Without the EEC/EU, Europe would have remained ruined/unstable for decades (in the 50´s, 150% growth), unable to rapay Marshall(USA would not have been so powerfull) NATO would have been unsustainable, and civil wars in Europe quite possible, between emerging communists and the others, paving the way to the warsaw pact, blast through, in other words the USSR would have won the cold war, as "who dominates Europe dominates the world"this is an old geopolitical maxim.
The EU of today is a misery, because of its pathetic pro merkelian political class, and total unwilingness to a democratic federalist reform, the project itself, quite desirable, as much as I am concerned.
