The peace argument, I mean is there a more childish argument to use in politics?

It was the biggest argument used by the pro-EU side when we in Sweden had the popular vote about whether to join the EU or not in 1994 or so (this argument together with the economical argument lol, that we'd be isolated economically if we wouldn't join the EU).

But it worked, we we're tricked into the EU. For nothing good whatsover. Nothing! Instead we've been paying 2 billion Euro per year in membership fees and subsidies, plus having regulations that we don't need forced upon us.

Thanks to the EU we didn't get another Hitler in power, right? lol. It's just so stupid.

As if we would need the EU for the UK, Germany and France to never go to war against each other again. Such a joke. Not even USA got into war against Russia in 40 years of Cold War and it wasn't even close that they would.

Cuban Missile Crisis

Also that one time that the Soviet radar network malfunctioned and detected a mass warhead launch by the US, and only one Soviet military officer's intuition made the difference between total global annihilation.

We like to talk about how MAD saved the world in the Cold War, but really it's a miracle that the industrialized world still exists.

You don't get the Nobel Peace Prize for being perfect. Peace isn't about perfection, and the winners don't have to be saints. They do, however, have to be trying. The European Union strains, but the EU stands for now, and the Prize Committee is trying to give them a call of encouragement.
