Trump and his rat Vance are unifying Europe. Well done Trump. Helping to build a strong Europe completely Independent of the US in terms of military strength and troops. May take a few years but with every day that passes Europe will be stronger.
She will present a comprehensive plan on rearming Europe at the special EU defense summit this coming Thursday.
She says the leaders had a “good and frank discussion”, discussing what is needed to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine needs **“comprehensive security guarantees”**, supporting its economic and military positions.**“we urgently have to re-arm Europe”**, and the commission will propose a plan on this at the European Council on 6 March, as she says “we really have to step up massively”.
“It is now of utmost importance to step up the defence investment for a prolonged period of time. It’s for the security of the European Union, and we need … in the geostrategic environment in which we live, to prepare for the worst, and therefore stepping up the defences,” she says.
Asked about her message for the US, she said “we are ready, together with you, to defend democracy and the principle that there is a rule of law, that you cannot invade … and bully your neighbour or cannot change borders with force.”
Do we expect any decisions to be made regarding European defense after this meeting?
And time for that is now, less talk more action.
But I am curious about how fast we’ll federalize after 2029 when the Von der Leyen commission implements the Draghi and Letta reports and rearmed Europe.
Enough talking, DO SOMETHING!
It has been urgent for the last 3 years at least.
President Ursula of the EU council is absolutely correct.
A united and strong Europe will be a force of good for our world. My only worries is how that can be achieved in a short term, especially as next decade or two will be turbulent.
All the best wishes and support for the Europeans 🙂
The US seems to be systematically turning every ally against itself. In return it’s got plastic straws and something about trans people…
Preferable with not US arms either, as that just prolongs to dependency.
In Spain we have an option to dedicate a part of our income tax to the Catholic Church or to Social Initiatives. The Catholic Church doesn’t really need more money than they already have, as well as the property tax exemptions, etc.
We should propose to voluntarily dedicate a part of our income tax for our defense efforts instead of the Church. It may sound crazy, but it’s a loooooot of money every year
All this talk is useless if the “plan” is for the Council to approve the funding, the organization etc., which means appeasing the traitorous Russian satellite states of Hungary and Slovakia.
EIN KONTINENT
A wildly high number of Americans don’t seem to know the main reason for US’s military status as top dog is because it is able to project its power across the globe very quickly and thus fight on multiple fronts. It can do so, however, only through its footholds in allied nations. If Europe restricts air and sea, your projection is severely limited.
While she is right, she was a very bad defensive minister in Germany. So don’t leave the rearming in her hands pls or 95% of the budget gets eaten by consultants
Definitely. If Ukraine lose, they will invade Europe for more. If Ukraine won, their government collapsed somehow, new dictators will probably want war to divert domestic struggle. Also their economy is shit, so either it’s war economy forever or American revive their economy so they will boasted to want more from Europe. If stalemate continue, then he might try invade baltics instead, like how Hitler fell in the south so they went north to give it a try. There’s no winning against this, it’s only a matter of time before Russia invade Europe. Ceasefire if can be negotiated will definitely be broken, and there won’t be ceasefire without Europe’s security guarantees but America is not on board and Russia is not afraid of Europe alone, so next time they broke ceasefire will be European war immediately. Just get ready.
I hope we do with European weaponry; it would be a shame to pump hundreds of billions of dollars in the American weapons industry. One of the reasons the European weapons industry is middling is because we’re buying so much American and there is just a lack of European investment.
Wasn’t she the defence minister of Germany and gutted the Bundeswehr?
And we in the UK could have helped out with this by staying in the EU but no morons decided to listen to Russian Puppet Nigel Farage!
Flinten Uschi is back
Words, press conferences, strong signals, etc.
Temu Tilda van der Meer saying the right thing? We live in interesting times.
Since June 2024 same message. Please take an action!
Call me crazy but to me it looks like a USA victory. They wanted to push an European rearm and we are actually doing it – even if yesterday we were against it
Europe (and Canada, and Mexico, for that matter) needs to arm itself against the US. I’m an American but this all feels like it’s not going to end very well. Historically speaking, unless our spineless Republicans stand up to Trump, we’re headed for WWIII.
Where have I heard this before.
Make Europe Great Again
Here is the backdoor tricK: Ask Israel to send weapons to Ukraine, the USA can not stop themselves from refilling Israel weapon stock. ^^
I am glad, but also sad tbh.
Glad that it is finally happening and that EU is waking up. But man, all of this effort should have been focused on advancing technology and development. But it aint that kinda world sadly
Ok so now you all know which stocks you have to invest in 🙂
We needed to start in 2022 at the latest. It would have been even better if WE hadn’t scrapped the Cold War stock ( the legal successor of the USSR didn’t ), but that’s spilt milk under the bridge.
I want to know who is going to operate this military equipment. Do you think the youth of Europe are going to fight and die for their countries?
Wow. They are finally talking about what the Americans have been trying to get them to do for years. Wonder if they will actually do it
Says one of the most repugnant people in EU. Regrettably she is not wrong though. The real question comes who is behind the gun much like the tech and how do they intend to use it. Last, this is an engineered situation. They want to kill ordinary people, too many of the wrong kind of persons in planet earth, hence the near silence in genocide.
With all due respect, Ursula was Minister of Defense here in Germany and knows exactly how poorly we are positioned. Now demanding improvements is great and I support this, but it also feels somewhat hypocritical when she states it like that. Why not 3 years ago? Why not 2014? Better now then never. But it also feels like just a reaction to the orange toddler overseas.
I can imagine an elder German pensioner walking in the arms factory he used to work during the Cold War, opening the door and saying: “Meine Herren, wir sind wieder da!”
