There are exact parallels between the Roman Empire and the EUSSR.
Both had to expand constantly to get cheap labour. Both were run by financial incompetents. Both were undemocratic. Rome and Brusselsl both suck in the wealth generated by their empires
The Roman Empire collapsed through financial incompetence, in-fighting, failure to defend frontiers and hostile immigrants.
As will the EUSSR. A lot quicker than the Roman Empire.
