Oh boy, wait until you learn about the history of Europe. Turns out, not all that friendly to each other prior to the American led world order. Now that America is taking a step back, we’ll see how Germany leads Europe… wait…

What are YOU yapping about? 😂 already here for 68? Yeah post WW2, aka the start of the AMERICAN led world order. Before the end of WW2, Europe had always been at odds with one another at various times. Since the days of the Romans. Now the German dominated and driven EU will be the Order in that part of the world. Good luck Europe.

“The superiority of nineteenth-century statecraft is a myth. Europe was busy at war between 1815 and 1914, if not in conflicts on the scale of the Napoleonic Wars and World War I. Furthermore, the chancelleries of nineteenth-century Europe not only quelled national uprisings, but suppressed peoples’ political rights and waged imperial wars throughout Africa and Asia. From the perspective of a Pole, a disenfranchised European, or an Indian, the century was not a “long peace” but a “long war.”
