Wolfgang Ischinger, who is at the European salons, late cast the slogan of establishing a European Defence Union (hereinafter: EUO). It would formally be an organization supporting NATO, but in practice it would be the beginning of schism.
Most of my readers most likely have no thought who Wolfgang Ischinger is. It is not only a leading European diplomat, including erstwhile Deputy Head of the German Ministry of abroad Affairs and erstwhile national Ambassador to the United States and the United Kingdom. It is headed by an highly crucial institution called the Munich safety Conference. I will remind you that it was at the yearly meetings organised by this influential Think-Tank that Navalny's wife late rocked, and in January 2022 at this event Volodymir Żeleński gave a celebrated speech about the necessity of Ukraine's entry into NATO so that NATO would aid regain Ukraine Crimea and Donbas. There was a performance that was most likely a spark resulting in a Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is so hard to say that Ischinger is “no 1 important”. It is the Grey Eminence of German politics and modern globalisation. specified Klaus Schwab of modern global relations.
The EUO is simply a conceptualization of the imagination that German and French politicians have long preached (French loudly, German semi-gable) that NATO must have 2 autonomous members, American and European, capable of independent action. At a time erstwhile Trump gets along with Putin on Ukraine and disregards EU leaders, the European pillar from the autonomous is actually to be turned into an independent, just under the name EUO. In fact, he has been talking about the same thing for respective weeks now, Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz and Keir Starmer. The EUO would focus France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, the Baltic States, and its binder would be hostility to Russia and the United States, with the slogan "the fight for Ukraine". Macro already declares that the EUO would only buy weapons produced in Europe, prosecute a common foreign, safety and military policy. All decisions would fall by a majority, without the fundamental veto rule for the sovereign state. It's specified a small NATO-bis headed by Ursula von der Leyen. Donald Tusk and his spouse Anne Applebaum do not hide their delight for the EUO. I think Poland should stay distant from the EUO. Why?
First of all, I never believed in Ukraine's victory, and I believed that the swift conclusion of peace minimizes Kiev's territorial losses, and above all it causes that the conflict would not spill to neighbouring countries, including Poland. As far as the Russian-Ukrainian border is afraid to me, the threat of bringing us into war scares me.
Secondly, it is simply a task that, for the coming years, does not give Poland any safety guarantees. France, large Britain and Germany do not have land armies. These first 2 countries have crucial aviation, as well as naval forces and air-desant troops to conduct overseas colonial expeditions. The German Army is in statu nascendi. So far, by announcing their willingness to send troops to Ukraine, these states have problems gathering 30,000 troops of land troops and have a full of only 600 tanks. In the event of a conflict with Russia, they will not defend our border or even the Vistula line. It's a paper tiger. Of course, if, as von der Leyen plans, the EU owes 800 billion euros, it will make an army. But it'll take a decade.
Thirdly, it is simply a task introducing the European Union's federalisation programme, including the rule of abolishing the national veto for the majority of votes, the European common army, the common abroad and safety policy. Word, black hole, epicentre of ideology of globalism and cosmopolitanism. In 2024 I published a book European discussions on the future of the European Unionwhere I have expressed the view that the EU cannot be federated or restored to the level of the confederation of sovereign states, due to the fact that any amendment to the treaties requires unanimity which is impossible to achieve. Therefore, I have written, the only anticipation for the Federalists is to conclude an additional treaty on common foreign, defence policy, the European army and to make decisions on these issues by a majority – to which only the countries they want will accede. This is the concept of a alleged two-speed Europe. The EUO is simply a task for the federalisation of western Europe for globalist elites curious in the liquidation of their own sovereign states. By the way, Britain will return to the EU again in a fresh form.
Fourthly, the EUO task is unfair. Ursula von der Leyen has already announced that the European Commission will supply organization and financial support to him. In another words, this German imperialist announced that taxpayers from Spain, Hungary, Italy or Slovakia are to finance a task in which they do not participate and, in the case of Hungary and Slovakia, they are not to be invited to implement it. This is nothing but a simple abuse of power and common finances by the European Commission.
Someone will ask: what do I propose in return? In the context, as Jarosław Kaczyński described as X, the "revolves" against the United States of Western Europe must be created a block of states choosing NATO and an alliance with the US and rejecting the EUO. Among the countries close to us geographically are Hungary and Slovakia, and from further Italy and possibly Spain. The Warsaw-Bratislaw-Budapest axis should be an ally of Washington in Europe and from the US to buy weapons, which Donald Trump treats as a buyout of "security policies". Warsaw must then accept the failure of Ukraine and reset relations with Russia, as Hungary and Slovakia have long done. Of course, this requires an interior exchange of leaders in politics. Donald Tusk and Jarosław Kaczyński must go to political retirement. And to tell you the truth, I see the biggest problem here. They will fight for survival, even at the expense of the state of Poland.
