[Spok]

The history of Europe is nothing but one bloody war after another. The current generation doesn't remember life under the Nazi's or trench warfare, so they're destined to repeat it. This is nothing new; it's the attitude that fueled immigration to the New World. Every gene pool in Europe with any brains or guts has been wiped out or has left.

[Polybius]

The history of Europe is nothing but one bloody war after another.

It was........Until the Pax Americana.

Now, after over 60 years of being protected by America, the Europeans have lost not only ability but also the will to fight even if only to save themselves.
