I hope you live in interesting times. That's 1 of the worst Chinese curses. Europe has lived alternatively boring and uninteresting since the 2nd century, and Poland has lived alternatively boringly since 89.
Our problems were bottle caps, sex and general discussion of changing/declining customs. specified tiny problems of the region, where even past ends.
Unfortunately, all that's good will come to an end, and the Western European civilization got a strong armpit in the nose. And unfortunately, he has to wake up because, as Murphi's law says, things left to themselves tend to go from bad to worse.
Because what alternate does the Union gotta a extremist change in American politics? What should be our answer?
Let's go. I am consciously writing from our country, due to the fact that Poland has long aspired to be a rich Western country independent of Russian influence and we have undoubtedly succeeded.
It seems that the answer should be fast and deeper integration. But this time, integration focused on crucial things, not as woodwork utilized to be, done from the d... side.
Integration by preparing the European Armed Forces. specified as will at least be able to play the function of peace or intervention forces. Army under any form of common command, common logistics, etc. (by the way, I like the thought of a French atomic umbrella over Europe) The consistent consequence of having a common army should be to establish a common abroad policy. But not specified a fake, where Germany, another French and another Baltic countries had another interests. Europe should talk to Trump, China and the African countries with 1 strong voice. And again, to run a policy like this, you request money. And the money for this should come from European taxes. First of all, from large non-European companies. specified Alphabet, Meta or ByteDance should pay 1 European tax, preferably on the turnover of the Union as a whole, alternatively than flee to Ireland and another taxation havens. In fact, akin treatment should besides be given to large European companies in the kind of Airbus, Volkswagen, etc.
Of course, all of this would have been to tie up any sensible electoral system.
And specified a Europe, strong and united, would have the chance to compete in a planet of global tensions, and possibly the 21st century wars. Unfortunately, all European country is weaker than Russia itself. (or in terms of demography, or economy, most frequently both), but together the Union has +-4x more people and is 10x richer.
Now the question is whether we can afford to respond to MEGA (Make Europe large Again)
