Europe's income per population is equal to the U.S. worst states. Their native population is decreasing and they are military is challanged (even though Europe's population is about the size of the U.S. they want a 100,000 man army). Germany has twice the death rate of Iraq according to the online CIA factbook. France also has a higher death rate and morepeople are leaving France than Iraq. Yep, it's that bad in Europe.
Unemployment in the EU is over 8% and in Mexico it's 3.7%.
The only thing Europe has got over the U.S. is it's not in debt. It's illegal for a EU country to go into debt. That means their taxes are huge with some countries having taxes around 80% of the population's income.
I think the EU is going to be spreading anti-American propoganda around the world. I'm already seeing opinion pieces where the U.S. was once loved by the world and now isn't. The U.S. was actually bashed since its existance.

The biggest challenge the EU poses to the US is economic, as the EU is an economic, monetary and social union and not a political one.
In the WTO we bargain as one voice, but when it comes to voting we split off into 27 individual votes. We have a higher population and GDP than the US.
Apart from that the EU is just a referance to the most industrialised and stablisied countries on the European Continent.
Europe being over run by hoardes of muslims is a gross exageration and only five of the main European countries have a sizeable muslim minorty and these are peaceful. It is true birth rates are declining on the continent but that has been the case with France going through peaks of troughs for centuries, the same could now be said for the rest of Europe.
The statistics from the CIA, now is that an organisation you think you can trust to give accurate information, particurlary about Iraq and countries that oppossed the war (France, Germany, etc).

Here is a short answer: Europe and its "Union" is gradually being taken over, as major populations by imported muslims who out birth traditional european families. Sooner rather than later, the EU Union will be controlled by muslims....

It will take EU time (maybe a long time) to figure some things out to eventually reach a working equilibrium. If 50 US States can work as well as it does, then EU can work. In the longer run it would seem to me that what keeps us all strong is for the best.

The EU has the largest GDP ( over $15trillion )
the US has $12trillion. The US is more influential over world trade and has the ability to ban the US from trading. It can force thge US to pay fees to trade. It can close down US businesses that do not work to EU rules.
Muslims will never take over the EU. There working right into our cunning plan. There all going to wish they had stayed at home. lol

The European union system will fail. That is quite inevitable.

It has lots of low emission car technology to sell the Americans when the Americans realize that frozen lemons shouldn't be growing on trees in California.

Almost none with one exception: Cyprus has fixed it so the EU and NATO cannot cooperate in Afghanistan and THAT is a real problem.
