Either that or WW3 is really coming when all these nations start fighting each other because we don't actually have a common ground.
I've always thought that the EU's rapid expansion was ill conceived, bringing as it did so many different nations with their competing interests etc. into a club and hoping they'd all get along quite nicely. The real world isn't like that sadly and what's happening now in the EU gores to show it. Even if we concede that the intent was good, it was certainly naive to believe that such varied cultures, histories and economies could function happily under anything like the constraints of a single state, especially one dominated by Berlin.
