Euro will fall, I have no doubt in this, but what it has to do what I said about BRICS? EU and eurozone are not the same, not all EU is part of eurozone (although I also am pretty sure that EU in existing form will collapse at some point). But BRICS is less of an alliance than European Coal and Steel Community in 1951.
