Speaking as an American (and a Swissman), the country that has done the most to undermine the EU has been Germany. First with austerity. Next by hyperventilating over nuclear. Then by implementing the results of said hyperventilation by vacillating over Russia. Almost pathologically, it has been Berlin putting its interests ahead of Europe that has caused Brussels’ stumbles.
If these issues weren’t blocked (nor the common defence and deposit insurance schemes) nationalism in Eastern Europe wouldn’t be as pressing.
