Re: "Five of the west's most senior (4.00 / 4)

"A shift from consensus decision-taking in Nato bodies to majority voting, meaning faster action through an end to national vetoes."
Majority voting on war and peace? Don't even vassals have the right to decide if they want to kill and die?

"The time has come for Germany to decide if it wants to be a reliable partner."
Really? Can we finally say No?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
