#CEUM

(1/n)

That sounds very reasonable to me. Including the #US, there are so many things that unite all of the #Americas and the #European continent.

Why is my two-sided approach, one ever-deepening #FTA and a #DefensUnion, for further integration in #CEUM the right approach? --Because #DefenseSpending entails enormous costs that can only be borne by thriving economies.
The founding fathers of #NATO understood this and that's why there is Art. 2,...



Bonkers long thread so I hope you will stay with me and engage. I'd like to take stock of what is probably the most unnecessary potential for conflict since the #FalklandsWar. I'm talking about the attempt by the Trump administration to annex Greenland.

Russian employers owe their employees large amounts of money, according to Russian media. The situation continues to deteriorate:

◾️As of January 1 of this year, Russian employers owed their employees just over 500 million rubles ($5.9 million). At the end of February, this amount rose to 1.2 billion ($14.1 million).

◾️The worst situation is at construction sites, where salary delays have increased 13 times.

Putin has signed a decree on spring military conscription.

According to the plan, 160,000 people will be drafted, which is 10 thousand more than last year (and the highest number in 10 years).

Putin promised coscripts wouldn't be sent to war. However, coscripts have been taken captive and found killed in his "special military operation."

β€œThere are only a couple hundred Americans at Pituffik where once there were ten thousand; there is only that one US base on the island [Greenland] where once there were a dozen; but that is American policy, not Denmark’s fault.”

β€œGreenland, Denmark, and the United States have been enmeshed in complex and effective security arrangements…for the better part of a century. Arctic security, an issue discovered by Trump and Vance very recently, was a preoccuption for decades during and after the cold war.”
β€”Timothy Snyder, The Imperialism Has no Clothes
#vance #trump #usa #denmark #greenland #nato


”It takes some patience to unwind all of the nonsense… When Vance says that Denmark is not protecting Greenland…, he is wishing away generations of cooperation, as well as the NATO alliance itself. … The threat in the Arctic…is Russia… But right now the United States is supporting Russia… No one is doing more to contain the Russian threat than Ukraine.”

"Together with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, we discussed the results of the leaders' summit on support for Ukraine and security in Europe and held a meeting at the British Embassy in Paris.

It is important that everyone understands: today Russia does not want real peace and is dragging out the war."

Trump Regime Pressures UK!

UK's Starmer says he faced pressure from US to criticize Zelensky after Oval Office clash with Trump

"We were under pressure to come out very critically with, you know, flowery adjectives to describe how others felt,” Starmer said.

He refused Trump's command!

Get rid of them. The F-35 may be a significant investment, but it's one that #Denmark cannot afford to continue with. If #Putin decides he's had it with #NATO, his puppet #Trump will cut all all support, and the #F35 will become a very expensive paperweight. Better to get an inventory of Gripens, Rafales, or even Eurofighters. Get America's fingers out of European and NATO defense, as much as possible.


#Trump admin considers giving up #NATO command that has been exclusively American since Eisenhower era.

β€œThe timeline for the #SACEUR move, if it does happen, is as yet undetermined. Army Gen. Chris Cavoli, the current SACEUR, is on a three-year tour due to end this summer.

Five of the military’s 11 combatant commands could be consolidated under the plan being discussed…”
FYI SACEUR has been responsible for #Ukraine war support coordination.

German lawmakers gave the green light on Tuesday for a colossal spending boost for defence and infrastructure pushed by chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz amid deep fears in Europe over the future strength of the transatlantic alliance. The unprecedented fiscal package could pave the way for more than one trillion euros in spending over the next decade. FRANCE 24's Nick Holdsworth reports from Berlin.

Instead of F-35, #Portugal turns to Europe in search of new fighter

The change in the United States government’s policy towards #NATO has prompted the Portuguese Defense Minister to consider an agreement unlikely

Well, #Canada is still part of a European, #UK-based #Commonwealth, for one thing.

Then, there is #CETA. And #NATO.

Maybe #EuropeanUnion might not be an appropriate term anymore, maybe #TransatlanticUnion would be more appropriate?

In fact, I favor #CEUM, for the time being.
An #FTA, similar, to how the #EuropeanCommunity got started, back in the day.

All agreed.

You are not saying this, but just for the benefit of others: #Finland and #Sweden became #NATO members only in 2023. #Austria is a "neutral" country. Of #TΓΌrkiye, only a small part of #Istambul is #European.--So the complacency statement about #NATO' #Eoropean members holds true.


"This is a tragedy for the free world, but above all, it is tragedy for the United States. Trump’s message is that being his ally serves no purpose, as he will not defend you, he will impose higher tariffs on you than on his enemies, and he will threaten to seize your territories while supporting the dictators who invade you. ...

Never in history has a president of the United States surrendered to an enemy."

"Europe is at a critical turning point in its history. The American shield is slipping away, Ukraine risks being abandoned, and Russia is being strengthened. Washington has become the Court of Nero: an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a buffoon on ketamine tasked with purging the civil service."

"There's this kind of Freudian denial that, β€˜Okay, but it couldn't really be that bad. In the end, it's the United States, they couldn't actually go that far, we couldn't really switch sides. Your President couldn't really be working for Putin’. I said, β€˜No, you absolutely cannot trust us. It has to be over. You have to take that in, that these are not people you can work with, either rationally or cynically.'"

"This idea of America – despite all our problems and our hypocrisy and our racism and our violence – that it was still somehow the world's deepest liberal democracy and the land of the free and the home of the brave, and everything that Soviet communism was not – will, in the end, be the rescuer and guarantor of freedom. I feel like the last vestiges of that are finally dissolving."

"The reason why the United States will likely never again be considered the true leader of the free world, at least not in our lifetimes, is a matter of trust. Nobody trusts us anymore, and with good reason. We are the nation that gifted Trump with the presidency of the United States twice. And the second time, he actually won the popular vote as well as the Electoral College."

....so it was never seriously developed.

Lastly, in my view, even though the #DefenseUnion seems to have been the most difficult dimension for #EU to integrate, this mustn't be the case for the #EU and the non-US #NATO members.

In fact, #NATO proves that a Defense Union can be pursued independently from all other dimension.

Agree on both points.

It is very hard in Mastodon to amend a thread due to the quite severe character limit.
I tried anyway, though.

Also, I think the defense dimension is included now, as I'm talking about a #DefenseUnion.
