  3. Let’s keep it that way forever. There has been enough fighting.

  4. Man, I just hope it stays this way. With the rise of nationalists all over the EU, nothing is a given any more.

  6. They’re holding hands as Helmut Kohl and Francoise Mitterrand fami did in the 80’s during a WWII remembrance ceremony. At that time the scars from both world wars were still relatively fresh and that gesture became the symbol of European rebirth

  8. Hm.. so far. Considering the uprise of fascism in Germany and their Auslander raus politics. Do you think that some country would interfere if Germans gave another go on their minorities? Or would just stand and watch, saying that it is not their business.

  9. If you think about it we only have war because someone said so and other people listened to them

  10. I was expecting AC/DC and Metallica on their T-Shirts though

  11. People forget that until WWII, almost every generation in France was going to war; it was just a fact of life. People don’t appreciate peace enough.

  13. Seems unnecessary to hark back to WW1 when there’s currently the biggest conflict since WW2 being fought in Ukraine

  14. Scottish, and came here to say how lovely it is to get to play with our European family – regardless of the absolute mannschafting last night, you even gave us a sympathy Eigentor. X

  15. I have a 5yo at home who has a children’s book on the EU and keeps saying how cool the EU is. I tell her that it is because her grandparents, her uncle and her soon-to-be-aunt live in another EU country and it facilitates so much.

  17. I just arrived from sightseeing the Verdun area. It would be really good that every European paid a visit to the site to avoid temptations on repeating the same history again.

  18. If only we didnt have over a million people in trenches fighting every minute for over two years, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    This feels so blunt.

  19. England shouldn’t have intervened in WW1. It would have been over a lot sooner and we wouldn’t have had the rise of Nazism in Germany and Communism in Russia that came out of that conflict. 

  20. It’s ironic because they once had a football game on a war field.

    We are all just competitive tribes. We should be thankful we are mature enough to channel that in non lethal ways, and let’s keep it that way
