> As long a Germany and France are on board, the EU will survive in some form.

They won't be on board much longer. The EU is nonsense at its very core. It is a corrupt cesspool where a select group of unelected masters rule over the unwashed masses.

It is a farcical idealized fantasy. It doesn't exist the way the people idealized it to exist.

> The UK has always been an obstacle to tighter integration, and that obstacle will likely be gone soon.

Actually, the UK was a force for tighter integration. After all english and modern anglo culture is the dominant culture of the EU.

It is just shocking how naive people are. The problem with the EU is precisely france and germany. To have "integration", you have to have a common language, culture, history, etc. So will french or german be the language of the EU? That's just the basic first level aspect of a "union".

The only way the EU will ever work is if one dominant nation/ethnic group/etc conquers the whole thing and forcibly integrates the region. And that won't happen anytime soon.

Greece and Hungary are probably next to leave soon to be followed by everyone else.
