Nope, the EU population is larger than the US, where we are lacking is in our military power.

And are ramping up, faster than I would have believed possible 5 years ago.

It's almost like people have forgotten history. Europe isn't a newcomer, I just hope it won't go to our heads, and that's where being 27 countries together makes sense for me so hopefully only "good" things will come out of it all.

Mongolian were newcomers when they conquered China, Middle East, Europe and other regions.

Then you deserve to feel Trump's fury hit Europe. If you're so full of yourselves regarding your power, let's hope you don't end up regretting it.

Trump's fury

lol

You mean "Trump's tantrum"

The US has lost many long term conflicts with less capable foes in the last decades.

They haven't faced a foe with comparable tech and infrastructure since WWII.
