    In ~2016 I started r/EuropeanArmy. I was very active in r/EuropeanFederalists at that time and I still think that (sadly) a European Federation would need a (somewhat) united military force. „European Army“ was a buzzword put forward by Macron as a reaction to Brexit. I just ran with it. I dropped Reddit some years ago. The subs are still there and have some active users.

    PESCO, CARD, Framework Nation Concept, FCAS … there have been plenty of topics. Looking at this years Eurosatory: the European Industrial Military Complex has just started. Imho it is very important to take a close look — especially as someone from the left side of the political spectrum.

      Sure, but posting lobby outlet press releases of arms dealers is not a close look (especially when there is no commentary at all), and in any case it should be done in a seperate community.

        Yeah, I‘m on the same page. I just realised that perhaps a community like „EuropeanArmy“ is needed on Lemmy as well. In the current political environment maybe more important than ever.
