And thus Europe's ability to defend itself. Outside the ivory tower of commentators and think tank personnel, no one is prepared to die for the EU or Europe. No one will ever do so. Nations did command such loyalty - but not now.
In fact, quite a lot of people are still prepared to die for nations. And neither I nor anyone else has been advocating EU federalism on this: what is being advocated is collaboration between nations, which is what NATO has been doing for 75 years and which the European NATO members now need to do between themselves.
