    Only out of necessity, Russia has shown that they are done playing the diplomatic game (though they have been playing it quite badly), the US has fully shat it’s pants and is rolling around in it and China has the carving knife ready for when Russia colapses, if Europe is to survive we need to federalize.

    At an absolute minimum, we need to build a unified military under one leadership throughout the EU, military personal from the south must be expected to defend Europe in the north, and vice versa.

    I don’t see this as being right-wing, I see it as it being a reality we need to face.

    I’ll even share a detail about my general political views, out of all ideologies, I strongly believe that Social Democracy is the best, as it combined a strong government with a regulated free market.

      Friend, you need to understand: USA could turn off your F-35.

      Simply, you aren’t prepared for USA turning around.

        No they can’t.

        Sweden doesn’t have F-35’s.

        Neither does France.

        Europe as a whole also have plenty of Eurofighters.

        The US hasn’t really fought any nation with comparable tech and infrastructure since WWII.

        I don’t think they’ll have an easy time doing that.
