Silvia Merler argues for Euro debt assets:

“The abrupt US turn to protectionism offers a chance to strengthen the international role of the euro as a global reserve currency, and of euro assets as an appealing haven.

Europe has the motive, means and opportunity to do it. The question is if it also has the will.”

If the #EU wants to be master of their own fate, they need to support their own #defense companies and tell the US to pound sand.

“Can the US switch off Europe’s weapons?”

One more for the “De Gaulle was right” file.

Levels of dependence which might have been necessary in a Cold War context, and with much weaker European integration, feel baffling a generation later.

Now we’ve got total dependence on a brain-dead NATO and EU Defence not yet born.

Europe must “prepare for the worst”, says von der Leyen.

That is, sadly, exactly the language we need. And it’s not about Ukraine, who are already facing the worst.

Just how frustrating it is to have to wait for an Australian to show us which are the real problems for the military defence of Europe.

i.e. it's not the lack of money, it's the lack of common policy.

Graph on defence expenditure by NATO states in PPP terms in 2024.

USA spends 967 billions dollars.

Non US States spend 746 billion dollars.

Great point by Kate McNamara!

Eurobonds now to finance our military rebuilding. They would sell well.

Coalition of the EU willing, if needed, and if we can’t solve resistance from Karlsruhe, Die Linke, or Fico.

Kate McNamara on Bluesky:

“as America implodes from within, it'd be a *great* time for the EU to finally do official Eurobonds. It'd likely be very attractive as a safe haven given the destruction of US hegemony & spillover to US T-bills. Bonus: Eurobonds can finance a desperately needed European security”
