melmothtw, the EU has not prevented war in Europe at all. The things that prevented war in Europe are the USSR and USA along with the concept of mutually assured destruction. There was no way that in the cold war the Soviets or Americans would allow European nations to be so silly again. The danger with the Soviets gone is that one part of that ''peace maker'' is missing but a resurgent Russia can take its place and also act as a foil to Washington on some issues. The EU can only taking credit for ruining this once great nation.
The EU has come close to causing a war with its dangerous policies of expansion.
