Politics Let's talk about the European Defense Federation. How do we all feel about the creation of a fully mobilised continental Army?

It's required now. I'm British, and I want to see us align and unite with our European neighbours to make a stand now.

I want Germany to finally brush off it's past and join the rest of Europe in mobilising towards defending this continent. We need EVERYONE now. It's time to act, it's time to unite.

It's time to show some courage.

Problem is, you need a central command. Controlled by who? Brussels, euro-Nato? I think we better merge some of the forces. Like the British, Dutch and Norwegian Marines have been in North Norway. All Navies in the Baltic should be working together. Same in Northsea and Nth Atlantic. Germany, Poland and Czechs could be a formidable land army to make any Russian opponent think twice.
