i got one Question whats the difference between the EU and the UN?

[saulpaulus]

@gato123452 The UN is a deliberative body composed of member nations from around the world who--hopefully--work together to resolve problems & promote the common good. The EU is a union of European nations that have ceded sovereignty to varying degrees to form an economic and recently political, military, and diplomatic union.

since the EU we didnt had a war in europe

[saulpaulus]

@19834883 I am concerned about right wing extremism....in Europe & in the US. I am also concerned that Europe could breed militant Islamic terror cells. Having said that, there is no comparison between the EC & the USSR. The USSR crushed freedom of expression throughout the Warsaw Pact & entirely subjugated peoples throughout central & eastern Europe as Russia still does in Chechnya. The EC has been a force for peace & prosperity that has kept peaceful a region wracked by the 2 worst wars ever.

@gato123452 EU is for every countries of Europe that are in a Democracy. The UN is for every Nations across the world who agree to insure human rights and are willing to help other Nations to insure peace across the world. They also are willing to give some of their soldiers to NATO to help inforce human rights accross the glob. Some countries in the UN may only be interested in oil and other resorces. But in the EU, only a fue countries lie, and it never ends well once they do.

[motormonkeyNL]

@mantuskas Yugoslavia wasnt part of the EU

@saulpaulus P.S. Just to help you to avoid offending, in particular, Hungarians, Czechs or Slovaks, never say that these countries are Eastern European - they are culturally and politically Central European. In particular coming from an Amercan it can be perceived in a very negative way, given that Churchill's call for continuing to Moscow was quashed by the US and thereby leaving these states to, what Rooseveld called, the "progressive state" of the Soviet Union. It's good to keep in mind.

Svara på det här videoklippet... "BTW, I am of German and Swiss German ancestry, so this is not bias on my part." Well, I'm not talking about being biased or defending a country or an area. I'm talking about ideas and the CURRENT situation in Europe - of which you apparently know very little. Support your earlier statements - come on, put a little bit of effort into this and maybe you even get interested in and become knowledgeable about European politics. Who knows...

@saulpaulus Your general racist designation just don't work here. That's why I ask you specific questions, which you don't answer. Give me the exact quote of Sarrazin and where he expressed it. I know that he has pointed out that the culture of Islam nurtures stupidity. But it's quite obvious that a person who believes that all the answers could be found in the Coran and who rejects any critical thinking neglects his own intellect and falls into stupidity. Islam = submission = not questioning.
