Natio-State is Outdated

"The truth is that the political organization of Europe, divided as it is at present into sovereign nation-states, is anachronistic. It can no longer face the problems with which it is confronted. Every European nation-state knows very well that it cannot defend itself against a possible aggression by a world power-e.g. Soviet Union-Without the help of the United States. Their home markets have become too small and they no longer enjoy vast colonial empires from which they could get their raw materials and where they could sell their manufactured products.Their role on the world stage has been reduced dramatically, and they have no great future nor any message of importance to give to mankind."
