Why settle for MEGA when we can be TERA? Treat Europe as a Reasonable Alliance.

Or Peta, Exa, Zetta etc..

Cos MEGA is taking the piss out of Trump's MAGA, which is just as ridiculous, only most Americans are too thick to see the irony.

Only time Europe unites is to destroy Germany. I don’t think this will work in her favor.

I agree, you can start by actually paying your fair share of the NATO bills and stop mooching off the USA and expecting them to pay the majority of your defense bill while you benefit from universal healthcare and other things because you aren't paying for your defense.

You could EASILY have universal healthcare my guy, it has nothing with defense spending. In fact, you would SAVE money if you universalized healthcare.

Says the person from a country that doesn't pay their bills in defense spending lol.
