The first road was just impossibile to achieve even to die hard conviced europeans. So the second road was chosen. First europe as an economic entity and then god willing a unified political entity (and this second goal requires as a prerequisite to dismantle NATO). But who knows when.
I already lost hope that I will be witnessing a unified political and military europe within my lifetime.
I do not even want that European superstate. I also doubt it could function. I think many do not want it. That'S why they enforced the euro against the warning. That'S why they cheated on the Lisbon dictate. Economic cooperation, okay. Superstate - big No from me.
