@Kapitan: Appreciate your answer and reasons. I also want to say sorry if i aggravated you, only excuse is i am getting tired of nationalist BS and i am too often insinuating this everywhere recently, and sometimes unfounded.

I am sure there are a lot of faults that are initiated or at all made possible, by the EU. I do not hope it will fall, but if it will be due to over-nationalist thinking and populists searching a scapegoat for own problems. It is also attacked by China and Russia, seeing a successful model of national states working together on science, trade and values.
The EU should change in a lot of aspects, yes.

If people think their own culture is under threat by a trade union i do not think much of a precious culture exists. If a culture like in Afghanistan demands to sell and marry their underage daughters i tell them they can shove their culture up their behind.
Is a club like the EU better or worse than doing it in solo effort "in a multipolar world"? There are reasons for both i admit.. we will see. All else is speculation.

But globally, we have seen a political right shift all over the world, then the US "switched off" for four years in a way, and Putin's idea of a multipolar world has been gaining momentum. China has challenged the West on its own capitalist basis, and is a clear winner. All this will have an effect on democratic nations. I personally do not think this is good for humanity altogether. And by all faults organisations like the EU have, it is one of the few bulkheads that may help smaller states against the big bullies.
