I want to discuss something which I would not believe only I heard it here. There is a debate that Europe is about to or has already become an aggressively militarised or militarising super state. That is a mouthful of clichés which I would like to separate. My view is that the super state is an invention of The Daily Telegraph and little Englanders in the United Kingdom. The super state hypothesis is an extremity and a distortion of today's Europe. However, it is so extreme that, like all extremes, it justifies its counterpart of excessive scepticism. Each extreme needs the opposite extreme to justify its own extremity. It is an invention for super sceptics who need its counterpart of super state. It is thesis and antithesis. It does not exist. Tell me the super state in the world whose annual budget is as low as 1.12% of the GDP of its constituent member states? How could a super state exist with a budget which is, relatively speaking, so puny?
