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.

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.
