“I'd rather be dominated in a political arena than in a military one”

Is that really the only choice nations face? Just a binary eu or no eu, domination either by treaty or by military force? What about diplomacy?

Ask Canada how that's working out for them.

Diplomacy is great, but trade wars are real and between nation states trade wars are extremely nasty if one party has an economy 10 times that of the other.

So yes, there is a third option, but it isn't all that pretty either. Within the EU there are no trade wars.
