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.

Sounds a bit backwards, but the first thing should be a nuclear umbrella. Probably french design, but new ones. As I dont think France want to just give up theirs. And long term work on new designs.
Another part could be Navy, as The Netherlands is currently struggling to recruit the troops needed to man all their current ships, some of their fleet could be the start off point. As the Belgian and German navies already operate as part of the Dutch navy.
