CIA predicts grim future for Europe

Thanks god the U.S. intelligence is so concerned about the future of the old continent:
The CIA has predicted that the European Union will break-up within 15 years unless it radically reforms its ailing welfare systems.(..) The report predicts that America’s relationships with Europe will be "dramatically altered" over the next 15 years, in a move away from post-Second World War institutions. Nato could disappear and be replaced by increased EU action. (...) It also largely endorses forecasts that by 2020 China’s gross domestic product will exceed that of individual western economic powers except for the US. India’s GDP will have overtaken or be overtaking European economies.

And as long the U.S. President promises global freedom in god-drenched speeches, we don't have to feel scared, right?
