    So, in other words, when you said, “There were no wars in Europe since ww2 until [1993]”, you were in fact completely talking out your arse

      Ok, there were no major wars between the end of the 2nd world war and the formation of the EU. Happy now?

      It was just a casual comment mate, get over yourself

            Maybe look at the date it took effect and actually formed the EU

            Also, to quote a mysterious someone from further up the thread: “The EU was created in 1993.”

              Lol. I don’t give a shit mate. It was a throwaway comment joking about how there were no major wars until the EU was formed.

              Correlation is not causation, it’s not that deep.

                    Sure looked like it. Sure looks like you’ve been proved definitively wrong and now you’re like iT wAs OnLy A jOkE bRo. You sure look like a bad faith commenter who can’t admit they’re wrong, or “twat” if you want to use the shorthand.
