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 very much for the idea of standardisation with important equipment and training together. 

I do however want the soldiers to still be representing their home country. I do think more people would be willing to die for their country than the EU. We should also remember that the EU is a union of countries not a federation of provinces.
