To be honest I don't think there is gonna be a EU regime as we know it in 5 years:
- The leaders are rock bottom in terms of approval rating
- The only people who have a deeply rooted attachment to the project are the boomers and the elite. The boomers are dying at a rate of about 10% per years.
- The EU does not have any good relationship anymore with any great power anymore: not China, the US or Russia.
- Their market, the main source of power in negotiations is shrinking
- They have been stupid enough to voluntarily fully inherit the Ukraine war which is lost.
Last but not least, nobody elected the commission, Von Leyen or Kallas. The fact they do not have real legitimacy, they made an enemy of their own subject and antagonised other great powers at the same time shows how unwise they are.

I don't know much about anything else but I do know that the Ukraine war is not lost yet... not even close. What makes you think it is?
