This is a normal post I'm pretty sure there haven't been any international wars between EU members, which was the point.
Ireland and Yugoslavia were internal, Italy's war completely passed me by, and the Eastern Bloc weren't even in the EU.

This is a normal post Ireland's war was internal?
I think those on the British mainland who were attacked or killed might disagree.

No.

This is a normal post Anni di piombo
And Baader-Meinhof...and ETA...and OAS / FLN...

There are many good arguments for the EU, but the "70 years of peace" is disingenuous in the extreme. It ignores American nukes and cruise missiles, MAD etc., which pretty much guaranteed peace for the first 50 years or so of that.

States fight when it's in their interest. With luck, the collapse of the EU will lead to a new round of European wars, clear out the dead wood, cut down the population, lead to new scientific advances, send much of today's feckless welfare scum off to die as cannon fodder, and finally get rid of the epidemic of self-absorption that leads to such modern maladies as depression and gender fluidity.

This is a normal post because people who've experienced modern warfare never suffer from things like depression do they?
I think you / your spawn should enlist if you think combat is so beneficial to the soul. Bin the tragic office job and the Mondeo, lose a few pounds, see the world

This is a normal post PTSD is a *good* reason for depression
"Oooh, I'm a bit unsatisfied with my life, and everyone else is having a better time according to their Facebook pictures" is a *bad* reason to be depressed.

Also, nowhere did I say combat benefited individuals, mongchops.
