1) Germany, France, Holland and Benelux form a new German Empire, called EU Tier One. Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Greece etc become colonies of the German Empire (referred to as EU Tier 2, to save face).
2) Britain leaves the EU and storms off into the middle of the Atlantic in a high dudgeon. Lib Dems still bang on about reform of the House of Lords.
3) US economy falters and this, combined with emphasis on the Pacific, forces withdrawal of all US forces from Europe.
4) NATO collapses
5) Turkey and The Russian Federation join forces to conquer Middle East
6) Tony Blair becomes President of the EU
7) Gog and Magog meet at the battle of Armageddon
8) President Glen Beck's head spins through 360 degrees as he begs the Lord to make him His instrument
9) All out nuclear exchange results in the destruction of Mankind
10) Geese inherit the Earth.

Would it really take a long post to make the point that geese who advocate for equality with ganders are being hypocritical when they also demand additional courtesies?
But, you're probably right. I would likely bloviate.

It seems the traditional belligerents, GB, FR, Italy and Germany, have mended fences. But, is that true? Could we see more war among them?
The old Austro-Hungarian Empire broke up, and has been scuffling every so often ever since, the last time in the 1990s, with the Kosovo war, Serbia and Bosnia, etc. Could war spread to the rest of Europe?
Any thoughts? Are the Euros too grown up and enlightened for war among themselves these days?
It is worrisome.
But I work hard and try to foster both peace and understanding among the White nations so that we don't have anymore open warfare on our fellow Whites.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Bravo man, Bravo!

Seriously,I was there last month and there are wild chickens every where. Even in the KFC parking lot. Ever since the hurricane a few years back chickens escaped to the island and are breeding. The island populace not being poor probably helps also.

Since WWII, every decade that passes, fewer people are involved in warfare. The last couple years have been the most peaceful in human history, in terms of the number of people actually on the battlefield.
If this is a genuine long term trend, which it appears to be, then the likelihood of any serious wars in the foreseeable future is low.
For every human action, there is a rationalisation and a reason. Only sometimes do they coincide.
Do genocides like what Israel is doing in the Gaza strip count as 'wars'?
I suppose what you mean is that big countries with big armies no longer shoot each other resulting in massive casualties. They just invade small, mostly defenceless, countries. Naturally casualties of 'war' drop as far fewer invading soldiers are killed. This is slightly offset by the civilian casualties on the opposing side, but a net gain for world 'peace'.
