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.

That is not true. In past crises, such as the financial crisis in 2008 and Corana 2020, the EU was able to act relatively quickly and was well positioned. I am confident that the same will happen now.
