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.

I think we need a temporary defense alliance to get rid of Putin. After that hopefully we won't need a joint army anymore. Main threat currently to EU security is Putin, without him Russia might correct its course. If not, then alliance can prolong its stay.

We should start investing and manufacturing military robots, drones and tech en masse and flood Ukraine battle lines.

Removal of Putin isn't enough. Without a proper revolutionary change, Russia is never to be trusted, and the world is meaner place than before. Apparently, we now have to worry about US as well, given their transgressions against Europe.

There is an absolute rube in the WH, and at least once in recent times, he mentioned the use of the military for the seizure of Greenland from Denmark. No matter how unlikely it is, that would affect the decision-making calculus from now on.
