Did you know?

It was Churchill, who came up with the original idea way back in 1953, for the EU, as a response to the soviets?

It was Churchill, but it was in 1946, and it was nothing to do with the soviets, but as a way to stop European wars breaking out every

20 years, and it worked.

Drivel. It was nuclear weapons and NATO prevented further world wars. Nothing to do with the EUSSR.

Nothing to do with it. What stopped that was:

1) The Soviet threat, which concentrated peoples' minds

2) NATO.

Using playground terms like that undermine any argument you want to make.
