Pro-European, only a federal Europe can compete at the same level as the US and China.
The EU should have some initiative, close the Danish Straits to all Russian ships, 30% of Russian oil exports go thru this European chokepoint.
Europeans are already at war with Russia, but this will most likely shorten the duration of the war, and we all want the end of it asap.

One more high-ranking politician advocating a federal Europe.
Citizens use and enjoy the federal institutions, they want an assertive Europe.
"all historic confederations became federations or ceased to exist..." Radek Sikorski, Polish foreign minister.

How about giving Ukraine the Taurus cruise missile to destroy the Kerch bridge? How strong would Putin feel? He might not even show up.

The information machine is fed by the need of controversy, if there isn’t one the likes of Rupert Murdoch will create it. Farage, Le Pen, Trump… are some of the favourite characters of such a press.
The state failed the public by allowing the existence of unaccountable propaganda newslords.

Everyone praises and quotes Mario Draghi's report, even those in power... they just don't walk the talk.
Europe needs capable knowledgeable pan-European thinkers and Mario Draghi is the man, let us 'use' him while he is around.

Draghi has the knowledge to navigate these kinds of storms and would have influenced EU state leaders into not accepting such a shameful act.
He is quoted by everyone everywhere, but no one in decision making seats walks the talk, give the man the presidency of the EU.

Draghi has the knowledge to engage with EU state leaders and offer a strong and based opinion on all there is to discuss about EU issues, he just isn’t made to be a status quo manager. Europe needs a reformist.

Europe for the English is only good when they are "the sick man of Europe", when they peaked in all sectors due to being a member of the EU, hubris made them leave.
Now they are negotiating opt-ins to avoid going bust... Europe is again their lifeline.
