Macron urges Europe to start acting like world power

Indeed we should. So long as this doesn't mean that we move towards being isolationists, imperialists or Nazi's.

Does Europe have any power? If yes, then Ukraine is the perfect place to demonstrate it. Imagine how powerful 1 million artillery shells per month would look. A hundred tanks and planes per month would look powerful too. Thousand missiles per month might send the powerful message too.

Talking and urging isn't powerful.

Ok prove it by stopping Russia from slaughtering your own fucking neighbor

That means cutting ties with Israel and the Zionist oligarchs trying to implement mass surveillance. They don’t seem to understand that basic reality though because they keep trying to force the digital ID through Zionist Larry Ellisons company Oracle onto their populace.

Long past time. United we stand, divided we fall.

No. They are not ready. If all your computers and phones "phone home" with "home" being your adversary's country (that's how USA deals with Europe in the last year), then you cannot call yourself a world power. Most PCs in Europe use Windows and MacOS. Almost all phones are either Android or iOS. And even if they managed to replace all the software with locally developed Linux, all recent (last 20 years) x86 PCs have either Intel Management Engine or AMD Security Technology. If they chose to make intensive efforts to replace their systems, computers and phones, it would take at least a decade to achieve this. And even then, the US would likely be able to penetrate their systems. It's so much easier to yield to the Emperor of the Western World for the perennially submissive European serfs.

I know how much the French hate Macron (with good reasons), but you can't really argue against these points. Some things gotta happen. Federilization, another voting system etc. Otherwise EU will be undermined and destroyed by the superpowers and become a lot of small versailstates. We cant find in this world, when bound on hands and feet by a few orbans here and there..

I'd much rather see Europe rule the world than the US.

He's right.

They need to focus on making every European nation a nuclear power. You can't trust the US when we're on our second consecutive brain-damaged president in a row.

I really like Macron in his foreign policy mode, it just a shame he pissed the bed by opening a loophole that will be abused if ever an amoral president gets in power.

Problem is - if you look at how "World Powers" behave, do you really wanna live in such countries?

Which Europeans would just love to invade neighbors like Russia and USA?

Which Europeans would love to deregulate their countries in order to enrich elites like USA?

Or perhaps which Europeans would love to live under state surveillance while their country buys out foreign infrastructure like China?

As long as it's not France's idea of being a power... I have no interest in colonialism.

It's less about being a power. The British Empire was "A Power". The US is "A Power". Russia has been "A Power" and wants people to think it still is. China is "A Power".

Unless you use it to the benefit of the people, it's just posturing.

EU leaders are waking up slowly. When they finally wake up and start acting Ukraine will be part of Russia and Greenland part of US.

Can we put him in VdL’s place once he is done in France? He would make a great President of Europe.

I lived in Strasbourg during the 2018 Christmas terrorist attack. French gendarmerie kicked ass. Europe needs a standing army. Go build one.

World powers don't let shadow fleets sabotage their infrastructure without receiving a declaration of war in return.

I'd for the longest time wondered why Europe has been so complacent in letting the US dominate the geopolitical agenda. Could it be by letting the US overspend on military, EU can instead invest in better living standards for themselves & mooch off US military support through NATO if the need ever arises?

Why is China always perceived as a threat?

Translation: "We should increase spending on military equipment so that later we can become fascist and hand it all off to an authoritarian regime to use. We should do this instead of fixing any actual problems, because addressing the root cause of those problems would mean acknowledging that those problems are caused by the ruling class, who own and control 'democracy'."
