This will end up being good for the economy.

Once the EU breaks apart and Europe returns to pre-unification form with economic and power struggles between the nations it'll lead to WW3 and allow the US military industrial complex to really kick some ass.

So America will be great again? YES!!!!!!!!

That is one senario to think about but aren't you being an alarmist?

History provides a millennia of example that a divided Europe is a continent at war.

From 1945 to today is the longest period of sustained peace in Europe since the Romans ruled the continent.

There have been small wars, the break-up of Yugoslavia which was not in the EU at the time for instance, but not large scale conflicts.

If the EU dissolves, I think things will get very volatile.

I'm not following your logic Terp, from 1945 to 1993 there was no EU, 48 years, from 1994 to 2016 is only 22 years, unless you are calling the "Council of Europe" as being the start of the EU?

France is going on the march to Russia again.

No, wait, Merkel is starting the Fourth Reich.

No, no ... El Duce 2.0 is going to halt exports to America and we declare war because Olive Garden will go bankrupt.

I've been hearing a lot of talk

about the EU formed after WWII, too?????

It's like The Ref California talk in which accuracy is not the main thing.

Carpathian Ruthenia will finally rise up

There's a decent discussion to be had about this. Here is obviously not the place it will be had.

European unification and the foundations of the current European Union began pretty much within a decade of the end of WW2.

I'm not implying that Europe is going to fall into chaos tomorrow.

But if the EU fully dissolves it makes the region much more volatile. Right now most of Europe has shared economic interests. History shows us that when Europe does not have shared economic interests there is constant conflict.

Well, if you want to get technical, unification of Europe was alive and well in Roman times, I was just asking if you were considering the COE as the start of the EU, that would have been 1949 that's all.

I was just reading an article in which England is not going to be in a good bargaining position once David Cameron kick starts article 50 of the Lisbon treaty, which he promised to do if Brexit won out. He'll probable do it near the end of his resignation. Once the two years end, if agreements aren't reached between the British and the EU, the World Trade Organization becomes the standard for trade.

Also, this negotiation will set a standard for others nations that are considering leaving, so the EU may end up playing hardball with the British.
