Do you really think that the colonialism and empire-building natures of GB, France, and Germany, not to forget the Belgians and the Dutch et alia, has so died from the draining effects of 2 world wars and their consequences? I suspect the motive is well at work even if limited to a "continental" scale. The moves of Germany and France as discussed above would seem to imply a revivication (if not a full scaled resurrection) of the concepts. But, despite the history, current bloc building is certainly evidence prima facie of the goals, is it not?
