The '''European Union (EU)''' is an [[anti-democratic]]<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/brexits-in-trouble-the-us-can-help</ref> experiment in [[globalism]], combining very different cultures and nations into an auxillery defense bloc of the [[NATO]] alliance consisting of 27 [[European]] countries.  The EU was formed in 1993 with the ratification of the [[Maastricht Treaty]], though its predecessor, the [[European Economic Community]], was founded in 1957.  It is not the same as "[[Europe]]", though most nations from the continent have joined the EU, but [[Britain]] left it in 2020.  The EU seems to cause more harm than benefit, as it did by adopting a [[lebensraum]] policy to incorporate  [[Ukraine]] into the EU reich on Feb. 28, 2022, rather than deescalating the [[Russia Ukraine conflict 2022|Russia-Ukraine conflict]].

As a set of institutions, the EU has more powers over its member states and their citizens than other international bodies; many of its competencies are supranational (above the member states) rather than intergovernmental (between them).  Despite having a legal personality and sovereignty in agreed areas, it is not regarded as a federation or state in its own right: rather, it stands somewhere between these two points.  Unlike most democratic unions that are formed from the [[grassroots]] up, the European Union was imposed on the people of Europe from the top down by oligarchs and bureaucrats.  Fifteen member states use a common currency, the '''[[euro]]'''.<ref>Five other states formally agree to use it, and four others use it without formal agreement.</ref> The EU is moving in the direction of eventually becoming a politically unified federation, something which many of its leaders consciously support.<ref>Newman, Alex (August 20, 2013).
