Bombs, revolutions and dictatorships without the EU? And especially in V4 (most related to the article)?
Please, read about history and geopolitics in Europe. The idea that in stable democracies created by peaceful means (Velvet revolution, Contract Sejm, Round Table Talks), 15 years after these events some dictator with bombs would materialize, were it not for EU, is simply ridiculous.
And using Ukraine as an example of what it would be like without having EU peacekeeping in other countries is even more grotesque. The events in Ukraine unfolded in the way they did due to the political games between West and Russia, including foreign-supported politicians from both sides, and gas transit extortion. EU was very involved in all of that.
