What could go wrong?

What could go wrong?
I seriously doubt this will ever happen. Its the final death throes of an ill conceived union. Look for the Eurozone to break up and everybody go back on their own currencies.
For most of Europe, it’s socialism or facism with nothing in between. They’d rather commit suicide than adopt anglo style classical liberalism.
The leaders of the countries in question want it to happen. The fanaticism of pro-EU politicians is little understood, but it’s there; this forced union would never have gotten as far as it did if not for that fanaticism.
The elites aren’t on that barge.
You got that right.
Except the United states was formed by a group of entities with a common language, common culture, no history, and a common goal to rid themselves of a common tyranny. The founding fathers were creating a nation of common interests, not trying to merge existing nations of differing interests, languages, and cultures, some of which have been around and seperately evolving for over a thousand years (England and France). Oh, and just another tiny difference: the people of the differing nations of Europe don’t want it, not even the German people, only the politicians of just about every party aside from the UKIP.
