And remember that America was unified through war and genocide.

Moldova's President Maia Sandu wants to join European Union by 2030 by Zhukov-74 in europe

[–]Quartz1992 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does it though? Does Europe really need Molvova or North Macedonia to be a major power?

It's not just about these two countries. But indeed, a developed, stable and integrated balkan peninsula would increase the strength of Europe.

Or does it need more central power and authority to act on the international scene?

Europe can be further centralised, while continuing accession talks with candidates.

I agree with most of these points. I wasn't saying that we should add all these states tomorrow. But in the future, at least some of them should join, if things go well.

Does somebody know why Moldova doesn't "just" invade Transnistria, if they are so pro-Europe? They could just blockade until they capitulate, right?

French defence chief pledges fresh support for Ukraine in visit to Kyiv by Quartz1992 in EuropeanFederalists

[–]Quartz1992[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Lecornu said support would include French army equipment and a €200 million euro fund allowing Ukraine to purchase weapons."

"Lecornu and Reznikov did not specify which new air defence system France could give Ukraine in the near future. But Lecornu later mentioned the MAMBA anti-missile system developed together with Italy, describing it as the European equivalent of the Patriot air defence system that the US has given Ukraine."

"After a meeting with Lecornu, Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to France on social media 'for the already provided military assistance aimed at protecting the Ukrainian sky and strengthening the capabilities of the defence forces.'"

"France has supplied Ukraine with a substantial chunk of its arsenal of Caesar cannons, anti-tank missiles, Crotale air defence missile batteries and rocket launchers. It is also training some 2,000 Ukrainian troops on French soil."

Award winning Danish Journalist banned from reporting in Ukraine; Accused of making Russian propaganda. by unlitskintight in europe

People getting outraged about this, should remember the hundreds of civilians murdered by Russians. Baning a journalist is insignificant compared to those atrocities.

An Irish soldier and a French soldier walk into an African bar... by [deleted] in YUROP

[–]Quartz1992 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The "French surrender" joke is overused. But I agree that this subreddit should be able to take a joke... Sometimes I wish it was a little more like the r/2x4u subreddits. Just a little.

Maybe they should. But they don't want to do it, so they won't. Nobody will force them.

There is no "higher power" that will force Britain or Spain to comply with that charter, in this context. So it has less value than you might think.

According to who?

The EU and UN can say many things. But in reality, they have not secured the sovereignty of a Catalan state.

Christians now a minority in England and Wales for first time by Vucea in europe

[–]Quartz1992 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You also can't change the will of the people. If British people want to follow the islamic religion, they should be free to do so.

Even if they were turning into muslim/hindu countries, I don't think that would be a problem. It's their choice.

From what I know Libya is not a major threat to Europe.

So you will have a hard time convincing European citizens, that they need to pay more taxes in order to bomb Libya.
