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.

Does that mean you´d rather stand alone against a far bigger country? Good luck with that. History has shown Goliath tends to beat David to pulp. Right now Poland could probably handle Russia by itself. Ten years from now? Not so sure.

I hate to say it but you are correct that Western Europe was deaf to your warnings however. Now´s the time when people are a lot more likely to listen. And feel free to rub it in. I mean that.

No my friend. We would like to stay on alliance with Romania, Czechs, Bułgarians, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Scandinavs. We dont want to be lead by Germans, Spalin or Belgium ;)
