The UN, the EU, and even the UK have a strategic advantage in the world. It’s the benefit of being a military authority, a structure that is no one but involves more than the ‘someone’ of mistakes of yesteryear.
The UK is not included in the UN’s list of reasons why, but the EU involves us in its reasoning. The UN is not to the scope or size of a target for the UK, but the EU is. The EU has a will of its own that the UN will not understand, but the world is known by the UN completely.
These are major lines in international politics that indicate the usefulness of binding ourselves together in some way to keep advantage off the agenda of known aggressors. While the enemy may or may not be a country, many help such unwieldy forces to have control over us.
The investment of time in institutions has proved itself for benefactors over a long period. The World Wars cannot be ignored as precursors to a depth of will to catch hold of a promise of a better future. Many have tried and failed to break the world, while now we try to keep it whole.
