that isn't a metaphysical question... and the answer to that question for hundreds of years in western nations is a nation that will stand up to tyranny and do all within their power to let their nation along with others prosper.
You lose countries in the EU to fend for themselves what happens? They get lured into opposing countries, they falter and dictators make a run for power then what happens at that point? Having a united front protects against that. The UK leaving doesn't change that, it just leaves them less united and weakens the process.
If russia wasn't run by people with serious pride issues then they would join as well and prosper like many of the nations within the EU. But they insist on spending their money on their nuclear program and to be a constant threat instead and MOST of their people suffer in poverty for it.
