    Can Europe have… A civil war? Doesn’t civil war have to be within a single country? Doesn’t that just make it… War?

      No no, civil as in “dear sir/madam, I hope this declaration of war finds you well. our nation thinks that your nation is not as worthy of being a nation as our nation’s worthiness, and henceforth we will be dispatching our people to pillage your land, which will become our land in quite short order. please, do not resist. fondest regards, your attacker”
