> The EU was holding world peace.

I can't fathom where you got that from.

> Iraq, war on oil. Isreal funded by US arms

All true, and the EU complicit in all of those. Maybe not by choice (see remark about sovereignty at the end), but complicit nonetheless. You also forgot Syria, Yemen, Yugoslavia and probably a few others as well.

> Russia owns Trump and Russia wants the EU dead.

Sorry, but this is not Reddit.

> By no means should the EU get cosy with the US.

The EU has no choice other than be "cosy" with the US. It's called Pax Americana.

In simple terms, the deal is this and always has been this since WW2 ended: the EU has traded political sovereignty for security, to and from the US.



> Russia owns Trump and Russia wants the EU dead.

What's Reddit to do with anything? Trump is a failed businessman.

His business have failed and Russia bought him out. This was evident back in 2008 and it's evident now and ever since the 80's.

Russia wants Trump as his backhand man and that's what they got. America wants freedom yet at the same time they're happy to accept brokerage from a man who dreams of an neo-USSR.

world peace was a rush mix of words. What I mean at least they held stability of the world stage.

> EU is complicit

I'm not saying the EU is a saint. The EU has an agenda and evils of its own. But as a figurehead and representation of many countries up on the world stage it held a positive power.

Countries could count on the nation for relief unlike any other.
