Today marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, when a devastated but defiant continent celebrated the defeat of Nazi Germany. London danced, Churchill smiled (cigar in hand), and peace rang louder than bombs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK, limited in means but rich in resolve, didn\u2019t back down in 1940 \u2014 and isn\u2019t doing so now either, even with Russian threats reshuffling the chessboard of Europe. Meanwhile, on the continent, the 2025 EU \u2014 peaceful, well-dressed, and mostly led by women \u2014 is still meeting, discussing, coordinating\u2026 or at least trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one wants war again \u2014 thank God \u2014 but on this historic day, it\u2019s fair to ask:
If history came knocking once more\u2026 would we be ready \u2014 or stuck in meeting?
