9/9 Europe cannot wait for federalization that may never happen.
We need realistic steps now: a joint force that starts small, grows big, and cannot be blocked by one veto.
Without this, Europe stays dependent and vulnerable

8/9 This force could become Europe’s strategic backbone: rapid deployment, long-range strike, advanced air defense, and eventually nuclear deterrence.
Each country keeps its own army, but together we gain real power and credibility

7/9 Imagine 50,000 to 100,000 troops rotating from national armies.
Well paid, highly mobile, well equipped, ready to stabilize any EU country under attack.
Start small with a division, then grow to corps level.
Base them in the Baltics

5/9 That needs to change.
Europe must build credible deterrence and joint military capability.
Not to replace national armies, but to complement them with a force that can deploy anywhere in Europe fast

4/9 If Russia invaded the Baltics tomorrow, could Europe without US help move enough troops and equipment through contested skies and seas?
With Kaliningrad and the Baltic Sea full of Russian assets, the answer is grim: probably not

Two former soldiers were found on the crew list of the Russian shadowy tanker Qendil. One had fought in Russia's notorious Wagner mercenary forces and the other had served in the special forces of Russia's military intelligence agency, the GRU.Their real role has been related to intelligence duties.

There is no freedom of speech on X
Freedom of speech on X is a joke:
X’s algorithm clearly favors content supporting Musk and his views. Content critical of him or of those he supports requires significantly more retweets to reach 100k views.
Great example here: 4.5k retweets and nearly 15k likes for 179k views
