    keep Europe somewhat relevant i

    Europe is still too relevant for a balanced world. If we are serious about decolonisation then it’s a good thing if we become less relevant and our colonies don’t need us for defence but can fight for the UN to maintain peace. It’s just important to make sure that we cooperate with all the other irrelevant countries so that nobody can dominate us all.

    Think about a common European defense, UK always stopped it

    Bad for the USE, good for remaining just a free market.

    will be forced to do more than just try to act like they own their little backyard

    If we hope for it and don’t have a plan then it won’t happen.

    The US are against a strong power in Asia. If Britain was opposing the EU and they allowed Britain to leave then they must feel safe about the future of the EU.
