The language and history issues are a far bigger issue in Europe but it's not impossible given enough time
seems to me a one Europe idea is fracturing, not strengthening.
The UK long realized a homogeneous Europe with differing regional solutions to any given issue wouldn’t suit their needs. I think other nations are realizing that a loose confederation for economic sake doesn’t mean there’s common ground to allow for one voice when it comes to military intervention. It took an American President to stop the vacillating and hand wringing over genocide in Europe itself, that’s pretty damning of Euro internal quibbling and politics.
