    Hey Vince,

    Eternal arch-enemies Greece and Turkey are now behaving because of the EU. Lifelong foes France and Germany have not fought a war since 1870
    ... before that it was every 20-25 years...

    Err, WW 1 and WW2 springs to mind although they did not last long as the French surrendered quickly after being over run

    That's a goof of the first magnitude, I obviously got carried away in the writing and I stand corrected...

    Trading to end wars works ...

    But my point stands in the sense that Turkey and Greece "had to" wind down the warlike rethoric and also "had to" come to an understanding how to work Cyprus.

    Plus France and Germany since 1948 have become solid trading partners and hostility is nowhere in sight anymore, one of the key-reasons why the fore-runner of the EU was created ... to make foes trading partners and forget about war.

    I should re-read my texts before publishing ... 8-)

    But in a fascist country as Ukraine -- people of national
    minorities started to get orders how they must live from now on.
    This situation is even worse than the situation with Putin's
    regime.

    These people's nationality by every rule in the book was "Ukrainian".

    Ukraine is a stable democratic country with a stable elected
    government. There are elections; wanna change the country? Do it via elections the way we do, the way the whole of the EU does... A
    minority? The rights of minorities are guaranteed in the EU ... let
    Ukraine enter the EU and the rights of the minorities will be
    recognized. It works.
