This is really not to say that Europe shouldn’t rearm. Very distant from what I think.

The binding 2% is for NATO, not the EU. Is Spain betraying NATO or the EU?
Is Italy also betraying Europe? Are you sure that it’s really a socialist plan? Or maybe it’s just geopolitics (meaning Spain and Italy don’t border Russia), and people in Brux tend to forget this.

But the help needed is still a scenario (although a realistic one for the future). You can call it selfishness or disbelief in the EU project. But treaties don’t force EUMSs to take common measures if a threat is perceived. The EU has not been invaded - otherwise we would agree on the term

You are very entitled to disagree but don’t you think that betrayal is quite a strong word ? Want it or not, Spain is not Poland or Lithuania and most of Spanish people may not understand the urge of “rearming”. Calling betrayal who disagrees with you sounds like a betrayal of European values to me

grazie mille!

Ciao Andrea! sarebbe molto d'aiuto se potessi fare una lista con anche giornalisti/opinionisti di rilievo attivi su Bluesky. Grazie mille
