If money is already not paid for the established military defence network - NATO - then why would I assume that the unneeded erection and maintaining of a military parallel structure that more or less, estimated by handsight , doubles the total costs, would be paid for. Europe needs to strengthen its stand inside NATO instead. And by that, ti would also win a bigger say in NATO. Ideally, i think Europeans should shoulder 55-60% of the defence costs of NATO, since it is mainly European interests NATO is defending, European soil, European freedom. A Russian invasion into North America probably nobody has ever seriously considered.

As of the EU, the EU of the kind it is now must go. This doe snot mean to fall back into poure nationalism or national state thinking, but the EU as it is now is driven by narcissistic ######## who cannot stand to be reduced in meaning, glory and power, and the material interests iof these honourable and super competent gentlemen and that of the many bureaucrats in the massive bureaucratric apparatus are at stake as well. The EU I consider to be non-reformable. And we can nicels see it in the debt crisis and the Euro crisis and the current ritual - not more it is - abot Greece's needed money support (what a BG SUPRISE that they again need oney, how should one have forseen that years ago after the first rescues?) One just moves on as always, does the same fake shows and stage dramas, and nothign chnages, and so deeper and deeper into the mess it all slides.

The EU must go, but it will not go voluntarily, if however it would be gone, it should be replaced with a new economic cooperation union of much smaller size, with members fitting better and that are more comparable. Many links in the chain do not stengthen a chain if these links are weak. Any chain only is as strong as its weakest link. Total number of member states is relatively unimportant.

It also cannot be any longer that the fincially net receivers and the weakest economic players have athe same saying and the same voting power like those paying in multiple times as much. In the ECB currently the net receivers have a voting majoirty over those nations who are net payers. With the forseeable result. Draghi's plundering policy and illegal state financing doctrine, hidden behing many twisted words, are the result of that.

I insist on it: Europe and the EU, are two very different things. What counts, should be Europe, not the EU. However, for cultural, historical and demographical reasons things do not look shiny for Europe anyway. One cannot help it, this is a cultural sphere that is in fall. It will lead either to a hige dictatorship, or plenty of chaos and the corpus shreddered by others, mainly Islam. Could also be that the foreign relgion that we now breed inside our home will be declared state relgion by a possible European dictatorship, to enforce compliance and thus stability like it was done with Chriostoan religion in Rome, when it was declared the Roman state religion.

You gotta love these outlooks.

That we allow the EU and the progressive thinkers to intentionally destroy the most fundamental identity-building social-cultural core cell - the family, which stands at the very beginning of the progressive line core family-bigger family-tribe-people-nation-culture - just to destroy right these later terms and replace such identiy feelings in people with artificial, lifeless, universalistic, non-indiviual EU-nomatized "values", also does not help, of course. Plus it does its share to reducing birth rates, due to the individual freedoms being put above communal interests. Lets face it, individual interests and communal interests, for exmaple freely living your secuality without needing to fear the biological (and biologically wnated) consequences, and society's vital survival interests, are mutually exclszuive. The more of the one, the less of the other you have. The massive individual rights agreed on in today'S West go at the huge cost of keepign the institution of the family strong. No wonder then that people are being raised wiothout identity and orientation and just can be led around by their nose like cattle and believe just any other cultural set of values, no matter how set-back it may be, is as good as their own -s ince they have no feeling and no understanding of "own" lived identity, since they have no living own identity - jus this aticial lifeless universalistic, generlaised bureaucratic constructions from the EU's engineer labs.

Many people, more an dmore people, feel increasingly uncomfortable about this cultural rape by the EU, since forming group identity is inbuild into us due to it it now being evolutionary encoded in our genes. We do want to be part not of some infinte, vague mass of somethingl but a peer group, a social and cultural framework that defeines what and who we are, and what and who we are not. Its very profound, very basic, its in our psychological and even cognitive! fundament. And that is why the native population in Europe will more and more become aggressive, towards the EU, towards enforced imigration, towards the foreign itself that gets imported and enforced by clueless polticians in far too high numbers. The demonised "populists" are just the beginning, and they are here to stay, and to grow. They are a natural reaction to the abuses the intellectual "elite" is punishing Europe with. Helping this all probably will not. Europe is already lost for the native Eurppeans. The onyl question is if in the new European cultural regime somethign of the old value system of the Christian-Judaic and Greek-Roman origin will survive, or if it will all be totally subjugated and wiped out by foreign powers that are far less tolerant and "mutli-cultural" than naive Europeans today are.
