this is a very american perspective and youre missing the fact that trying to unite europe under one banner (ideology) is like trying to unite africa, or asia, or middle east, or south america, literally any continent thats not north america. its not going to happen in our lifetime because even if swedes and spanish have more in common than either have with pakistan, its still too big of a difference   nato exists, which does not require any kind of political european union to function
