Time to Wake Up: Europe Must Unite and Become a Real Superpower

I don’t know if becoming a superpower but it definetely needs to unite instead of depending on an schizophrenic ally.

When I was younger, in my 20’s, I used to oppose federal EU. Now..as I get older, lets do it. EU needs to be our continents super power.

Let’s start by directly electing the President of the EU Commission.

F### Russia and f### Trump

But with Worker’s rights, right? Right?

Fun fact : in french, brass knuckles are named “coup-de-poing américain” (american punch) so i stared a long time at the picture trying to parse it.

Europe better unite because mother Russia is knocking at your door.

Enough is enough—how many more humiliations do we have to swallow before we open our eyes and realize that Europe, as it stands, is a giant with feet of clay? We need a united, federal Europe, with a single constitution, uniform laws, a unified tax system, and above all a shared military. No more of this bickering like a squabbling condo board. If we want to truly matter on the world stage, we have to act as one bloc.

Dependence on the USA? Thanks, but no thanks. For years we have lived in America’s shadow, meekly accepting their dictates and demands. It’s time to cut that umbilical cord and grow into a self-sufficient power. If we don’t do it, we will keep letting them set the agenda, reduced to mere pawns on a chessboard controlled by Washington and Moscow.

Speaking of Moscow: Trump and Putin have already made a deal to weaken Europe. They are fully aware that economically and culturally we are a sleeping giant, and they are doing everything they can to keep us fragmented. They have even unleashed Elon Musk to manipulate and destabilize key countries like the UK and Ireland, sowing confusion and disorientation. Their end game? Leave Eastern Europe at Moscow’s mercy and isolate the core of the continent so they can carve up spheres of influence across the region.

The United Kingdom must come back to this vision of a united Europe, forget Brexit and the mirage of independence. London should recognize that outside the EU, it becomes an easy target for Washington’s maneuvers. The same goes for every country left out or that has not joined yet: either form one genuine continental bloc or remain isolated, acting as vassals to the world’s dominant powers.

We must act now, or we will go on being those nice Europeans who preach democracy and cooperation while everyone else pulls the rug out from under us. It is time to show the world that Europe can not only compete but surpass everyone else. We have the history, culture, brains, and resources: stop scattering ourselves in a thousand directions and come together under one flag, one federal parliament, one army, and one common strategy across all fronts—economic, technological, environmental, and military.

If we do not want to fade into irrelevance, we have to choose to become a real superpower. There is no more time to hesitate; the game is on now. And if we do not want others deciding our future, we need to grab the helm quickly. Europe has waited long enough: either we unite and show we are stronger than the US and Russia combined, or we accept a bit part on the global stage—and that makes me sick to my stomach.

Let’s do it, right now. We’re tired of hearing that we are potentially an economic adversary. We are an economic adversary already, all that’s missing is stepping up and acting like a power. Do we need unity? Yes, and immediately. Enough with Brexit, enough with these little homelands: the European Union must become a single Federal State, with clear rules; we already share a currency, now we need the rest. If we want to break free from Washington and Moscow’s grip, that’s the only way.

Why haven’t we done it yet? Good question. Maybe thanks to private interests, or politicians pretending to defend national interests while they only look out for themselves. Or maybe because of old fears left over from past centuries. Enough, wake up. United, we can be the greatest power on the planet without submitting to anyone’s games. Whoever doesn’t believe it, feel free to stay behind; but don’t complain later if a Trump or a Putin ends up calling the shots on our own turf.

Instead of taking it passively, Europe needs to roll up its sleeves and become a superpower, now. Yes, now, in every language, in every dialect—the key word is now. Not ten years from now, not after history has already decided for us. We make history, and we need to make it today.

We need military power (and soft power). We cannot let Trump *negotiate* peace in Ukraine with the outcome that Ukraine has to give up territory to a country with a GDP comparable to Spain. If that gets through we become irrelevant.

So either we step up and give Ukraine everything they need or we have to send troops there ourselves and make it clear for once and for all that Russia can fuck itself and go back or that we are willing to burn everything to the ground. What’s the purpose of dying slowly and being crushed in between Russia/China and the USA? We are the continent of freedom. Of human right. Of ideas.

Negotiations are the wrong way.

We need a global union of countries who are tired of “superpowers” doing whatever they want.

Real superpower.

LMFAO.

Absolutely. 👍

No chance. Russia and China may remain calm.

europe can never be united like USA is and that is the main reason why it will never be a superpower. Not till few rich countries stop taking advantage of poor ones that is

Yes!!!! And let’s get a joint strategic nuclear deterrent when we are at it.

Let UK back in, build the dream!

Make EU great again!

Where is the article?

I don’t see any link, just a random image.

Anyone have a link to the article?

We would be the largest economy if we federalised

Can…can Canada come too? Please?

The internet is so weird now.

USE USE USE!!!

Get offline. Organize.

This has been my saying for years, long before Trump 2.0 (once again…) shat the bed.

It’s unity or bust. Only united does Europe stand a chance to defend its interest on the world stage. We need to stand on our own feet, hold our heads high, not be dependent on anyone for anything. We need to be strong and independent, so nobody can bully us or make decisions for us.

Long live a united and free Europe, the bastion of hope in a world of autocratic shitholes.
