>>204538416Ugly flag
Walkable citis be bussin doe
>>204538534Did you know: that flag, the flag of Europe, was originally designed in the 1950s for the Council of Europe, which is a non-EU institution (pic related, every country in blue is in the Council of Europe).The EU just decided to adopt the same flag 30 years later, in the 1980s.Therefore non-EU European countries can fly the Flag of Europe because it doesn't necessarily mean they're in the EU.
>>204539325good job ruining a probably nice symbolic flag or something, EU
We should go back warring against each other and the savages
anti anime thread also. but why is brit invited
>>204540149How did they ruin it>>204540309Dying in a war sounds bad>>204540488Why aren't you asking why Norway is invited? They're also not in the EU. Why do people always single out Britain?
I'm here doing european stuff
Came across this article about Euro-English. What do you think?https://www.politico.eu/article/how-i-stopped-worrying-and-learned-to-love-euro-english/
>>204538416>/tr/we aren't fucking european>inb4 thrace (for the 5th time)do you also consider french south american because they have french guinnea?
>>204541535please be europeani want your women
>The executive arm of the European Union approved €300 million (US$317 million) in funding for five joint defense-procurement projects by member states, the first time the bloc uses its budget to finance common defense buying.>The European Commission will provide €60 million for each of the items on its shopping list, which include the Mistral short-range air defense system, IRIS-T SLM medium-range air defense system, armored vehicles and ammunition, it said in a statement on Thursday.>The joint-procurement mechanism is a new step in the 27-nation bloc’s attempts to become a more credible player in defense, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and amid concerns about Europe’s reliance on the U.S. for security. The EU in March presented its first-ever defense industrial strategy, and this year created the role of defense commissioner for the bloc.https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2024/11/15/eu-approves-first-ever-funding-for-joint-weapons-ammo-procurement/
>>204541674At last
>>204541276Good post>>204541401It's just natural that languages adapt and evolve. Maybe we in Britain will eventually adopt some of these Euro-English words and phrases.>>204541535>do you also consider french south american because they have french guinnea?You mean Guiana, but yes I do.>>204541596Hello Sven, please send me some snus, thanks
>>204541768it's a small step, but a step in the right direction nonetheless>The EU has set out targets for member states to buy at least 40% of their defense equipment together by 2030, as well as spend at least half of their procurement budgets on products made in Europe. The commission says the benefits of joint procurement include economies of scale, better interoperability between EU countries’ armed forces, and larger contracts that will strengthen the European defense industry and allow it to adapt production capacity to the continent’s needs.
Eurocucks kekw
>>204541805Eurocuck Death Squads barging into houses for hate speech on TwitterWhat do you retards need an army for if your governments are replacing you even during peace time? To give them more power over you? Europe is a joke without NATO.
>>204541805Sounds good>>204541824>>204541963$0.01 USD has been deposited in your account
>>204541805The continent absolutely should benefit from joint procurement.
>>204542033UK isn't involved via the EU but has signed bilateral defense agreements too>>204542043yup
>>204541784snus gives you mouth and throat cancer
>>204542094>UK isn't involved via the EU but has signed bilateral defense agreements tooInteresting, I saw a news story about this the other day, pic related
>>204542172yes, maritime patrol aircraft like pic relatedUK already operates them, Germany has them on orderUK and Germany also procure artillery together and will develop long-range missiles together with other Euros too
>>204542135True, but whatever. In the UK you can now get tobacco-free nicotine pouches. But I like snus.
>>204542260Good stuff. Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say.
>>204542814yesI would've preferred a European-made maritime patrol aircraft, but that would've taken longer
>>204541674We don't even have enough men to staff our ships, we are the weakest country in the EU by far. Such a shame. Hopefully Russia doesn't pull any shit here or we are fucked, even if we are irrelevant.
>>204543791yes, Ireland is completely dependent on the UK for defensewhich is fine for Ireland honestly, Russia lacks the power projection to attack you and the UK/NATO is easily able to protect you from any potential Russian attackbut considering your size and wealth, you should definitely be doing more, drop your stupid neutrality (?) and contribute to the joint effort. Same story for Austria, but they aren't *as* naked as you when it comes to military.
>>204538416>no basado spanish flag in this threadShitty thread.
>>204538416Interacting with yous on /int/ has made me sincerely hate all of yous
>>204538416I will unironically convert to Islam if the AFD loses.Maybe I can become commander of the faithful or smth like that.
>>204544621>liking AFDAre are you an Ossie or something?
>>204543621Good point. Our Royal Air Force does use some Airbus planes like pic related.One of these is used by our prime minister to travel the world. It did look like pic related, but then they stupidly painted it in white with a UK flag and gold lettering, because they like wasting taxpayer money.
the decaying civilization
>>204544962Sad but true
>>204543791>>204543887I guess it's pretty unlikely that Russia would attack Ireland any time soon because Russia has their hands full in Ukraine>>204544128Why do you hate your fellow Europeans?
