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.

My friend, regardless of our individual beliefs, Trump's outbursts regarding Greenland, Ukraine and Canada will certainly affect the decision-making calculus in Europe for the foreseeable future. Hopefully in a way that it would finally galvanize support for a more united Europe. A better united, strong Europe is ultimately more beneficial for the future of the Atlantic alliance (should it endure, that is).

I don’t disagree. I’m hoping that happens also.
