There's a lot of scaremongering going around. The "no deal" scenario is terrifying for the EU as well, especially if the Britons don't pay the 39b and shut down their market.
Unfortunately, the current EU administration has a track record of self-inflicted wounds (e.g. Russia sanctions), so this is the most likely scenario now.

EU isn't a single country, you know... And there are no countries that will collapse without those 39bn. There's also the fun fact - UK will not get it's rebates.
