"Time for Europe to retake her own Destiny" - Europe Once Again Shows How Utterly Reliant It Is On Everyone Else But Itself

Politics is downstream from culture, so that needs to change. Cultivate a euronationalism and so on

Can't cultivate euronationalism when you proved that you care more about terrorists on other continents than about your own population

Many EU countries are deep in debt. Macron can say all the right things, but French debt is exploding. Same for Italy. We just don't have the fiscal space to reduce taxes

Have you considered kicking out all the migrants that are a net drain on your national budget?

We're simping for NATO for some ungodly reason

Maybe bc it's your ENTIRE defense strategy?

And why is America the only defense strategy we have?

We are taking too long to strengthen our relations even more. We need an army at European level and we need to stop trusting that the USA will come to save us. We also need our own payment system and not rely on the American one so that we don't end up like Russia...

Why start with Army first? Is that a democracy we want? For start - EU needs to restore it's dignity and stop jumpin around when USA says - jump

If there was some principals in past - nothing of this would be needed.. Nor we would have this talk now

Because too many r-slurs here believe you can build a strong country with just words and virtualsignaling

Politicians move when they have political reasons to move and European citizens are just too spoiled to make necessary sacrifices to make sure that we are prepared for the future. A lot of people are still against increasing defense spending because it also means spending less in wellfare

A reasonable comment But let's see the replies too

I couldn't agree more.

It's very hard to get people to prioritise for the future when current times are tough. Especially when the instinct of most politicians is to look good for their term, but not the far future.

We see it with climate goals too. But increasingly with defense as you say. Suddenly the US is playing for the other team, and Europe looks increasingly isolated and weak.

Seeing Trump and Putin cheerily dividing up Ukraine between them will hopefully be waking our politicians and our people up.

Yeah, we're fricked, so who wants a free colony? Nobody here is capable of defending shit, the population is already enslaved and obedient, you just need to remove the current politicians and you're good to go

We can do without corny and nonsensical nationalism.

I agree. We need more corny and nonsensical Liberalism.

Stop with the weird fascist imperial shit

Can we stop reverting back to fascism every time we see a brown person we don't like?

We won't do shit. We'll get some committees, have big meetings, write some fancy white papers, share snappy one-liners and even decide on some loose plan we title something like "Europe 2030".

Then we won't do shit and hope this whole politics and war and economy stuff blows over.

Europe was always a meme country
