That was my first thought too...a UNITED STATES of Europe...as though America has anything to do with it?!
Although it could explain the large amount of confusion found in Revelations regarding dragons, beasts, and anti-Christ.
For all this to take place, real America must be made small upon the world stage...I do believe that is happening at this very moment.
Can’t argue that the US under oblunder is quickly loosing it’s, well, everything. But I think the catalyst to trigger these final events/stages will be an unprecedented economic collapse setting off a worldwide domino effect on the worlds markets throwing everything into complete chaos. It’s all most likely being engineered as we speak and proceeding as planned. But there’s going to come along a good looking chasismatic guy who seems to have the answers to all the worlds ill’s and will overwhelmingly be chosen to put everything back together.
