Note the U.S. has survived 240 yrs including the existential crisis of the civil war as well as many lesser challenges. It's proven. The EU has been around for a much shorter time but it is in crisis now as much as it would like to deny it. |

The EU started as a trade agreement and when the EU was officially founded one of the founding principals was that it would never attempt to supersede or replace national sovereignty, which has clearly not been the case for the past decade if not longer.
The EU also has fundamental flaws in it's institution and probably the worse monetary institution currently in existence which is the ECB.
The EU needs to either scale back and go back to it's trade agreement roots or stop pretending it's not a quasi federation and just go on with it.
