    You can’t distinguish between europe and the EU. Europe has a colonial history. The EU was formed with peace and stability in mind.

    The atrocities committed by european states across the centuries should be remembered and reparations made to the best possible degree.

    The stability that the EU brought to the region should be remembered, lauded and fought for.

    Sorry I dont subscribe to your view that once any rvil has taken place in a land that those people can never then be a force for good.

        The EU was formed not with peace and stability in mind, but with neoliberalism and anticommunism, otherwise it would have never adhered to NATO

        The EU is not a NATO adherant/member. Many of the EU’s members are also NATO members, but not all.

            There are countries that joined the EU both before and after Spain that are not NATO members. Membership of one is not a prerequisite for another. If any politicians told you otherwise, ask them why.
