I actually covered both those points in my original post....Originally Posted by HoreTore
It's fine if you don't want your nation not to be left behind internationally and economically - because economically you will soon run into problems - but I am sure other people in your nation don't want that to happen. Oslo was also a long time ago, the global climate is very different now.
Exactly, could not agree more. As I tried to highlight earlier, it is only through the EU and the collection of states in Europe that we will have any political control or say in world affairs. Furthermore a European army and integrated foreign policy is just a further, neded, extension of it. Some see that now, the rest will come round to understanding its need, it will just take some time - it will happen though.The isolationist view that member states should go their separate ways and face mass migration, Chinese competition, energy problems, Russian nationalism, international terrorism and the collapse of rogue states on their own is out-dated. We need an integrated European Army and an integrated European foreign policy.
