Goal is Europe! BAAB (Greater Eurasian and African Union) is Not a Dream!

The EU was the world's biggest economic power, but it was not the biggest power. To become the greatest power;  energy resources of its own,  It needed a global military power of its own.

The European Community, including the UK, was in fact the world's biggest economic power. It was also the biggest market for other economies. It also had an educated and numerous demographic structure, but the weakest link in this demographic structure was the high average age of the population.

The EU was the world's biggest economic power, but it was not the biggest power. To become the greatest power;

 energy resources of its own,

 It needed a global military power of its own. 

How could the EU access the energy resources so close to it?

 By establishing close relations with Russia, its neighbor on its continent, and even incorporating Russia into the EU and exploiting all its natural resources.

 It could establish close relations with Turkey, which is located both on its continent and in Asia, and even include Turkey, which it has kept waiting at its door for years, into the EU and use it as a bridge for fossil fuels from Eurasia and Central Asia. Turkey should have joined the EU not only as Turkey but also as Oguzeli/Turkeli/Turk Union (see Ref.-1), and Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Morocco and Nigeria would most probably have joined the Turkish Union.

How could the EU have a strong military power of its own?

 By including Russia in the EU, it could have achieved a very serious military power, including nuclear power.

 By admitting Turkey (Union of Turkey, Asia, Middle East and Africa) to the EU, which it had kept waiting at its door for 60 years;

 It would include a very strong and dynamic armed force,

 It would also have a partner with a key geographical position in the Middle East and between Asia and Europe.

The EU could have transformed from a European Union into a Eurasian and African Union

If the EU had been able to keep the UK and include Russia and the Union of Turkey, Ukraine would easily be part of the EU, and Georgia would have liked to be included. 

The Republic of Turkey, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (de facto), Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, as well as Syria, Iraq, Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and Nigeria would also be willing and dynamic members of the EU. 

In this case, the EU would have been transformed from a European Union into a Eurasian and African Union (hereinafter, we will refer to this structure as the Greater Eurasian and African Union, UAEU). In this case, the EAEU would have an economic power far above the US, a military power that could compete with the US and surpass it in a short period of time, and a significant demographic structure.

Would the EU's complex demographics allow it to be a union with a common purpose?

British, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, etc. Could such complex nations with different languages, cultures, histories, religions, sects, etc. have formed a common union? Very difficult but not impossible. The important thing is the satisfaction of the hierarchy of needs of societies. If economic prosperity is achieved first, and then a security barrier is created, societies will be motivated to develop themselves, share their art, literature and culture, and promote science and scientific studies.

What about the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in this situation?

While NATO aims to defend the countries bound by this treaty, especially against the Soviet Union, it is actually an organization that serves American interests and hegemony, which also serves as the gendarme of the leading country, the USA, over the member countries. So NATO will be disbanded.

So what will be the position of the US in the face of the UAE?

In the face of a strong UAE, the US will be just a market and a serious competitor. Probably the US will try to build a joint military force with Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, but it will be up against a giant UAE and huge rivals like China, India, Indonesia.

How should the UAE act as a new world power?

European and Christian states and nations within the UAE will abandon their colonialist, supercilious and hypocritical behavior and will not play a leadership role within the UAE. Obviously, the Muslim countries within the UAE, led by Turkey, will achieve a demographic leadership, but it would also be appropriate to include Hungary in this union and remove it from the image of a Muslim union.

The main priority within the UAEU should be to raise the living standards of the nations of the member states to a serious level. The UAE will have the financing, technology, knowledge, skills, manpower, natural resources, etc. to realize this in a very short time.

Religion and state affairs will be strictly separated in the UAE administration. But no one will try to make anyone like them. In short, there will be no missionary activities in the UAE. One can go to a mosque, one can go to a church, one can go to a synagogue, and that's that.

The organizational structure of the EAEU should be a kind of confederation, meaning that member states should be independent in their internal affairs and dependent on the EAEU in their foreign affairs.

The common defense force of the EAEU should be established.

If the members of the EAEU fight each other, it should be grounds for expulsion from membership.

There must necessarily be a common language in the EAEU.

No one should dictate their own law to anyone else, except for the minimum commonality of universal law. For example, a country can enact and apply the death penalty for certain crimes if it deems it necessary.

The UAE should not exploit Africa, as the Westerners have done for centuries, but rather lift, share and develop it. In this case, Africa will soon become the most important market of the EAEU.

Instead of a "car-car" organization like the current EU, where there is a voice from every head, a simple, uncluttered organization is sufficient for the top management of the UAEU. The main focus should be on economic development and common defense.

Conclusion:

The real competitor of the EU is the US. If the current EU-US relationship is maintained, the US will never allow the EU to become an independent mega world power. The same is true for Japan and China.

Europe is the target of the US. Europe's only chance is the BAAB Greater Eurasian and African Union. The choice is the European nations'. You should focus on getting rid of US hegemony while the road is close. A generation from now it will be too late.
