germany certainly has plenty of previous in this theatre of interest, although pretty unsuccessful...although at the last attempt to to take over europe they did pretty well using lies and deciet under cover of the eussr but got scuppered at the last knockings on June 24th (another bad day in german history)

...lets see her deal with this one and see if she can get a win for once !

I think the phrase 'at war' - although true in the strict definition of the term - is misused here.

Similar to Bush's ludicrous 'war on terror' - you cannot actually fight a war against an idealism, or against a nebulous organisation with a shadowy power structure.

But - it sounds good - and infers a sense of response and an intention to 'win' - neither of which are meaningful, but make excellent sound bites, which politicians love.

They can't be. We all know that the EU has single handedly abolished war ever since it was formed.

Do you have a response to the Question, or are you simply popping up to make comments that are not connected to anything?

Well it's not a conventional war, Merkel wont be firing up the Panzers, but a war it is.

This was declared on us years ago by Daesh - but the West ignored it.

The argument about the definition of war is pointless. The west is under attack and it’s high time we acknowledged it and responded appropriately.
