The EU And Peace.

Yet again,  I am beginning to spot an abundance of the tired old arguments being trotted out about 'the EU keeping the peace in Europe.'

Let us address this issue:

1) No democracy has ever gone to war with another - so the EU seems largely irrelevant to the point.

2) When empires fall they almost always decay into warfare - and the EU cannot be sustained in its imperialistic desires. A matter of some great concern.

3) NATO, not the EU, has kept the peace where the former communist states are concerned.

Many of the pro-EU apologists are simply not being rational, unlike what is seen in the three points above. Europhile arguments are based on rhetoric, emotionalism and Goebbelsesque propaganda.
