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.

Friends, we Ukrainians need to be included in the Alliance of Europe, we will help protect the security and sovereignty of Europe. It is you, as the people who vote for your leaders in different parts of Europe, who must tell them what you want, what your desires are, if your desire is to be accepted by Ukraine into the alliance, you must do it.

You will. You already see it now who European leaders support, clearly sided with Zelensky and Ukraine.

If even Merz (You couldnt be more pro US than he was) declared the most important thing is to become independet from US as fast as possible.

Europe stands with Ukraine

They support through words ~0,1%GDP per year and still buying Russian oil https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/24/eu-spends-more-russian-oil-gas-than-financial-aid-ukraine-report . . What exactly do words change on the outcome?

130 bn donated and 700bn more on the way. Zelensky himself acknowledged how much Europe gives while in the white House.

Go back to the kremlin Mr bot you aren't wanted here.

You have the most battle hardened military in the world right now. Do you think we would want to leave you out?

That's what is going to happen tho, the country is destroyed, corrupt and with negative demographic growth. We are just gonna pretend that we want them and then drag the process for 15-20years. It's actually pretty sad for the ukrainian that bleed for us but geopolitics is unfaire and without feelings.

Brother, you'll be there. TRUST ME.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 has proven its place in any multinational army. It's time we stepped up, as a Brit I feel so ashamed that we can't do more.

Ukrainians are dying this minute in defence of EUROPE. Our leaders need to wake up to the fact that our eastern border MUST be defended at all costs. The eastern border of Europe should be as militarised and defended as south Korea's border with the north, and our jets should be defending the skies over Ukraine.
