In a way, I agree with you. In another, not so much.
When one considers Germany, we rarely think that the government is actually a post-WWII constitution, and relatively new in the historical lens. As are Israel, France ( remember the Vichy? ) and many other nations. These examples make our blessings all the more remarkable, as our venerable 250 years.
The EU -- as in the post-Maastricht treaty group which has morphed into the mess it is today -- isn't even an actual government over a sovereign territory. It is a fiction, propped up by quasi-internationalist support.
I guarantee that young Germans we knew never knew the names Herman Van Rompuy or Altiero Spinelli. The EU -- as a fictional layer of government being held aloft by political hot air -- and its pompous European Commission will join the tales of governments which simply failed and went away. Watch and see.
My point, more or less. It is an emblem of the New World Order: no country, no sovereign territory (except by 'treaty'), no representative government. What gives it validity? A currency - i.e. an accepted barter medium.
A fantasy supported by widespread acceptance. A war with Russia threatens all of that... AND the EU cannot support a war with Russia by itself; they have spent their 'currency' on 'socialism'. "Other peoples' money can become 'no money!'
