    The way I see it, we should make EU2 and NATO2 all just the same, but with kick out rules, and just not invite the countries in that don’t fit any more.

    With UN2 it’s a bit different, because it’s meant to get everyone on the table. So maybe just redo it without the stupid veto rules.

      There is nothing simple in removing a nation from a treaty, even more when it involves such degree of integration as we have in the EU. Remember Brexit. It was a complete disaster.

      Saying there is a need to remake this or that institution is also not a good idea.

      UN as it exists is undermined. Either all countries of good faith band together and forcefully ignore the treaties on which the alliance predicates in order to force change or those countries simply ignore UN and create a new international organization, with the same purpose but with more muscle and bite behind it. In my view, the UN could evolve to what could become a global federation and the prototype of a unified, transnational, government.

      Regarding the EU, it is by default, to my knowledge, an ever evolving organism. New agreements, treaties, etc, are constantly being drafted, negotiated, etc. It is, very obviously and objectively, a large, cumbersome, slow beast but it has created very good initiatives that have created good outcomes for all.
