The guy is comparing Europe (continent) to the USA (country). Not the same.

Didn't you notice about two years ago Europe became a country? It used to be people would
tell you they were "from France" or "going home to Germany". Then you had the whole EU thing,
single currency, etc. and whatever propaganda that now has people saying they are "from
Europe" and "going home to Europe".
Very similar, it seems, to the original idea of the US constitution - that it was a framework for
the 50 separate states to cooperate. As certain people used the federal government - the
federation as a means of forcing things on all 50 states, the federation became the
strongest government and started acting as a single state. I see the same thing happening
in the EU. It's sold as a way for separate states to cooperate, but as the EU makes more
and more mandates each individual state will slowly lose it's identity.
