What if NATO was basically a militarized EU how would this affect economy,Cold War, relations and whatever
I just talked to you about your tendency to constantly backseat moderate and naysay. I told you to take a look at your post history and realize that you’re constantly crapping on everything people post that doesn’t meet the Lalli Standard. This is a perfect example of you trying to throw cold water on a discussion for reasons I can’t even guess. You need to cut this out.When this would happen? How? What would be reasoning for such thing? How it would work?
Really, you should put some efforts before there can be given some reasonable answer.

At what point? Doing this at NATO's inception would absolutely ruin western Europe as cheap plentiful American and Canadian goods would flood their still recovering markets. The commercial arrangements of the Bretton Woods System were absolutely pivotal in re-establishing and re-vitalizing European (and Japanese) industry, arguably even more-so than the direct aid afforded by the Marshal Plan.What if NATO was basically a militarized EU how would this affect economy,Cold War, relations and whatever

Basically. If the US is part of it, it’s an American colony. It’s not implausible to have closer economic ties within Western Europe as part of a military framework, but the U.S. won’t be part of it.Warsaw Pact American Edition
As one of the reasons for forming the EEC was to better compete with the US this is a non starter. One of the reasons France kept Vetoing Britain's entry was that the UK was too close to the US.Wasn’t the reasoning behind the EEC and it’s predecessors to unite Europe for security and economic growth? European economic integration doesn’t post date NATO by much.
I think it’s unlikely that European countries agree to be US economic satellites, though. I’ve played around with a Franco-British union scenario where the US is less actively involved in postwar European defense and most of Germany goes communist, and I think in that scenario tighter European economic integration is likely.

Not really, more like COMECON.Warsaw Pact American Edition
This was basically the original idea of the Western Union/Brussels Treaty Organization, but for a different purpose altogether.What if NATO was basically a militarized EU how would this affect economy,Cold War, relations and whatever
