Bureaucrats serve only to themselves, this is universal true. If such behavior could be describe as "thuggish"? Their scams are financed from our taxes.

I did not meet such person yet, who support the EU (except bureaucrats themselves) and would really know how the EU works. Only opponents bother to learn about the EU. So this is other way around, I can convince them to change their mind.

In small country this is easier to get rid unwanted leaders. Pressure from the inside is much more important than pressure from the outside. Every country should stick to its own business.

Luxembourg has the highest GDP per cap in the world only thanks to full cooperation with the rest of the Benelux and EU. Even with the case of little Singapore, it has managed to thrive only thanks to its complete specialization: Services (any Great Depression like the one in the 1930s is assured to bring it back into the Stone Age). Thus you must know that Singapore is now the most adamant in building ASEAN into an equivalent of EU.
Nothing is guaranteed. I meant larger regions than Luxembourg. Might be even big country, which is divided for few regions, where central goverment is responsible for defense policy, foreign policy and maybe something else. The rest should be in competences of regional leaders. Most likely Swiss direct democracy should be practiced.

At first economic, then diplomatic and finally, according the the dictate of reason, why not territorial conquest? Ask yourself how long did Luxembourg stand against Nazi Germany? 1 day (10 May 1941)! Being small is only wonderful in a peaceful world, but this world will not know peace as long as there are still big and small countries which all cherish the doctrine of 'Regionalism' (your vocabulary).
Practically me above description solve this problem. Beside of that in divided Germany people wont be interested to invade anybody. They would care about their pockets.
By the way, current generation of Germans would not even conquer this Luxembourg :)

If you are from Vietnam then you should know very well that centralization simply don't work. People in regions always know better than Central Committee what needs to be done. Look at the UN, the most corrupt organization ever. Global organization.
