The tweet you quoted is from October 13th 2012, which was the day after the European Union was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its role in advancing peace, democracy and human rights in Europe [www.theguardian.com] The tweet expresses support for the EU and criticizes those who deny its achievements or compare its current challenges to the horrors of war. The tweet may have been motivated by some of the events that were going on precisely on that date, such as:

• The escalating violence and humanitarian disaster in Syria, which had claimed more than 30,000 lives and displaced more than 1.2 million people since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in March 2011 [eur-lex.europa.eu] The EU had imposed sanctions on the Syrian regime and supported the efforts of the UN and the Arab League to find a peaceful solution, but had also faced criticism for its lack of a coherent and effective strategy to end the conflict [eur-lex.europa.eu]
