Yes Mr Cynic This is true, but do you see any wars between the EU countries on the horizon? We will break the 100 year barrier before you know it!

France and the UK just formed a "defense union" which lets both countries cut back national defense expenditure. I think it's a question of time before Germany and Spain joins this.

There's been talk about a joint EU defense since the 1990s but people were not ready for it. I think it will happen. When that's complete, then there definitely won't be any internal wars within the EU.

In my view, Europe has no enemies other than poverty in Africa and wars in the Middle East creating millions of would-be migrants and refugees that we cannot accommodate.
