This comment is ahistorical to an extreme degree. The EU was not founded until 1993.

You could not be more wrong. The EU was built from the ashes of WWII: https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/history_en

the European continent after WWII was rebuilt via the economic engine and output of the United States.

This has nothing to do with the discussion at hand, so I'll take that as a "rah rah America" statement.

Does no-one remember the Balkan wars, and post war scarcity that existed to a more extreme detriment in Eastern Europe than Western?

Well, everybody that survived the balkan wars are sure to remember, and so do their offspring. Again, nothing to do with the subject at hand.
