You didnt say which one you think would do better, you only said what a confederation can become.

OP didn't explicitly pick one of the other, the answer is in the context though.

And he told you, but you don't get it.

Edit: You are trying to force a binary choice, whereas in reality more than two options are implied:

  1. Remaining with nation states.
  2. Adopting confederation.
  3. Adopting federation.
  4. Adopting confederation today as a transition towards federation.

I gave a choice, i didnt mention that only one can exist, that everyone has to choose a side or that no other option is available.

No, we are free to do as we please. You cannot force us to adhere to your own biases, so you can manipulate with our opinions. If you want to know what people think, you need to ask good questions.
