The probably even more impactful strategy is deepening economic integration between Europe and the Americas, including a #NATO based #DefenseUnion--w/o the #US while #Trump...

... area while adding the dimension that alwas had been missing, a #DefenseUnion, from the ashes of #NATO.

As #JustinTrudeau said, the ... Dumbest Trade War in History.

The intentional(?) destruction of the #US superpower by the #MAGAmerican Regime might yet proof a boon for a European renaissance and a more multipolar word than the autocrats Trump, Putin, Xi hoped 4

... As of #Vance"is historic speech at the #MSC this year, the necesities have changed, grown exponentially :

The remaining #West needs a deeper (#DefenseUnion) and wider union (#CEUM):

Eventually, a deeper union of the West's states will further #Democracy in the #West, as the hegemony of the #US is balanced by a "confederation"...

... they all banded together and formed a new #FreeTradeArea, based on current #FTA's and, in part, a new #DefenseUnion? --I've dubbed this #CEUM for #Canada, #Europe, and #Mexico.1) The #EU's new deal with #Mercosur could also be a nice extension and would help to fend off the West's (real) #YellowPeril in the #Americas.

Once the #MAGATs are out off office again, a "sanitized" #US can join, too.

You are very welcome.

Do you think such a Euro-North-American #FreeTradeArea, omitting the #MAGAmerica, would get a majority in #Canada?

My idea is to start deepening it towards a #DefenseUnion and other areas, similar to precursors of the #EU.

finally form a #EuropeanDefenseForce.

That must be equipped and financed. A "#DefenseUnion' is indispensable now.

Also, in economic terms, as I don't disagree with your current #UKpol assessment, and as I do believe that ALL European countries...

...precursors to the #EuropeanUnion, like the #EC, as well as (finally!) a #DefenseUnion, should be on the table. Non-EU neighbors, such as the #UK and #Turkey should be considered as further partners. Too many different treaties are red tape slowing down decision-making processes and thus resilience in a chaotic environment.

Concurrently, the project of a #EuropeanArmy...
