The chickens come home to roost, sort of. Or the wolves come home to hunt. Anyway, we are in for a steady diet of stories about centralized pEU bureaucrats doing that what bureaucrats do best: turning a deaf ear and a blind eye to the plight of the governed. How much abuse at the hands of these parasites will the pEU citizens stand? When will the revolt come? I guess it would be wrong to call it a "civil war" because none of them are organized or armed with more than hunting rifles.

Could the pEU get Spanish soldiers to attack Norwegian rebels? German soldiers to reign in Portugese separatists? I get the feeling that the pEU is going to crash, hard.

This is only gut instinct, not based upon any rational speculation, but I suspect when the young lads from eastern Europe get assimilated with the old men in the European Union, there's going to be some debauched decadent ancients slipping on some banana-peels.

In fact, I will go out on a limb and predict with some confidence that it will be the Bulgarians (who have done such things in the past) who will do it, upsetting the apple-cart.

And then Paris, Brussels, and Berlin, since they can't call the shots any more, will decide, nah, let's everybody go back to being separate countries again.....
