Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for the creation of a unified European military force, saying the continent must be self-reliant amid a persistent threat from Russia and uncertainty about U.S. support – a situation he described as “this new reality.”

    We need three things to build real military power in Europe.

    1. France must put its nuclear capabilities at the service of the whole.
    2. France must put its permanent seat at the UN at the service of the whole
    3. The whole must create a power that is sufficiently centralised and at the same time representative of the European people and their interests.

    If you see this as viable, this option is viable. I choose to believe that all of this is an opportunity to make it happen.

      Id say that the UK also needs to remove their heads from their asses and realise that they are part of Europe and act accordingly. Their ego over their past empire is poisoning them slowly. They are too powerful for Europe to not have but too weak to truly stand on their own.

        United Kingdom does not want to be part of the EU, and obviously we will not force them, if one day they change their minds they will be welcome but in the meantime the others cannot continue waiting and we must move now, now, without delay
