Well, this is disturbing: the CIA is predicting the collapse of the EU in fifteen years.
I've always thought it was inevitable and will frankly be surprised if they can even last that long. Here's the money quote:

"In a devastating indictment of EU economic prospects, the report warns: 'The current EU welfare state is unsustainable and the lack of any economic revitalisation could lead to the splintering or, at worst, disintegration of the EU, undermining its ambitions to play a heavyweight international role.'"

Of course. Even a blind Marxist could see it.

(As for the CIA's abilities as a "prediction agency", well that's a subject for another day.)
