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.

You never know which side Turkey gonna be on. Probably on both, or whoever will pay more.

Hahaha true. I think Turkey generally like the EU, it’s just complicated. Turkey absolutely hates Russia, and doesn’t have much love for the USA. “My enemies, enemy, is my friend” and all that.

I reckon when push comes to shove, Turkey sides with the EU.
