    The Taiwanese think differently. Flecc How come Andorra and Iceland have managed to avoid war? And now we are not in EU are we any more likely to go to war with Germany? (again?) Utter rubbish.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, it's you being ridiculous saying Germany hasn't attacked France because they are in EU. USSR wasn't in EU and didn't attack Germany?? Why not? Because it was worried EU might discuss it at Brussels. We aren't in EU are we going to invade France? Of course not. EU has done nothing toward...

    Well that hasn't happened in last 75 years Woosh.. But don't try and convince me. Tell Australia, every European country, NATO, America, China etc etc. Are there any countries that don't spend on defence? Its so easy to sit here and pontificate about how we don't need arms, nuclear weapons...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ha Habitually offensive with nothing to add to argument. Normal for you OG. Do you want Europe to stop spending on defence to rely on the EU message or not. Yep, it's great having high ideals as no doubt we all have. Can you guarantee Russia, North Korea, Taliban, Isis, China have similar...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's a very risky argument to make. We have enjoyed peace in Europe since 1945...I believe about the longest period we have ever enjoyed.. Would you want to be the country that went first in throwing its arms away... I certainly wouldn't. I, ll carry on hoping that having threat of a response...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, the EU has suggested countries don't go to war. Neighbours spending, history, NATO and nuclear arms have kept it. Ridiculous to say EU has kept peace. They don't have any capability, do not spend on defence and their strongest aspect... Requesting countries do certain things, which we...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You attribute peace in Europe to EU then openly admit NATO has been responsible for its defence. You see EU as responsible, I suspect NATO along with France's, UK's, German's, Spain's and, Italy's considerable spending on military... Just allows fools to think EU has kept peace. Its done no such...

    Nazis believed in the occult too. Do you want to give a argument about how silly that was . As usual missing point and arguing about a point not made.. And in depth. "The Nazis believed" I think you, ll find their argument re Aryans was debunked... Didn't stop them believing they were the super...

    So why has EU walked into a situation of being totally dependant on NATO?. No doubt much of your post is correct but whichever way you interpret it EU just doesn't have the world wide influence it should. And of course Danidl I, m not talking about influencing or changing what's happening in...

    What difference does our contribution make to the World power known as EU? Putin holds us and the EU in complete contempt. He couldn't careless whether we are in or out of EU, it makes no difference at all to him. He might interfere for sheer devilment but as for strategic goals to get us out...
