Well, you can safely store it with trusted allies….
Don't give up sovereignity, even to allies! Alliances change, but even ignoring that, it's akin to letting allies run your infrastructure or make your policies or own your water. It's giving part of yourself away.
So, abandon the EU? Abandon the concept of the USA? My comment was tongue in cheek but deep cooperation can be a good thing. It's part of the reason for the EU. Mutual dependency reduces the risk of war. Isolationism, like the USA is tending towards leads to more war.
The EU is not an alliance, since member states give up a good portion of their sovereignty to the bloc. It's much closer to a "loosely bound US" than a "NATO on steroids".
