World Court and the EU will result in a major war someday

I view it like this...  I'm sure many will say I'm wrong, but here we go...

After the collapse of the USSR, there is no balance of power against the United States in the affairs of the world. We are the ONLY superpower left, and people feel threatened by that.

The EU is merely attempting to restore a balance that was lost. I don't feel threatened by it (at the moment), nor do I feel the EU is attempting to strengthen Europe for a possible war against the United States.

I feel that they are attempting to consolidate the limited resources of each of the European Countries as individuals into a cohesive whole that can compete with the United States on a global level economically, not militarily.

There is obvious potential for future problems as always, but at the moment I don't think their goal is to build a unified alliance capable of waging war against the United States.

Just my opinion

United europe is a centuries old dream already.
This is just an another kind of attempt to unite it after the wars, which obviously were doomed to fail at it.

What comes to trading, alot of european countries used to be EFTA (European Free Trade Association) members, until EU became popular.


I'd say the US is too highly promoted in this thread as the cause of EU.

Want anymore?


YES!  Post more! Then find some war-mongering statements I made as well.

You found some real stunning country bashing there! I am obviously "Over-the-top" in those statements. I am suprised I wasn't banned for those statements.
 
It clearly points out how I feel about europe and France. You know I am known for my extreme country bashing on the BBS....  

Can you post a link to those Dowding? I want to see the context from which they were taken.

You said you had never commented on any country and challenged me to prove otherwise. I have done so and, not surprisingly, you're still not content.

Shame.

actually this is what I said:

Quote
I have never posted anything derogatory about another country or europe on the BBS since I've been here


You seem to like to perceive me as a war-monger and a person who doesn't like and/or bashes the UK, France or Europe when I haven't done either of those things.

You seem to enjoy labeling people.

Maybe you would get lucky and America will send arms to you again, to save you from your pacifist, hide from reality, enemy-trusting selves.
