Do we really need the Americans to defend 500 million Europeans from 150 million Russians?
I say a more federal Europe is what we need. We’re slowly moving in that direction, but it’s time to speed up the process of integration.
Macron has many faults, but at least he has solid foreign/EU policy.
Europe must be independent, in every way possible.
Not shown in the graphic is the Brigade training JTAC with Mirage-2000s too.
“Marianne of Ukraine” much better.
This thing had to be done 2 years ago.
Counteroffensive 2025 for the win!
A small correction, brigade will have 4500soldiers, 2300 trained in Ukraine and 2200 in France.

At least according to this channel that keeps track of French arms commitments to Ukraine.
Are French soldiers joining this fight?
As an Italian I feel shame. My country is not doing enough.
Shame it’s so late.
