No way the Germans, French, Italians and former Soviet countries will get along in "union". No way.

The EU has been coming together since the early 1950's. It will last, haven't you seen what has happened in French-German relations in the past 2 years? The EU has an great amount of economic power and that means they have a great amount of "soft" power. They would inept to let the union fall apart.
