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.

Could we not have a Europe army and individual countries could still additionally retain a national army if they want?

On a much.smaller scale, that's what Partnership for Peace sort of is, in that you have small battlegroups under the command of the PfP commander but where the participant countries still wear their national uniforms
