BRICS overtake the EU: Is the EU Collapsing?

As the European Union heads into 2024, it faces a multifaceted set of challenges that threaten both its economic stability and overall cohesion. Economic disparities across member states are a critical concern, manifesting in varied growth rates and leading to issues like brain drain, where talent and investments migrate from struggling economies to more prosperous ones. This situation is exacerbated by lingering effects from past financial crises, such as debt issues and the impact of Brexit, as well as by current geopolitical tensions and the challenges of coordinating monetary policy across the diverse economies of the Eurozone.

External factors also play a significant role in the EU's stability challenges. Geopolitical tensions, rising nationalism, and protectionism, particularly among global powers with divergent interests like BRICS, and the US introduce additional layers of complexity. The international landscape is further complicated by the weakening of traditional alliances and institutions, alongside emerging threats like nuclear deterrence, which undermine long-standing norms of global governance.
This video explores a range of topics related to the EU, including the economic challenges it faces, the relationship between the EU and BRICS nations, factors that affect the EU's stability, potential consequences of an EU collapse, and the EU's economic vulnerabilities, among other subjects.