>>204544870Didn't say that but it's complicated.No sense in converting to Islam and marrying an arab or central asian trad wife if she is going to get deported you see?Like I am considering it to find an actual close-knit community but if the whole community gets deported I might as well not bother.
>>204544621>>204545039So you want to convert to Islam in order to find a close-knit community?There are other close-knit communities out there. But if you like Islam then go for it.
>>204545306
>>204545893
>>204545988I'll explain it simpleI convert to Islam and AFD comes to power I will get deported thus if the AFD wins I will not convert to IslamIf I convert to Islam and AFD loses I can stay in Germany and everything will be fine
>>204545893>>204546032You won't get deported since nothing ever happens. They will AT MOST ban hijabs but that's about it.
>>204546123That's true. Maybe I'll convert afterall.
>>204545350>There are other close-knit communities out thereSuch as? Maybe baptists but everyone looks down on them.
>>204545524Good post>>204546721Just find a group of like-minded people I guess. People with similar values/interests to yourself.
>>204544870i once checked the list of AfD politicians in Ossiland and half of them had Slavic surnames lmao
>>204547853Most german chuds are east german who have slavic roots
>>204547942will the PruBian spirit ever stop harassing otherwise peaceful and liberal Germans?
>>204541535>we aren't fucking europeanOP is a swede, they are obsessed with mudslims
>>204540799>How did they ruin itthe EU?
>>204538416/mol/it's /md/ god damn itand it's not even /md/, it's /ro/
>>204539325At least 3 of these don't deserve to be in it.
>>204548263European co-operation has many benefits>>204548423I assume you mean Turkey and the Caucasus nations. I think they're alright though. There are people in all of those countries who want to be more connected to Europe. And they all have at least some territory within the traditional boundaries of Europe.
>>204548554>And they all have at least some territory within the traditional boundaries of Europe
>>204544128bit racist innit
>>204544922that's an A330 MRTT, very good tanker aircraftthe UK uses the A400M too, that's a European co-development between Germany, UK, France and Spain>they stupidly painted it in white with a UK flag and gold lettering, because they like wasting taxpayer money.yes, I hate that too. the German air force does these stupid paint jobs a lot too, I'm sure each of them costs thousands, but then we don't have enough ammo or proper upgrades for the aircraft.anyway both the UK and Germany rely too much on American weapons imo, we should take an example from France and seek to be more self-reliant in Europe, that takes an effort in the short term but provides benefits in the long run.>>204544962>>204544984yup unfortunately true. doesn't mean we have to or should put the head in the sand though.>>204545009>I guess it's pretty unlikely that Russia would attack Ireland any time soon because Russia has their hands full in Ukrainesure, but Ireland is still a member of the EU and receives protection from the UK while spending less than .5% of GDP on its defense. They should contribute some too. Collective effort.
>>204538416misses /rus/. And these ones: /tr/, /ch/, /arm/, /ge/, /az/, /alb/, /бг/, /ქართ/ don't belong here.
>>204551934>/tr/
Dead rotting corpse of a continent
>>204553862Sour grapes, burger.
>>204545009Cause it's all a dick measuring contest in the end, there's no camaraderie >>204549391Not racist, just nationalistic
>>204555909doesn't make sense to reject EU cohesion and then complain about lack of camaraderie.
>>204556007But it does, I don't wanna be friends with people who insult me behind my back, this is not Italy or anything specific but all of Europe in general, there's a reason we were constantly at war before the US neutered the whole continent We're just too different,maybe you can have a Germanic union, Iberia etc., but the EU is just too big to work
>>204549273If the line is I or J then yes>>204550954>anyway both the UK and Germany rely too much on American weapons imo, we should take an example from France and seek to be more self-reliant in Europe, that takes an effort in the short term but provides benefits in the long run.I agree>sure, but Ireland is still a member of the EU and receives protection from the UK while spending less than .5% of GDP on its defense. They should contribute some too. Collective effort.True they probably should>>204551934R*ssia doesn't want to be part of Europe. They even renamed Europe Square in Moscow to Eurasia Square.And those other ones you mentioned, they all have some territory in Europe. Some of the ones you mentioned are wholly within Europe (Switzerland, Albania, Bulgaria)
>>204555909>Cause it's all a dick measuring contest in the end, there's no camaraderie You could say that about every 4chan thread>>204556169>the EU is just too big to workIt has survived for decades so far
>>204556169I don't wanna be too rude but you probably spend too much time online, especially in echochambers like here where it's considered normal to talk shit about each other. Europeans are not too different, especially not young people. Young educated Europeans do Erasmus and no they don't hate each other.
>>204556471>Europeans are not too different, especially not young people.True. I have met young Europeans in the UK, both at uni and at work. I had a lot in common with a few of them which I guess isn't surprising since we all find the same stuff on the internet these days.

>>204557508Good evening>>204557650>often they're boomers with a grudgeTrue for many boomers although not all.
