Why are European countries increasing defense spending?
I have been hearing a lot about this lately, why all of a sudden are places like the U.K.
doubling their defense budget?

@WintaTheAngle In your dreams maybe.

@DogMan I’m talking about America returning to its pre war policy of isolationism. That’s all, nothing so far fetched.

@WintaTheAngle Look it up Homey. I'm a little busy at work.

@DogMan I don’t think I’ll bother. It sounds like one of those “lizard people” things that was flying around ten years ago.

@WintaTheAngle I'm a busy guy, but not lazy. It is not hard to find info.
The Resurgent Idea of World Government
Campbell Craig
The idea of one world government is returning to the mainstream of scholarly
thinking about international relations. Universities in North America
and Europe now routinely advertise for positions in ‘‘global gover
nance,’’ a term that few would have heard of a decade ago. Chapters on cosmo
politanism and governance appear in many current international relations (IR)
textbooks. Leading scholars are wrestling with the topic, including Alexander
Wendt, perhaps now America’s most influential IR theorist, who has recently
suggested that a one world government is simply ‘‘inevitable.’’ 1 While some scholars
envision a more formal world state, and others argue for a much looser system of
‘‘global governance,’’ it is probably safe to say that the growing number of
works on this topic can be grouped together into the broader category of ‘‘world
government’’—a school of thought that supports the creation of international
authority (or authorities) that can tackle the global problems that nation-states
currently cannot.

@DogMan
I’ve just checked with my wife who is head of faculty at our local Uni and that’s not a thing. And she confirmed it’s neither on any national syllabus or curriculum.
We can discount that.

@WintaTheAngle People around the world talk about it all the time, and study it.
Correct, it hasn't happened yet. But people are working on it. Tell your wife to
leave the faculty lounge and look into it. You can find thousands of articles
on people that are fighting for it. Like George Soros.

@DogMan Well they can do as they wish. The U.K. however just left the EU over concerns it wasn’t being listened to on various issues and to restore full policy making to parliament.
It’s therefore very unlikely that very same electorate would consider a World government.
We aren’t joiners. There’s our interests and then there’s everyone else’s. If others want to surrender regional power that’s their problem. The U.K., our overseas dependencies and so on will not.
