Europe: Will things be better with a European War or without a European War?

When you see the jubilant pictures on the streets at the start of World War One you see how stupid people can be when it comes to war. They were talking about heroism, adventure, glory and in the end there were piles of corpses of those seeking heroism, adventure and glory.

More than a hundred years later, we see either jubilant faces or faces of people who are oblivious to the dangers of another catastrophic war happening again.

If anything, during World War One and after World War One, and during and after World World Two there were massive changes. Don't believe for a second that life will be the same. The ways of life of today will be history. If the idea was to maintain what was, those who wanted wars or were forced to fight wars deluded themselves. Much of what they cared about was wiped out by war itself.

Britain went to war to defeat Germany and at the end, despite being classed as victorious, Britain was defeated. Families destroyed, the economy ruined, a vast amount of debt to be paid for many years to come and the colonial empire lost. Britain was one of the victors, but at what price? Most of Europe was defeated. From then onwards it was about USA and Soviet Union. For many decades to come, decisions were made in USA and in Moscow, and Britain had to follow and pay for the consequences. Today, the picture is bigger - USA, Russian Federation and China - but Britain is still forced to follow and pay for the consequences.

Adolf Hitler wanted a European Union controlled by Germany. So what is today's European Union? Which is the key country in the European Union? Who has a greater say in the European Union? Most of Europe still has to please the USA. Will war in Europe change that? Rearming Europe - we hear a lot about that - sounds like a very familiar idea. Where and when did we hear such idea before? Olaf Scholz promised hundred of billions of Euros to rear Germany. What does this mean? Will a stronger Europe be so docile? What happens when European armies are tested once again on the battlefield. Once the genie is out of the bottle it will not willingly go back into the bottle. Once German armies are on the battlefield the Pandora's box will be opened.
