Forget the tactical symbol BS.

European governments have a duty to keep their citizens safe and to enforce freedom of navigation for economic activities within our own territories. 🇪🇺🛡️

No-fly zones shouldn't be established within our own territories. 🙅🏻‍♂️

#European citizens
Some of us may not like #Europe. The rules " #Brussels " imposes on us.
Maybe you glorify "the good old days". Yet a United Europe is our best shot.
We will face competition from the US, China &...
Either we compete or will be subjected to their rule.

Not for conquest, nor for show,
But from our leanest, strongest grow.
A shield of steel, a thunder's might,
Forged in fires of pure right.

The spared coin, the future's hold,
To arm the brave, the fiercely bold.
If malice rises, let shadows creep,
They'll find a harvest they can't keep.
