#1 The globalist practitioners may call it a 'retreat' if they like. I call it minding our own business.

#2 The Age of Colonialism was so very, very good for the ~~European Elites~~ World, right Herr Juncker? Brings a tear from the nostalgia of it all...

#6 In part, I suspect he's trying to shame us into retreating to the status quo. Worth a try. It's been working presidents ever since WW II.

#8 The European Union must flex its muscles as a world power,

Not to be discouraging, but this is like deciding to take up mixed martial arts after lying on the couch eating Cheetos and playing videogames since 1950. I'll believe it when it happens. And no, brow-beating the Eastern Euro countries over immigration doesn't count.

#10 A Juncker wants a Zollverein to "impose our position on others"?

Where have I heard that before?

And I thought the "hour of Europe" was back when we were bombing a safely white, small country(the only acceptable target for bombing, to be sure) back in the Nineties.

It literally was an hour.
