  1. As a member of the European Parliament, I recently had the opportunity to discuss the appointment of Ursula von der Leyden as the new President of the European Commission. Here's a quick summary of my thoughts on the matter:

    Ursula von der Leyden has been elected as the new President of the European Commission, but I have concerns about her stance on issues like an EU army and the relationship with NATO. It's important for the UK to maintain its sovereignty, including its armed forces, and giving up control to an EU army could have serious consequences.

    Here are some specific proposals I have for addressing these issues:

    1. The UK should maintain its own armed forces and not surrender its sovereignty to an EU army.
    2. The European Commission should be transparent about its plans for an EU army and the relationship with NATO.
    3. The UK government should engage in open and honest dialogue with the European Commission and other member states about these issues.
    4. The people of the UK should be consulted on any decisions regarding the country's involvement in an EU army.

  2. As a member of the European Parliament, I recently spoke about the importance of cooperation on defense issues. Here's a quick summary of my speech:

    I believe that Europeans want more collaboration on defense matters, as shown by the Eurobarometer survey. Therefore, I support the idea of a European army, which would help us better address global challenges and protect our citizens.

    Here are four concrete proposals from my speech:

    1. Invest in joint defense capabilities to improve our military's effectiveness and efficiency.
    2. Strengthen our alliances with like-minded countries around the world to promote peace and stability.
    3. Develop a comprehensive approach to security that addresses both traditional and non-traditional threats.
    4. Foster greater transparency and accountability in our defense efforts to ensure they benefit all Europeans.

  3. reasonable article that recognizes one of the main problems of Federal security classification system = US govt overclassifies & unnecessarily classifies. One proposal to remove the lowest tier "confidential" - positive (assuming they don't classify everything by default at a higher level).
