3. The EU is imploding--they are like US States were under the Articles of Confederation.
Each of US States was a separate nation unto itself. The had currency problems, which created trade issues between themselves and ineffective and separate trade policies with other nations. As a result, they were not economically prosperous and they were militarily weak. If you ask me, we were lucky the British didn't try to re-subject us to the Crown.

In any case, I am thankful that I live in the US and not in the EU.
