Don't call me "Megalomaniac" or flame me just because I don't support the Isolationist-Protective Dove policy.
As you say, this forum is for discussion of various point views. I'm pretty open to change my opinion on the subject if you present your views better and point to me where I'm wrong.
Let me explain my point of view better and why I support Hawk Foreign Policy and Anti-Isolationism of EU :
In the 21-st century the economical and political entities are getting bigger and bigger. This is not 19-th century where you could afford to run small enterprises based economy and you don't have the rest of the World sleeping in the Stone Age. Today Europe have to compete against USA, China, India, Russia, The OPEC countries, Japan, South Korea.
Europe have always been Innovative and Aggressive (Commercially and Military). This is the real "European" way. I don't mean - "Go and conquer the World by a Sword" but "Invest in a Strong Military and use it as a tool to get what you want and stand your ground." Look at the Americans. Yes, I know that most of you don't like their foreign policy, but USA is doing well
for their own good because of the Hawks in the White House.
National Isolationism and Protectionism for countries with population as small as 2 000 000 will be disastrous for them in a longer term in today's World.
It's pity to see EU countries digging their heads one by one into the sand like ostriches looking down under for a long lost glory and hoping that the World won't slap their naked butts.
