The German military considers the disintegration of the European Union and the West over the next few decades a possibility, according to an internal report seen by Der Spiegel.

The 102-page “Strategic Perspective 2040� report — adopted in late February and kept under wraps since then — outlines six scenarios for how social trends and international conflicts are likely to play out and influence German security, the weekly magazine reported Saturday.


It includes a worst-case scenario in which the EU unravels and Germany is forced into a “reactive mode.� In this projection, the international order falls apart after “decades of instability,� value systems lose their influence and globalization grinds to a halt.

In the context of the limits to growth mega-trend this is actually quite likely.

Isn't it their job to plan for the worst? You can't do that without suggesting stuff that probably (and in many case hopefully) won't happen.
