Ha, there isn't going to be another war in Europa proper. Trust me, no european wants another war.

You can have that in the US because the US doesn't typically pay the price of war, and the country knows it. The greek people know they will pay the price for invading Germany. And that price is enormous.



WWI exacted a high price that people never wanted to pay again.

The fact that it is now named with a number tells you how that worked out.

Europe needs to go more than a few decades before it can declare itself the kingdom of peace.


And everybody tried to run WWII in such a way that we would never end up like WWI.

We now know that that isn't possible. We know that the cost of bombed cities, etc is prohibitily high.
