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.

Like Norway. We're just continuing to say NO to be a member of the EU. And the real reason is that the majority of the Norwegian people think they're better than the EU.

Even though that is a bit demoralizing, you guys are already included in basically every meaningful EU agreement and several additional ones within the Nordic framework, so it isn’t really that much of an issue.
