The American president Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace price. He was the first active Commander in Chief, leading the military actions in Iraq en Afghanistan (secretly in Yemen and Pakistan), who got that price. At the moment of his accepting speech a car bomb exploded in
Baghdad, Afghan villages were bombed and drones circled over Pakistan.
In 2012 the Norwegians gave the price to the European Union. More that 60 years of peace and prosperity, guaranteed by the (now 27) members of the Union. The price was a boost of morale. Economically and financially the Union is on the brink of collapse. The only escape is “a great leap forward”. More economic collaboration, one European banking system and more centralization. The citizens of Europe will one day wake up in a totalitarian system. Remember, George Orwell, who wrote. “Imagine the future. A booth kicking in your face. Forever!”
There should be a Nobel price for History and Hypocrisy.
Untill the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the European Union and its military counterpart “Nato”, were armed to the teeth and prepared for a war against Russia. This focus is lessened a bit, but together the European Union spends, yearly, billions of euro's, to secure the peace, through military spending.
During this sixty years, Europe seemed in peace. Except of course for French colonial expeditions, the war over the Falkland islands and former Yugoslavia. This was a dirty war, in which soldiers of allied European countries, participated and played an important role (bombing of Belgrade or Srebrenica). Apart from this, the European countries participated and still participated in the Iraq conflict, Afghanistan (war on terror) and recently Libya. Supporting the Syrian rebels will only be a matter of time.
In no way, this fits in no way a Union of Peace. It is a Union of economical, financial and imperialistic warfare. “Alle Menschen werden Bruder”, but no through capitalistic imperialism, that only strengthens the rich and enslaves the rest (global).
