That's sort of the point.... no policy or seemingly priority change from the EU despite the enormous geo-political changes.

Just to add, the references to Norway and Ukraine were deliberate because they are not in the EU. Also, I don't think the requirement for third countries to commit to defence pacts with the EU is inherently bad, but it should be just that - a defence pact to meet the most pressing threat Europe faces. Making a defence pact conditional on the UK granting access to its fishing waters is moronic.

It is just sad to see the same short-sighted pettiness undermining Europe's common interest. I'm not sure your specific points hold any water; obviously nobody anywhere in Europe has voted for this in a general election / referendum, and the current UK governing party (which won a large parliamentary election last year) was for remaining in the EU.

It's not being helped if this means that rearmament will be more expensive or inefficient

Oooh very difficult. For representing moments in time rather than necessarily being the best overall games, I'd say one of Rome: Total War, Dino Crisis, San Andreas, Oblivion, and Mass Effect

I think you need to take some time away from the internet

I am on a very similar journey - good luck! WhatsApp is going to be the most difficult to shift I suspect, but I've changed my pic to let people know to contact me on Signal instead so let's see if that helps!

In practice there is no way non-US intelligence agencies are sharing intelligence that is critical to their agents' safety or national security with the US. I doubt they ever have shared that intelligence with anyone, save in very discrete circumstances. In public they will continue to pretend that they're sharing, as they have always done.

Cowards.

Read about this the other day - a great collab!

Great bunch o' lads
