    This has to be the way forward for European countries. Also, integrate defense doctrines with the perspective of a joint army.

      The West can’t trust America anymore when they used to be the most reliable partner which shows that everyone needs to reduce their reliance on external states as much as possible.

      We relied on Russia for energy when they weren’t a friendly country. We still rely on China for tech and manufacturing and they can’t be described as friendly. And then we find out that we’re too reliant on USA who also turned out to be unfriendly.

        Within Europe we need to trust one another, otherwise each one of us is a small, insignificant country facing giants. How would Slovenia or Portugal ever develop their own figther jets? We either stick together, or we’ll be easy prey for the modern empires.

          Just remember as Europe is forced into closer and closer alliance and unification, that the enemy is not China or Russia or the U.S.

          To see the real enemy, you must look within.

          The enemy is the 1%. The oligarchs. Remember that they are in Europe as well, and they want the same thing there as they have here in the U.S.
