  • And - while I know this could be seen as militaristic and wasteful by a lot of Europeans who may not fully or correctly understand how much of a tectonic geopolitical shift is occurring right now - it would be very strategically prudent in the long run if the EU invested in their collective military might (up to and including serious force-projection hardware like CVNs and SSNs/SSBNs/SSGNs and stealth bombers).
