Civil war might not happen. What might happen though is that Islam gains ascendency in Europe and carries out executions of infidels rivaling the Nazi holocaust. And then, the U.S. will step in and save Europe once again, and the Europeans can go back to sneering at their cousins across the pond.

That would be weird. Europe has been mostly peaceful for millennia.

We're not going back to Europe the third time.

The Royal Family will end up fleeing to Australia.

The EU will fall apart.

Eastern Europe should remain intact.

if not a peaceful expulsion of Islam, it might make sense

Please tell me that you are joking.

It has been underway since 2000, the Europeans are frogs in the boiling Islamic-conquest pot...

It has been happening here in the U.S. since 2008...
Maybe there is still time for the American frogs to leap out of the pot...

If in the summer of 1905, someone would have published an article predicting the total destruction of all of Europe and the fall of the many of the monarchy states with in 40 years, they would have been a laughingstock.

“Civil War Can’t Happen in Europe—Or Can it?”

At the rate they going, it’s their only hope. And we are perilously close ourselves. God help us if anything happens to president Trump.

AfD are just like Republicans? To a Democrat, that means they *are* Nazis.
Even before Trump. Remember all those articles "proving" George W Bush was Hitler?

What AfD is facing is what Democrats in the USA would like to do to Republicans.

And the civil war of Europe started long ago. Except it's more European to call it a class war.

Yes. Europe has been Game of Thrones for 2000 years, at least.

The harder the Germans try to escape the clutches of naziism, the more inexorably they rush headlong into those very clutches.

"History gives us plenty of examples of ruling-class elites who failed to read the signs of the times, and who were swept away in violent social upheavals that they did not see coming."

You mean like the French Revolution?

Once all the Germans were warlike and mean
But that couldn’t happen again
We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then

That comment is so good, Ent.

I lived in Europe twenty five years after the end of World War II. The Europeans still appreciated the Americans' saving them and fancied everything American, but they nevertheless loved to sneer.

Contemporary Europeans still have a love-hate attitude toward their cousins across the pond.

The smartest thing Europeans could do would be to follow Trump's leadership and the path he has set for America, to embrace a MEGA resolve,

But if they were that smart, they wouldn't be in the mess they're in to begin with.

"God help us if anything happens to president Trump."

I agree with you that Trump is priceless and unique, but America has always produced heroes when they were needed. We will again. The secret is liberty, which empowers heroes and allows them to emerge.

Years ago on TV, Oprah asked Trump if he would ever consider running for the Presidency. He replied, "Only if my country really needed me." It did. And the liberty our forefathers established as basic to US law allowed him to come forth and seize the helm.

One of Europe's biggest problems is that they cannot understand liberty and fear their own heroes.
