Sometimes I see Europe like the huge Titanic deep in the ice! Still big, still most modern, still strong and famous....but so deeply frozen in on all sides by lotsa unnecessary laws and decrees and directives and duties and taxes.....oh the taxes....that big, glorious ship with everybody on board has become unable to move...not forward not back, just stagnancy!
We need a revolution...
incompetent losers who create issues instead of solving them.

.....yeah....they left mainly because they blamed the EU laws for the unwanted immigration....paying to much into it, getting not enough back.
The Brexit didn't help at all...I guess that was an interesting lesson for all observers....more is needed, different measures!
Not that the complaints didn't have any merit, but the biggest changes usually come from the inside, never from the outside...
Till later, have to leave now...*waves*

The EU will change and adapt to this new age, so will GB....in such a world the author describes GB would be worse off than mainland Europe! With the US no longer caring for any "special relationship" with the Island, their traditional Empire fading away and the bonds to EU-Europe cut by themselves.
I see them back into our folds, when (not if) the pushes come to shove!

No, I doubt we ever will again....many Europeans (and Iron too), would be against it.
That doesn't mean we can't become again the industrial, technological furnace in which the tools will be forged to guarantee our future wealth, independence and global influence.
I know, that is a bold vision...but it wouldn't be the first still coming to pass!
What disturbs me reading the article is this defeatism, that absolut lacking of any kind of belief in the strength of Europe...for the author only sees two choices for us...being cuddled by the US or being eaten by everybody else!
No thank you!
Yes, I think they will. With EU-membership, and already on the "road" to such, comes a huge fund of support....that will be used to rebuild what was destroyed in this war.

Torqi,
I just read that article and I'm quite sure the author did not write it with a german audience in mind....and not with a european one generally either me thinks!
Germany is either used as a "warning from the past" or even for the future:
I don't agree!
If he wants the USian public to convince he used a curious media with the Kievpost...and instead to accept the "Zeitenwende", that the Europeans HAVE to change and to shoulder the task to start to defend themselves, he warns about such an development???
I know, most of us wish the good ol' time back, but its not going to happen....so we better accept the new realities....and it doesn't have to be to bow down to China, to pay them for "rescue" from the Russians, now that the US cut back their involvement...what defeatism is that!

Germany is either used as a "warning from the past" or even for the future:
....The other, less likely, but admittedly possible outcome, is that in shock over America's betrayal, Europe rapidly rearms and becomes a new German-led military superpower rivalling the other three poles. The Trumpists claim this is what they want. If they really do, they should be careful what they wish for....

Right now it is.....with a Gorbatschow-Russia our both nations would flourish....now with Putin-Russia we both suffer!
Thing is, it is downright dangerous to depend that much on the accidents of history, on who just rules in the Kremlin. That is no way to build a stable future. For Germany it needs more than that....at best likeminded neighbours who follow the same rules, no matter who just won the election!
That needs a corset of mutual treaties and agreements, no matter how bureaucratic and cumbersome that sometimes (often) appears....
For an USian or a Russian or a Chinese that may look curious or funny, or even weak, but for Germany this is existential! *shrugs*
My sincere advice for Germany is to look back and realize that Russia is not your enemy.

A disinformation campaign coordinated by former Wirecard manager Jan Marsalek was apparently launched in May 2022 to undermine public support for Ukraine in Germany. According to reports by WDR, NDR, and the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the campaign aimed to create the impression that sympathizers of Ukrainian right-wing extremists were active in Berlin.
To this end, stickers and graffiti were to be plastered en masse at prominent locations such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Jewish Museum, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and a Bundeswehr recruitment center. The report states that Marsalek and a Bulgarian contact from Great Britain involved in the campaign selected motifs such as runes and wolfsangel symbols. Also included was the logo of the Ukrainian paramilitary group "Azov," which had been criticized for its right-wing extremist connections but, according to its own statements, has since distanced itself from them....

Agreed! Even as I am more a supporter of "additional" instead of "apart"....
Hence the declaration about the building of a european multi-national force this evening could become such an important turning point in history!
The actual reason is to support Ukraine, but once build and set in motion, that would be a good starting point....

Berlin - The European heads of state and government, who met for a joint negotiating dinner at the Chancellery on Monday evening, issued a statement calling for a "multinational force for Ukraine."
The joint document (obtained by BILD) states that they want to "work together to provide Ukraine with robust security guarantees and support measures for economic reconstruction within the context of an agreement to end the war."
▶︎ This would include, among other things, "a European-led, multinational force for Ukraine, comprised of contributions from willing nations, within the framework of the Coalition of the Willing, which is supported by the USA."...

This force will "assist in the regeneration of Ukraine's armed forces, the securing of Ukraine's airspace, and the safeguarding of its seas, including through operations within Ukraine."
▶︎ Furthermore, in the event of a peace deal, the heads of state and government intend to "provide sustained and substantial support to Ukraine to build up its armed forces, which should have a permanent strength of 800,000 troops in peacetime." This is intended to enable the deterrence of conflicts and the defense of Ukraine's territory.

Yeah....THAT!
The always lacking (and sorely missed) reaction of muslims living in the West to these atrocities have been an important factor to the rising mistrust and rejection.
When has there ever been a clear big sign of these peaceful, well integrated muslims supporting the victims and the society they live in?
Is it a wonder that people came to think they are all silent supporters of the murderers? The baklava throwing happy parties after such massmurders like 9/11 or the Nova Festival not even addressed...
PS:....and yesterday they caught a few muslims in Bavaria, who were planning an attack on a Christmas Market....just saying!
