Eight decades without World War III.Where do we stand today?
It’s complicated.But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.
80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must choose it again.@EUCommission
8 decades without world war iii
8 decades of unchecked power concentrated in the hands of 5 rogue states
6 decades of treating taiwan as a second-class citizen, laying the path to invasion
8 decades of an unenforceable concept of human rights based on compromise, and 5 decades of its binding version which allowed each country to choose which human rights it doesn't believe in
8 decades of writing reports that no one reads, about problems no one wants to solve
it's still better than nothing, and most of those (though not all) were compromises they had to make to prevent the un from falling apart. but it's very very far from a room where each of the 8 billion people gets a seat. and preventing wwiii by giving the people who have the power to start it so much undeserved economic and political power that war is no longer in their best interest, is a questionable decision at best. -

Dialog yes, but we also must watch our backs. Since the beginning of 2025, we have seen the world changing more than before, and people's voices are not being heard. -

Today, we must choose it again.@EUCommission They’re fine words you write and hard to disagree with. But the structure of the UN means not everyone gets an equal seat in the room. Real power is reserved to the wealthy/historically powerful nations - and the UN becomes a fig-leaf for their brutality and criminality. The EU, through its complicity in the Gaza genocide, and its habitual acquiescence in US violence, has done as much to delegitimise the authority of the UN as any other government/organisation.

Today, we must choose it again.I'll not joke for your typo (World War III), you stop to joke with our feelings.
I'm European, proud to be part of a dream. I was here when we promised ourselves "NO MORE WAR IN EUROPE and in world".
I was so happy when I saw no more boundaries between countries.
My daughter could travel and work everywhere and feel at home in EU. Wonderful!
It is great, it is the pillow on which WE dream.
But while we, people, are dreaming, you, politics, are fucking everything.
Stop do it. -

oh yes. My dyslexia bring me in error. I'm sorry for that.
@JohanDiederik thank you to correct me.But the sense of my feeling doesn't change.
The current choices of EU are not at the level of our really power, culture, democratic dream and union. The european people are better than their politics, we have higher dreams and objectives.

@svavar @EUCommission I just looked at a map, only one of these 2 is inside Europe...
@onelikeandidie @svavar @EUCommission
Must be Palestine, I just checked the Eurovision website, no entries from The Vatican ever. -
@EUCommission I just talked about 80 years of peace in Europe with my kids. It's unique for Europe to live in peace that long. But maybe that's also the reason we ignore the suffering caused by war as no one is around anymore telling you stories about how it was 80 years ago.
@lordkhan WW2 is 80 years ago and it is true that Europe hasn't had such a large war since then. Are you aware that the Balkan countries, which were hit by war in the 90s, are part of Europe?

Laws are not supposed to be about who you like or not (you seem to like Trump and Netanjahu very much).
If you do not uphold the law, you are actively destroying it, and the institutions that depend on it.

You think dialogue will stop Putin and Trump.
The only thing those power mad persons understand is an adequate reaction.
FORCE THEM TO BACK DOWN OR FACE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES
Dialogue attempts are considered weakness.
You are letting EU Citizens down.

@lordkhan @EUCommission ex-Yugoslavia disagree with your "80 years of peace"
@thinmax @EUCommission no offense intended, sorry for that! For the time being Yugoslavia was considered as a local conflict after the fall of the iron curtain. This doesn't make it less of a war, but it wasn't a large scale conflict all countries were involved.

@lordkhan @thinmax @EUCommission thank you for talking about that. For the people involved and especially civilians it was hell on earth and we failed them.
