Not if we want to walk straight into a direct armed conflict with Russia I'm yet to be convinced there aren't too many differing interests and philosophies to really make it viable, or that there's currently enough will among the European nations to properly fund it Quote

Yep! We need to start asserting ourselves as a continent again. We can't risk watching all these spheres of influence expand while we go backwards. And I hate to say it. But I can envisage a future where we have to protect our interests against the US sadly. Quote
Winchester White Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Why do folk talk just of an Army when most conflicts these days involve mainly air and naval assets over land ones? Pedantry aside, any force would have to be in line with political allegiance not geographical. Nice try comrade Dimron. Quote
Spider Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Once Trump has gone everything will return to normal. We just need to hope his internal organs fail sooner rather than later or the files are actually released. Either way, anyone supporting him at this point is insane or unable to admit they were wrong. Bolty, basically. Quote

And I still think there a good chance JD Vance wins the next election. There's also a good chance that we vote Reform in - the Dems take the US - and we look like complete cretins internationally - in North America and Europe. Whoopdeedoo! 😂 Quote

Whoopdeedoo! 😂 Trump needs to die of natural causes really, the sooner the better. Any assassination or foul play would only make him a martyr I would hope enough Americans are feeling the pinch and will vote with their hip pocket nerves or some such shite. He said everything would be cheaper and there’d be no more wars. So… Quote

He said everything would be cheaper and there’d be no more wars. So… To be fair - he did manage to sort Ukraine, solve inflation and not get involved in any overseas conflicts. So at least he's a man of his word. Unlike Starmer! 😡 Quote

To be fair, wrong though it is, I think most people would include an airforce and navy as well when referring to a European army Quote
