Whack-O Theory of 10/24/19: The European Union has untold value!

What the EU gives to smaller countries is a place among the big countries of Europe.  My Whack-O Theory is to see the EU as a place for small nations, and even not-really typically considered nations. to function among a community of nations.  After the demise of the Soviet Union, satellites became independent states though clustered in a Russian Federation, each state on its own but sharing with one another as allowed by the EU format.

Albania, Macedonia both are seeking membership in the EU.  But I can imagine that opportunity being offered to those regions in Europe longing for independence to pursue their own cultures and trade and commerce opportunities in their own right: for instance, Catalan in Spain, Scotland in Great Britain.  A region which has economic wherewithal to be independent should be given the chance.  Nothing but good can from the experience of being free.
