The founding fathers, and they were all men back then, of the then Common Market went that extra ‘mile’ to create a community of nations that would make it its objective to create an environment of peace.
Those leaders had lived through the terror of two world wars and had seen firsthand the terror unleashed by Hitler and Stalin too, even if he did play a significant role in the defeat of Germany.
In recent years there have been times when the renamed/rebranded European Union has received bad press.
Populists, nationalists and the far right have decried the EU and its aspirations. There have been those who have concentrated too much on the economic aspects of the Union.
It has taken Vladimir Putin to show the world all that is good and positive about the European Union.
A Europe without a European Union is unthinkable in these days during terror and brutality of Vladimir Putin.
The European Union is doing today exactly what it was designed to do.
