I imagine the right-wing in the USA will not like a EU that actively becomes a superpower. For one thing, a united EU would actively promote social democracy (Liberty, Equality and Fraternity - all things that the current American culture does not care for); and of course this is a challenge for leadership of the West. It will never happen of course - the EU is too uncoordinated and petty to do anything. The sheer ineptitude of France and the corruption in Germany essentially meant that the EU was unable to help Ukraine in the same capacity as the Americans (and this should be extremely embarrassing)

Great job on the video. I think you're right that if Euro becomes a power and US influence is less, eventually the US won't be too happy about that as it goes against their single superpower ideology. However I think that we're already going through the first round of that cycle right now. In 2007 or so Europe Tech + Russian resources already was shaping up an economic superpower. At the time I remember Russians starting to save money in Euro rather than USD . That's now been fixed with a wedge from Poland down to the Ukraine being slowly driven in, and just now reaching a boiling point. We're certainly now in uncharted territory....
