Chancellor Friedrich Merz has openly questioned Germany’s participation in Europe’s flagship Future Combat Air System, warning that Berlin could look beyond France for fighter jet partners if key disagreements cannot be resolved.

“This isn’t a political quarrel. We have a real problem in the requirement profile. And if we can’t solve that, then we can’t maintain the project,” says German chancellor.

How many leaders locked in a castle does it take to change Europe? Hopefully 27! Right now Europe’s leaders are together to discuss the future of this continent. Will it be business as usual? Or will they walk the road to European independence and build something new- the United States of Europe?

Countries deciding to join Trump’s board of peace should also be a sign for the UN. The current structure does not reflect today’s realities. The UN’s main mission is SDG’s, so it should recognise that countries are developing. New powers have emerged and need to be heard.

It is time to show that EU leadership has a backbone. In 2022 European leaders were afraid to offend Putin. In 2025 European leaders were afraid to offend Trump. The EU has to stop letting itself be bullied. Together we have a strong economy and a pretty decent army. We need to unite now!

As much as Trump is adamant about seizing Greenland, he cannot do this with a special military operation and would thus require Congress approval. So very unlikely that any military action ever take place. We are just giving too much attention to this mad man.

Increasing defence capability and independence is a good track to give the EU more leverage but not enough. The US does not only have power through military, also through the dollar. Europe needs to step up and have a concrete long term monetary policy to make the Euro a reference for trade.

The EU and the Ukrainian people both want reforms. If the EU doesn't trust the government, it should turn to civil society. Read the full article by @voltukraine.org to understand the backstory of the anti-corruption protests: volteuropa.org/news/ukraine... 🇺🇦 💜
A man, identified as Zelensky in the text, sits at a table looking down. The text reads, "AN INSTITUTIONALLY WEAK UKRAINE MEANS A WEAKER EUROPE. Ukrainian parliament voted for a law eliminating the independence of anti-corruption bodies – and Zelensky signed it. Ukrainians took to the streets." The image has a Volt logo in the top right corner and an arrow pointing right.A crowd of people is shown protesting. A woman in the center holds a cardboard sign with "#12414" written on it in large letters, and "КОРУПЦІЇ" (corruption) underneath. The graphic text overlay reads, "#12414 IS THE CODE FOR CORRUPTION (#12414 is the number of the amendment)." It includes a quote bubble design and the Volt logo.A purple background with white text reads, "Ukrainians are fighting for democratic values and the right to live in Europe. In Ukraine, more than anywhere else, it has become clear what it truly means to be European." The word "Europe" is highlighted in green twice. The Volt logo is in the top right, and an arrow points to the right.A woman with glitter on her face is shown smiling and laughing in a crowd of protesters, with other people and signs visible in the background. The text says, "Zelensky overturned the law. Read the full story told by Volt Ukraine for details." Below the text is a green button with a link icon and the words "See link." The Volt logo is in the top right.
