Re: Why the EU can never replace NATO (none / 0)

And one must of course, as in all insurance matters multiply the risk with the expected damage. 1% is not necesarilly full scale invasion and occupation of the entire country, but conflicts are not black and white. There is a wide spectrum of scales of grey between the deepest peace and nuclear war.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: Why the EU can never replace NATO (none / 0)

Further, the risk can be both reduced or increased radically if we have a strong defence on one hand or if we are a security black hole on the other.

As the old saying goes: every country has an army - its own or somebody elses.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
