- pablomalo 6mo agoRightfully so, I would say? Given that strategic independence is the starting point for this discussion. Personally happy that my country has some measure of military autonomy from the U.S. Though I am in favor of European integration, too.
- steve1977 6mo agoOh absolutely. I'm living in Switzerland, there was big discussion some years ago whether we should go with F-35 jets or European alternatives like the Rafale or Gripen. We went with the F-35, which, especially now, more and more looks like the wrong decision.
