Notice too, the EU is no longer to be even in Europe, they consider Georgia, Armenia, Azerbajan and Turkey their future territory too. Once Russia falls, they will have access to all the natural resources they need. They will have the new oil fields of the Caucus, the mediteranian traffic too. To some degree they will also have the US surrounded, especially with the sell outs in Canada, Mexico.
Continuing along that line of logic, if your scenario happened, I can forsee the United States having to send forces into Mexico and Canada to secure the resources and then we hand over the keys over to the FD'ers, hopefully having a responsible government up there, Mexico we might have to stay there. I don't think the EU could hold onto all of Russia, you might have a "rump Russia" left over from East of the Urals to the Pacific, but still there are lot of resources there. So you might end up with a US/UK/"Rump Russia" Axis, maybe you can toss India in. Red China is a wild card, like the EU or the Germany of the early to mid 20th Century, they had their eyes on Russia's bounty in Siberia. Maybe the EU and Islamic threat might sway them to us or they could be a loose cannon. Tough to say. Russia might be somewhat defanged in a military sense but I don't think they'd want the EU to push them around so they could resort to nukes on the EU or at least blackmailing them with them.

There will be no Rump Russia. What the EU can't take the Chinese will finish. And the EU kisses arse to the Chinese. Both hate America, India, Russia and Israel. Not much left after that, especially with the EU's Arab allies.
