And my take is that the age of empires ended with the British empire, or the Soviet Union if you consider that a continuation of the Russian empire.
The US empire, China and the EU operate differently from the olden day Empires. And I consider the EU model to be the template that will eventually dominate in our future.
Being a single country all alone like Ukraine or Taiwan or even the UK just isn’t going to be sustainable. Nations will need to form unions to achieve critical mass against big countries and other unions.
Few countries will want to go fully towards a USA style federal union, so EU style is probably the model that will eventually dominate the world.
Correct.
And the EU is the current incarnation of the (Western) Roman Empire ✝️
I believe there will similarly be a second Eastern Roman Empire incorporating Constantinopel, from Fez to Lahore. ☪️
The glory of Rome shall never fade. 🇦🇱
Yes, I played a lot of Age of Empires as a kid, why do you ask?
Correct me if I’m wrong but the EU does not consider themselves as a Roman successor state.
But we do
The other guy already said that we do, but to elaborate.
