      Nah, the major nuclear powers are the new Axis. What will happen is the EU will collapse from internal dissent as it tries to ramp up military spending (if it bothers) and then everyone will suddenly notice that there’s no empires remaining that actually oppose the neo-Nazis.

      In the anarchist history texts of the Culture the EU will be deservedly mocked as an even less functioning version of the HRE.
