Both Trump and Putin fear the idea of a European army. Why? Because it would instantly transform Europe into the most powerful political and military bloc on the planet. Together, Europe’s economies already surpass the United States and Russia. With a unified defense force, it would no longer depend on Washington for security or be threatened by Moscow’s aggression. It would mean strategic autonomy, global influence, and the ability to act as the world’s decisive power. Yet Europe has lived for decades with what can only be called a small-country mentality. Europeans tend to see themselves only through the lens of their own nation — German, French, Italian, Polish, Norwegian, Irish, Belgian — but rarely as one coherent whole. This fractured mindset blinds us to the scale of what Europe already is: 750 million citizens, some of the most advanced technology in the world, and the largest integrated industrial base on the planet. It is time to break free from that narrow perspective. Europe must stop thinking like 27 small countries and start thinking like one great power. The day we shed the small-country mentality is the day Europe realizes it already has the weight to shape the century.
@Microinteracti1 Having failed as an economic bloc, it appears Europe is trying to reinvent itself as a military bloc; however, the EU economy is in shambles, they have limited natural resources, the population is divided, and the Eurocrats cling to their self-defeating “green” economic agenda.

@Microinteracti1 Thank God for Europe and Canada and Australia and New Zealand. The fact that Europe still values the principles of justice & freedom prevents me from losing all hope within the US.
@Microinteracti1 The entire EU GDP is 19.4 trillion as of last year. The US GDP is 29 trillion. You should go back to the drawing board and do some better math.
@Microinteracti1 Excellent structured text, a bit long, but it teaches us, with a small amount of numerical information about the economy, about this important geopolitical situation at the present time.
@Microinteracti1 They both should fear a European army! 👇
@Microinteracti1 Europe could not scramble an army together for love nor money! The young people of Europe are too unpatriotic; poorly educated; too woke & too confused about their own identities to be bothered about fighting for NATO expansion & EU enlargement!
@Microinteracti1 A couple of things: 1 - A European army is essential and must become a reality 2 - You can't say Trump fears it when he literally spent his 1st term begging Europe to spend on defense and build one ... and has re-iterated that desire this term. The US needs a strong Europe.
@Microinteracti1 The USA never saw Europe as a friend or ally, but as a competitor on the world stage. They fear a Ukrainian victory, as it would lead to an even stronger Europe that would rival it in power!
@Microinteracti1 Norway isn’t an EU member! That’s said, I agree with you 💯% EU really needs to step up, fast.
@Microinteracti1 Let’s start with moving to majority voting in the European Parliament to stop putins fuck-buddies in Europe from frustrating progress.
@Microinteracti1 It's just going to be a bunch of Muslims and Immigrants that then use their new military to take over Europe. Europeans don't even fight for their own families, let their daughters get raped, and the cucks figure if they just bring more immigrants the rapes will stop.
@Microinteracti1 Lol our next great tale from fantasy island. Just to point out one small thing every EU country buys its military hardware from whom? If that was to stop how would the EU defend itself?
@Microinteracti1 Your either a comedian or delusional
@Microinteracti1 Honestly, what would it change? It would be just a rebranding of the existing NATO branch in Europe 🤷♂️ Given, it would be still a part of NATO, nothing would change, if not, we would loose valuable allies like Japan, Canada and the USA.
@Microinteracti1 > Together, Europe’s economies already surpass the United States. No — EU is $19.9T, US is $30,5T. This basic lack of factchecking makes everything else you write look questionable.
@Microinteracti1 We have to leave the totalitarian “EU” #Dexit
@Microinteracti1 Ummm… U.S. GDP is 1.5 times the size of EU GDP and in an all out war the U.S. would turn the EU into a rubble pile before the EU settled on which uniforms to wear. It might be a good idea to use reality as a basis for speaking publicly.
@Microinteracti1 The Time is now for Europe and the Uk Japan Canada and even California divorce yourself from America Now and prosper this is the biggest turning point in history if you do not make this choice then Europe will implode due to its own weakness and insecurity
@Microinteracti1 I love this. France and the UK have to expand their nuclear capabilities. Then Germany and Poland have to develop their own NUKES. That will deter Putin.
