

      It’s like you just ignored everything I wrote and went with whatever you had in mind. So there’s not much point in engaging with your arguments.
