What is nation is not a objective question. People can define Europe as nation and then you can have an nationalistic Europe.

Right, it they do not. You’d have to stretch the definition of nation beyond its breaking point for Europe to be a nation. It would include Russia and Ukraine, Finland and Greece, none of these nations have much in common.


That’s just as meaningful in the context as saying that humanity is a nation for some definition of the term.

Europe is many things, but probably a poor base to push any nationalistic aspiration.


Nobody inside Europe would define Europe as a Nation
