Sunnis and Shias hate each other and love killing one another.

Do you agree with this theory?


According to Google ..

125 major wars were fought in the European theater between 1500AD and 1900AD... Thats an average of about once every 4 years...

So Europe has seen its longest peaceful period after WWII in the previous 500 years...

I think you have found your answer...

Well Turkey would invade Greece the same day the US left. Hell they legally invaded Cyprus while in NATO, no one did anything to stop it.

Hungary should reclaim some of it's old boundaries. It used to have neighboring lands in all it's surrounding countries except Austria I think

Are you suggesting there hasn’t been a war in Europe since WWIi?

Europe is done. No real reason to launch a frontal attack when they are letting you though their gaping back door.

The 5% must make up all the barber population of Germany. These Turkish assholes own every single barbershop here.

I don’t know if any country would fight, but France always is the first to surrender.

That is a bit of a myth and using the word always makes it inaccurate. Without the help of Google list all the times they surrendered in a war.

The French get shite on for getting absolutely rolled by Hitler (as they should), and their subsequent performance in some of the colonial conflicts (North Africa and Vietnam). In reality ever since the fall of the Western Roman Empire, “France” and its previous iterations have been the preeminent military power of the continent, essentially from the time the Franks migrated into Gaul up until the last 100 or so years. Sure, there times where the Holy Roman Empire or Britain might have over shadowed them, but they were still more than capable of holding their own in a war with any of the powers.

I think even that is oversold IMO. First, there was a lot of anti-Russia sentiment in France which underpinned the Vichy. Second, while it was a strategic retreat the BEF bugging out back across the channel during the Battle of France had to be an incredible morale blow to the French. Also while the French Resistance is often given too much credit it wasn't an insignificant force. England would likely have been next had it not been for the channel between them and the German horde. Last but not least you have to consider the Herculean task it was to beat back the Axis in Europe underscored by the loss of 10 million Allied military and 4 times that in civilian costs. That would be 5 times the number of soldiers in the French military at the beginning of WWII and also consider the number of civilian deaths in the European theater was equal to the entire French population at the time.

It is a bit like calling Merab Dvalishvili a surrender monkey if he tapped out fighting Tom Aspinall after only a few strikes.

We’re getting a short glimpse right now, of what happens in Europe when the US decides to back off some.
