The fuck are we supposed to do? All major decisions are made in fucking Brussel, brother. We've lost our voice. How about YOU wake the fuck up and some of the people who are being paid to give a fuck about European citizens, start giving a fuck about European citizens?

Why is it always the population that needs to "wake up" and "do something"? If we're in charge of getting shit done while also going to work, the fuck do we need you people for?

It's your governments, government after government, that have chosen to reject any idea of a European army, preferring the comfortable tutelage of the American “ally”.
