Exactly! The sad history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is a reminder of how an unrestricted veto right can run a country to self-destruction.

Fully agree! That’s why I say that the time for empty words is over. I would be happy to hear Tusk calling to start an intergovernmental conference of the willing Member States to take concrete action of unification (knowing that some will be against that). Hopefully we see that soon!

Ok but what does it mean in practice? It’s already united on paper. Any more unity requires further transfer of power to Brussels-level, which is not likely to be popular among the Member States.

With Trump starting to carve out the world with Putin and XI, when will Europe wake up to exert itself as an independent power rather than silently wait to be partitioned by the three autocrats?

Why I am not surprised that @politico.eu has again mixed capitals of two Eastern EU Member States? Cannot imagine them doing the same with let’s say Sweden and Spain 🙄

I am afraid how effective it is with US, Hungary and Slovakia each having a veto power.

Nice ideas for three years ago. It’s time for radical and norm-breaking ideas - supranational European armed forces and common nuclear deterrent. This is what will put the EU on the equal footing with the US and Russia. Not some vague blah blahs about ‘more investment in defense’

LT President Nauseda is stuck in the past. All the actions he lists are laughable and should have already been in place years ago. Time for RADICAL ACTION - supranational EU armed forces and common European nuclear deterrent. EU leaders should not leave the room until this is agreed!

Former French PM and EU Brexit negotiator proposes the establishment of the 'European Security Council'

Things move fast in the EU - leader of the Dutch party in the government Dilan Yesilgoz now supports the start of discussion of common European nuclear deterrent 👍

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

This is the story of the European Army that could have been, but never was.

Before the ‘strategic autonomy’ mantra, there were a proposal, an agreement and a Treaty (1952).

A European Defence Community. A European army with common budget.

Classic European leaders. Why are they willing to spend days in Brussels to try to agree the next MFF, but continue to kick the can down the road in the face of a truly existential danger? 🤯

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, it's time to use the powers GRANTED to the Commission by the Treaties. Propose asap the enhanced cooperation mechanism for countries willing to establish common armed forces!

@ec.europa.eu has the right of initiative to propose enhanced cooperation among the willing Member States. @andriuskubilius.ec.europa.eu it's time to use this power established in the EU Treaties as an expedited way towards the creation of joint EU armed forces.

Hope that the complete humiliation of European leaders in Munich will finally force them to take truly decisive actions.
What about reanimating the European Defense Community?

@ec.europa.eu intends to scrap the proposal to end seasonal clock changes in the EU because of the lack of progress and no discussions taking place at the Council since 2019(!)

Thank you. Hopefully the three Baltics will be firm and force other leaders to make truly meaningful steps towards the common defense union.

Excellent to see that all five EU's public health agencies are now on @bsky.app:

1. @ema.europa.eu

4. @efsa.europa.eu
5. @euchemicalsagency.bsky.social

🎉

Happy to see @ema-eu.bsky.social join the Bluesky!

And there are still hundreds of lawmakers in the West idolizing this terrorist country. Why are they still not being prosecuted for treason?
