You can’t distinguish between europe and the EU. Europe has a colonial history. The EU was formed with peace and stability in mind.
The atrocities committed by european states across the centuries should be remembered and reparations made to the best possible degree.
The stability that the EU brought to the region should be remembered, lauded and fought for.
Sorry I dont subscribe to your view that once any rvil has taken place in a land that those people can never then be a force for good.

I’m not arguing that Europe doesn’t have the potential for being a force of good, I’m arguing that as of now, it’s simply not. The EU was formed not with peace and stability in mind, but with neoliberalism and anticommunism, otherwise it would have never adhered to NATO and participated in all its military campaigns, both informally (Afghanistan) and formally (Libya and Yugoslavia). If we want to praise a country/region for its peace in the past century, we should praise post-Vietnam-war China.

The EU is not a NATO member. Many of the EU’s members are also NATO members, but not all.

As a Spaniard (country which joined the European Community rather late), I can definitely confirm that it was pretty much explicit that joining NATO was a prerequisite to be accepted in the EU. The EU was born out of the Marshall Plan and of NATO.
