I made the same mistake when I was very young, just five years old. Living at a little distance was a woman named Beatrice who hated children. Later on I got her mixed up in my mind with Beatrix Potter, think that accounts of her liking children were rubbish. It was only when I was older...

You needn't be disappointed. Although a theoretical physicist, Robert Oppenheimer was appointed the administror of the Manhatten project and he was excellent in that role. However he was also a self publicist and promoter who gave the public impression that it was his brilliance that created...

I don't think the EU has much choice. If the member countries won't act first, and they won't while it means double the costs to finance both NATO exercises and those for setting up a European force, the EU is left only with leaning on NATO. .

The EU doesn't have a system of governance since it isn't a government. There is no government of Europe, only the individual governments of the individual member nations. You and some others dont like that. But it will please you very much more if the US clears out and takes NATO with it...

Fast motor vehicles arrived before roads suitable for them. Aircraft arrived before aerodromes. Boats before harbours. Babies before nappies. The need has to arrive first to trigger the necessary provision. While NATO is present the EU's nations will not be motivated to have their own...

No, it doesn't need NATO and its warlike provocations. But here I agree with you that the member countries do need their own defence force. A stand alone defence force to replace NATO and its undue US influence. It will need its own name and cannot be called EU anything, since the EU has no...

When will you get into your head that these are two separate things. The EU alone has kept us safe from the internal wars continuing between member countries. There were lots of those in recent times, two of them devastating. That 60 billion euros was to keep us safe from external attack from...

It's not a negative aspect of the EU. Those exist only in the imagination of yourself and such as that writer, due entirely to a lack of knowledge of what the EU actually is. It exists only to try to bring about a union of all member countries as one country, which then can act physically in...

Since you appear to have completely run out of them, here's some commas and full stops: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ................................................... Say ta. .

Exactly what I've been arguing, until he makes the mistake you keep making, under his heading: Peace beyond the border Beyond the EU's border is nothing to do with the EU. They have no jurisdiction there since they only have the authority of the EU member countries to act within the EU...

Not in the slightest worried. Even with regular daily cuts like those in 1972, e-car timers allow charging to take place when the current is on. I last charged the car on Thursday the 9th. It's now the 25th and I still have 110 miles of range left. People who don't own e-cars worry...

Please stop being so childish. That money is spent on defence against external nations which are outside of EU jurisdiction. The EU has created peace within the 32 countries of the EU, EEA and the single market, countries which formerly created in fighting with each other most of the wars in...

Are you really this thick? Serbia is a close ally of Russia and not an EU member, so being beyond their jurisdiction the EU didn't intervene at the time, beyond saying they would like all the Balkan countries to become EU members so they could share in the member countries peace. Contrary to...

Here you've even answered your own challenge! I've told you many times how the EU achieved the peace between 27 countries that it has. As you said yourself, just words, getting the 27 to talk among themselves as friends rather than attack each other as enemies. That's the clever way, unlike...

Pathetic. It's like arguing with a ten year old. Grow up Zlatan. .

Your ignorance and total lack of knowledge of this subject is staggering. Read and learn: "The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was a European organisation created after World War II to regulate the coal and steel industries. It was formally established in 1951 by the Treaty of Paris...

Stop being so silly. Andorra and Iceland have no record of war between them so they are irrelevant to this discussion. The European countries have an appalling record of war stretching back many centuries, and that's what the EU and it's former selfs have successfully stopped happening...

My posting has been entirely about peace within the EU countries of Europe, achieved only by the EU. Russia is not an EU country. And as I posted international peace is nothing to do with the EU, their function is entirely within the sphere of the 27 member countries. There is nothing further...

Now you are being utterly stupid. Europe's 75 years of peace have been entirely due to the European Unity movement. That is why it was started, to achieve that stated objective. It started with the European Coal and Steel Community, developed into the EEC which we joined and then further...
