@Convivial
Okay then, without attempting to make a comparison, how should that chart look in your world view?

@swirlie ... move the left column into the right column ...

@Convivial
...and then what do you have?

@swirlie lack of tension...?

@Convivial
Oh, I think the opposite! What you'd have is an increase in tension, not a lack of tension. This is because the US would never in a hundred years agree to work as one military entity for global peace. The USA is not peaceful Nation at its core, nor has the US ever advocated for global peace.

Therefore, unless the EU agrees to let the US military be in charge of everything combined, you'd never see the US government agreeing to merge and share all those combined military assets in that chart of their own volition.

That is precisely why the USA is being left behind on the global stage as each world nation prepares itself for it's own self-defense, which was caused by the US demonstrating to the world that it is no longer a reliable military ally, nor can the US government be trusted with anything they ever get involved in.

@swirlie while I agree with many of the things you said, I was not suggesting any type of "merger"... But of close allies in a common cause

@Convivial


Moving the left column into the right column is actually the definition of a "merger".

If not a merger, then what were you otherwise inferring?
