Maybe we donโ€™t want to do that againโ€ฆ people have some really short memories.

You guys don't have the same suprise factor anymore. Europe will never be a long term power. True Power is moving back east

"Become a world power"

You know, we've had that experience before, "everywhere else" would pretty much prefer that didn't happen again, thank you very much.

Seriously. Why do people genuinely think this is a good idea? Colonialism and imperialism is bad.

People should have learned after the US's faults, and overreliance of it due to being a world power; but people just want to do it again???

For the love of God Europe, we need a world power that actually respects human rights, not outright rejects them like Russia, pretends to embrace like America, or outright rejects them while tankies pretend that China embraces them.

You're looking in the wrong place. Several EU members have far right leaders already, many more are moving right. The EU (and UK) are about 4 or 5 years behind the US. Don't confuse disagreement with Trump over Ukraine with meaningful ideological differences.
