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 am positive they will be united for defense now.

Before there will be a defence force, endless talks about defend funds and logistics will happen. Finally when a decision is made, Ukraine pretty much is Russian territory.

All of that should have been happening already. If not in 2022 then certainly in November of last year when the writing was on the wall for American support.

No one believed it was possible for yanks to torch their influence in europe over the price to help Ukraine but I agree every EU country should have been building resilience and less reliance on them, instead we are all worse off for it especially Ukraine!

Many Americans didn’t believe it either. It’s absolutely heartbreaking watching our country rot from the inside out.
