France, Germany, Italy, and Poland have signed a letter of intent to jointly develop and acquire long-range missiles, a capability currently lacking in the European Union.
This initiative, announced on the sidelines of a NATO summit, aims to enhance the EU's strategic autonomy and deterrence capabilities. The project focuses on missiles with a range beyond 500 kilometers, addressing a critical gap in the continent's defense infrastructure.
This move signifies a significant step towards deeper defense collaboration among EU member states and a shared commitment to bolstering the continent's security architecture.

How would you feel if your country decided to join an international agreement to develop long-range missiles?

If we joined a Western European country, I'd support it. Not for anybody else.

While it's understandable that nations want to ensure their security, this move towards a more militarized Europe, with countries banding together to develop long-range missiles, raises concerns about the escalating arms race and government spending. The focus should perhaps be on fostering peace and diplomacy, rather than increasing military capabilities. It's crucial to question who really benefits from these deals and to consider the impact on taxpayers and the potential for increased tensions on the global stage.
