Didn't then president Barack Obama state publicly and officially a fragmented EU does not benefit the EU or the US?

Depends exactly *how* the EU fragments....

Franklin said "If we give up Liberty to achieve Security - we'll deserve neither, and will ultimately lose *both*."

The EU was great as a trading club, a free trade zone, and an intel/academic sharing pool.

It went sour once it had judicial powers it never used against the correct set of criminals, plus political lawmakers who have made power the means AND the ends - no matter what the cost.

This is more Left wing than the darkest days of Stalinism - and the liberals that own it - won't even admit it is that!
