    What have those countries got to do with the EU? In breaking new! 'Asteroid missed earth by only one million miles. EU thanked'

      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        The reasons for peace are:
        - Realisation that killing millions of people doesn't improve anything
        - Vastly improved communication
        - Vastly improved weaponry

        Your role as mouthpiece for the EU is making you look increasingly out of touch with reality.

        The reason for cake is because of the oven. The ingredients have nothing to do with it.

        It would be amazing to believe peace was brought about by a 'thought experiment' and not one single legislative act. Leider wir muss geben Sie a chance to voice dein opinion. Even if that means ignoring the history which so many of our elders fought and died for.

        It'll be our own undoing.

              I'm not sure that Donald got the message:

              Trump Says We Should 'Bomb The S*** Out of ISIS.' Media Scoff. Americans Loved It. | Daily Wire

              We can probably find television footage of American presidents declaring that they'll "bomb the sh*t out of the Vietcong".

                no you suggested the EU was responsible for us not having a major war in Europe for 80 years. I pointed out there hadn't been a 'Major War' anywhere in 80 years so its unlikely the EU was totally responsible for peace as you suggested. Sorry if you didn't understand a reasonable argument.

                  China/Vietnam
                  Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan
                  Iran/Iraq
                  Kuwait/Iraq
                  Sudai/Yemen
                  Bosnia
                  Syria

                  Mind boggles when well over a million deaths amounts to 'oops sorry din't see you there'.

                  If Europe is like the rest of the world I suggest you need to get out more.

                    And in those both sides had Nukes? Didn't think so.

                      Are you saying millions of lives could have been saved if we gave Iraq / Iran nuclear weapons?
