What does the rise of nationalism have to do with the war? Do you expect some of these parties to try invading their neighbours?

My point is more that people seem to no longer consider war even a possible scenario. As such the weakening on the EU is not seen as a huge problem by many, because as we all know Europe is not at all historically prone to spontaneously bursting into flames.
In a way your comment which, if I read it correctly, implies "surely you don't think that the rise of nationalism could lead to wars" kind of proves my point. It totally could, and I'd add fairly easily. The peace we have is not as solid as it may seem, especially with dwindling resources and the rise of new superpowers in the East.
Your point is only made because you choose to reinterpret my words. Sure, nationalusm could lead to wars, so could many other things. How is nationalism any more certain to do so?
