Don’t get me wrong, Canada, the UK and others are, and in my opinion should remain, close allies with 100% mutual defense. But for the European Union I would like a fully integrated common army, even more than the current NATO and that would not make sense without at least a partial political union, something that the EU already has and that neither Canada nor the UK want
I’m sorry but I think the UK and Canada should not be in that union. Being allies ok, being part of a military union not so much. The European Union must be a strong enough actor and to do so it must have its own aircraft carriers if you understand what I mean.
Well, you’ll see what happens with Trump in the White House. NATO as a collective defense organization is on the verge of failure. Europe has the obligation, if it wants to survive as an independent power, to replace it with its own army, it is an unavoidable imperative.
I don’t know what happens in Germany, but in Spain the media can be sensationalist about the issue sometimes, but official notices usually don’t. They are based on warning colors (yellow, orange, red and special red) when the warning is red there are always problems, not always deaths, but serious traffic problems and property damage at least.
It is true that on some occasions they have made mistakes with warnings that later did not amount to that much and this led to public debate, but these are specific occasions, most of the time when they usually warn they get messed up.
Yesterday the notice was special red
This is the worst storm of the last century. There were maximum danger warnings yesterday starting early in the morning—I saw them from 800 km away. Yet I’m seeing images of people trapped in shopping centers, Ikeas, and similar places, both workers and customers. What on earth were these people doing there? Why didn’t the authorities suspend economic activity? What could possibly be so urgent that you had to buy it at IKEA during a storm like this?

As someone from southern Europe, I’m tempted to feel some satisfaction after Schäuble and Merkel pushed us to the brink between 2008 and 2012. But if there’s one lesson we should have learned since then, it’s that we’re all in this together. I believe Germany should focus its national efforts—supported by the EU if needed—on achieving strong energy independence and reclaiming its position as a symbol of industrial excellence. Anything else will just lead to a lower quality of life for all of us.
Yes, worthy may be a good word to describe it.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, not as good as the first one, but not as bad either.
This is the minimum that Europe should do and as a European I am ashamed that it has not already done it.
At this time only one state has its own troops on the soil of another country without having been invited in the entire Middle East. Everything else is cheap talk that covers up or relativizes the genocidal acts of a criminal state.
Thanks for the information, it seemed extremely strange to me that only those countries condemned something like this
Are you kidding? Israel has killed countless civilians in Gaza, committing obvious crimes like indiscriminately cutting off running water, is invading a sovereign state without the slightest cause accepted by international law, committing crimes as collective punishment. It has been clearly endangering the security of states like Iran in what is a provocation that even the US has protested. But for you it is not the greatest danger to the security of the region, you cannot be serious.
The biggest threat to peace in the region right now is not Iran, it is not them who should be kept out of the territory of another sovereign state
I don’t understand, does that mean that the rest of the EU countries are fine with the IDF targeting UNIFIL? Netherlands? Germany? Austria? Sweden? really?
How much of an idiot do you have to be to attack Wikipedia?
I’m sure the US will protest this time with real energy and will then send another billion in military equipment.
The same in Spanish
Well, I know he has his haters, and it is true that he has had his mistakes, but for me Nolan deserves the benefit of the doubt, he has made incredible films like Dunkerke or Oppenhaimer
As long as NATO exists, the EU will never have a united army.
