Il leader liberale olandese Jetten cerca di aumentare la spesa militare al 3% del PIL e di istituire l’esercito europeo. Sollecita la creazione dell’Unione energetica per impedire agli Stati di acquistare gas dal nemico. La politica energetica/di difesa dovrebbe essere guidata dall’UE, non dagli Stati

Aaand its becoming dangerous…
It’s not going to happen with our current government, though. Wilders definitely doesn’t want to spend anymore than 2%.
But I agree with Jetten (voted for the man). Three percent should be the bare minimum.
Who will be the ‘enemy’ though. I dislike gas/oil from Qatar, Saudi or the USA only a fraction less than Russian gas. Europe should be energy independent. Focus on our own extraction of fossil fuels that can’t be quickly replaced by renewables. Increase renewables AND energy storage. And don’t forget to invest in optimization and energy savings. You don’t need to produce the energy you don’t use.
Did he address the evergrowing influence and meddling of the USA in Europe?
Now give me a proper plan on how such an European army would be funded, and would stay operational in time of war.
As realistic as the revival of the Roman Empire.
Incoming Chancellor Merz, Meloni, Macron and Polish PM Tusk have all expressed interest in the European Army. Some form of integration seems very likely.
For context, he and his party (D66) took part in the last two governments who didn’t do shit and even caused a lack of ammunition so soldiers had to yell “pang, pang” when in training (both governments didn’t finish their full terms btw).
EU countries are not going to give up their own energy policies
Countries giving up their defence policy to the hands of the EU? How absurd.
Some people are truly tone deaf. Coordination of defence within NATO yes, handing over sovereignity never.
Ah, Jetten. A populist like Wilders, Timmermans and van der plas. ugh.
Nice.
Dangerous ideas.
Easy to want higher spending when you don’t have to figure out where to get that spending from
Agreed
European army in what way? Because there is no way in hell that the countries bordering Russia would just abolish their own armies or even have their budgets seriously decreased to support the European army.
This man is known to have said in parliament:
“I can’t see how with nuclear energy you can heat a home”.
He’s a moron.
No way I’m letting EU boss our energy, already made it shit
