We have to get to moving in the EU. The signs of dissolution and conflict are all around us. In the Middle East, lately in the UK.
We need to start working on a thorough reform to avoid these conflicts.
The good thing about the EU is, that the EU is much more ready for a positive development than most other countries and federations, because it is still so new.
So can we find an example on where things were really working in the past?
The best, most positive development of the EU was under the leadership of Mr. Jacques Chirac. What did Mr. Chirac do, that furthered the cause of the EU? He was a centrist.
He took the good parts of the right and the good parts of the left and made them the ideas of his reform of the EU.
Add to this, he was a brilliant politician.
So this is a template, that the EU can use to further its solidification in a very turbulent time.
Let’s have a look at the policies of the time.
First of all, there is the economy. Here the Bidennomics is implemented in the EU. That is a protected market, protected from the piracy economics that China is doing with dumping prices in certain markets with state support.
This is a very narrow line to balance, because free markets are important to make sure, that the industries are able to develop under the stress that usually is on a free market. So we have to make sure, that we keep production in Europe, and at the same time do not make the European economy state sponsored.
It is already on its way, and hopefully it will create as much work in Europe as in the US, where we have the greatest job boom in a long time, due to these policies.
The thing is one working job makes 6-10 jobs in the service sector. That is why production is so valuable seen from an economical perspective and from a union perspective.
Secondly there is security. Again here we have a hornets nest. If we do not get it right, civil war may ensure.
How do we tackle that?
First of all, we DO NOT talk about race. If we fuel the race wars, then we get race wars. So, what we do, is to clamp down on islamists in our counterterrorist work. That is not all Muslims only ISIS and the like. If we have acts of terrorism as we have had in Germany, we make sure that the terrorist and the terrorist infrastructure is treated with all means of the security apparatus. At the same time, normal, peaceful and respectable Muslim, are treated with respect.
We all have civil rights.
Thirdly there is the discussion of the army.
We need to protect our borders, and if we want to make a place where we can process asylum seekers in Rwanda or the like. We need to have the ability to secure that process.
So, the EU wants an army, to do some of these things.
How do we do that?
We just put up a central command.
Soldiers obey orders. BUT we RESPECT the traditions of the armies.
We cannot change how the armies work, but we can COORDINATE the different tasks that the army does.
So that is quite easy, if we treat the process under a light umbrella.
Make a central command, man it with a federal general, an admiral and coordinate the forces of the federation.
Fourthly, there is green change and domestic energy production.
We are already working quite hard on that here in Denmark/Germany and it should just be more focused and step up in tempo.
And lastly, we need to unite and not be divided. We do this by strengthening the institutions, make them better.
G-d bless the will to make the EU work and prosper.
