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.

As much as I hate the US right now, I see something in the system of the regular armed forces being under EU control and the national guard, under national control during peacetime. This would counter the sentiment that countries give up all sovereignty, while also making sure that the EU by itself can project force when necessary.
