#1 The war in Ukraine could lead to a tighter more paranoid, authoritarian, EU.

#2 Yes, but the WEF will fight it tooth and nail.

#3 WEF loves far left Authoritarian so I'm not sure they'd fight it at all.

#4 The EU is a classic case study of how bureaucracies just grow and grow and grow. To think this was "just" a coal and steel economic union/community between a handful of European nations back in the late 1950's or so and looking at the political monstrosity it is now is just simply amazing.

They didn't know it at the time, but the political Leviathan known as the EU was doomed from the get-go.

Wonder why the US dollar is so strong? That is one reason.

#5 One can always hope. Maybe Sweden or Italy will follow Englands lead and leave that grift-pile.

#6 Someone told me that right wing parties across the EU are united covertly in a plan to mass exit. Hit the Eww with exit after exit so while it reels from the shocks they can firm up their own alliances. And that by 2030 the supranation will be full of failing, chaotic socialist tyrannies trying to barely maintain order.
