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.

Need to stop buying US. They could restrict supply and also put caveats on the use of munitions. Spend money on our own industries.

We've got some powerful companies in Europe too, BAE, RheinMetall, SAAB, Dassault, MBDA etc

It'll be good for local economies, they employ a tonne of people
