...the European Atlanticists believe Europe needs protection, now.
I once added up the EU troop numbers and compared with the russian. It appears it was at the since deleted Boom! Headshot! diary and googlecache seams to have moved on, but anyway my point was that in number of soldiers EU and Russia is quite equally matched.
An EU with a one-for-all clause should be able to make any conventional invasion an even match or at least uneconomical, especially if NATOs common command is replaced with one for the EU. The french nukes should be enough to deter from nuclear attack.
So I do not understand what we would be needing protection from. The US? A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
Every major war since then has had no winner, except the ones who stayed out of it and thus didn't get their work force and industrial plant depleted by it.
