NATO intervened in Yugoslavia; remind me again what the EU did? Oh, that's right, bugger all.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostNATO stopped European countries from fighting with each other?

Would that be because several EU member states are part of NATO?Originally posted by Mordac View PostNATO intervened in Yugoslavia; remind me again what the EU did? Oh, that's right, bugger all.
Or is it because some people are obsessed with rejecting the idea of having an EU army, but at the same time blaming the EU for not having one?
Please explain which way you want to spin your story today?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

The EU doesn't need an army because NATO has been keeping the peace for the whole time the EU has existed, and before it was even the coal and steel board.Originally posted by WTFH View PostWould that be because several EU member states are part of NATO?

The EU is no different to the Mrs World Competition. Both promote and encourage peace, but NATO has kept the peace.Comment

I'm not sure that is the case - there is nothing in the treaty that says that is the case, ergo rescinding Article 50 prior to actually leaving would just mean we return to how we were.Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostNo chance. If we repeal A50 we will lose lots of our existing cherries.Taking a break from contractingComment

So why is Mordac complaining about the EU doing nothing, if you are saying they didn't need to do anything.Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostThe EU doesn't need an army because NATO has been keeping the peace for the whole time the EU has existed, and before it was even the coal and steel board.

In Mordac's tiny brain the EU has a secret army that could have intervened in Yugoslavia.Originally posted by WTFH View PostSo why is Mordac complaining about the EU doing nothing, if you are saying they didn't need to do anything.

There is nothing in Article 50 about Gibraltar, but the EU have made a political issue out of it.Originally posted by chopper View PostI'm not sure that is the case - there is nothing in the treaty that says that is the case, ergo rescinding Article 50 prior to actually leaving would just mean we return to how we were.
Be in no doubt, we will not be able to return back to the same setup as before.Comment

More Brexit BS.Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostThere is nothing in Article 50 about Gibraltar, but the EU have made a political issue out of it.
The EU did not make any issue out of it. By invoking Article 50, the UK made a big issue out of it. Get your facts straight. If Britain had not involved article 50, then there would be no issue with Gibraltar.
Today's not a good day for you are your alt facts is it?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
