Be realistic.
If the USA goes down, it’s not going to be a soft landing.
The USSR was a smooth transition, and there was massive genocide in the wake of the fall. Ukraine gave up its weapons when the EU and USA promised them help.
Think places like North Dakota are going to peacefully surrender their nukes?

The EU didn’t exist then the USSR fell.

What the EU has been around since 1952?

You are thinking of the European Community for Steel and Coal, probably.

What ever you want to call it the EU Parliament was founded 10 September 1952 if you want to be generous the first election that shows continuity of leadership was 1979 well before the fall. en.wikipedia.org/…/1979_European_Parliament_elect…
