Starting this thread and hopefully it stays a general. There's no thread dedicated to the EVROPA and what happens here.
everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.
Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.
Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.
Is there anything else happening?

In today’s geopolitical reality, the superpowers Russia, China, and the USA all seek to fragment and weaken the European Union. Russia invades neighbors, China traps nations in debt via Belt and Road, and America exploits divisions with “America First” policies.
Campism is misguided: “socialist” China practices social imperialism, preaching equality while pursuing hegemony through coercion.
A fractured EU would leave member states vulnerable to blackmail: energy dependence on Russia, Chinese investments with strings attached, or US trade pressure, and empower far-right authoritarians who rollback workers’, women’s, LGBTQ+, and climate rights.
Only a strong, united EU can defend democracy, social justice, and progressive gains against these predatory forces.
>>2609206Pathological russophobia dominates the EU. I am not surprised by that. But I am surprised to see even the European ‘Left’ indulging in that.
>>2609208If China is social imperialist, what does that make the EU?
In what world do you live to think that the EU defends democracy and social justice?
>>2609122Ah yes, anglos, the most class conscious people of all of Europe!
>>2609210Yeah that doesn't track. If the apparent split between the US and EU turns out to be both genuine and permanent, then the only leftist argument for the EU would as a means to promote multipolarity.
>>2609214There is no split between the US and the EU. Are you communists or are you liberals in this thread, seriously?
>>2609218there is. trump and the american elites want to destroy and split up the EU. they hate the EU and this is why the US teamed up with russia against europe. this is why tgey support the far right in europe, which are all anti-EU.
>>2609218The US under Trump is literally threatening to conquer European territory.
>>2609222Trump’s aping is temporary. I guarantee you the ‘institoooshons’ of America and EU are as united as ever. Trump and JD Vance are like Modi and Putin: a lot of posturing in the media to lull their bases in thinking they are moving things when in reality NADA
>>2609223One has to be very naive to think that the US has to conquer anything in Europe. The whole EU is already an American vassal.
>>2609224you are right. we should just believe whatever we want and pretend nothing has changed in the last couple of years.
>>2609228Why pretend the vassal status of EU changed when it did not?
Do you just swallow whatever DW, LCI and BBC propagandises?
>>2609218There is no real split between east and west either, sure some plebs are dying and they fine each other sometimes but they keep trading and supporing Israel
>>2609232It is your choice to believe in the cheap spectacle that EU and US are at loggerheads.
You have too much faith in the EU’s autonomy.
>>2609234Don't care about spectacle, the US is putting tariffs on Europe because they seethe about their exports being too competitve compared to burger dogshit and the EU hasn't folded yet. Same for Ukraine where the EU wants to mog Russia and keep things steady with China while the US wants peace to befriend Russia and focus on China. There are obviously competing interests there.
>>2609218>There is no split between the US and the EUAre euros this ignorant on purpose
>>2609234>eu autonomy You mean French autonomy
>>2609277nah they're probably just brits
>>2609317Thanks for the video anon! Should pboblly post it in ISG or something.
>>2609655>>Rather than starting a new Nordic weapons program, Jarlov suggests France should transfer some of its nuclear arsenal to other EU countries. This would share the burden of defense and ensure the "nuclear umbrella" covers the entire Union, a concept French President Emmanuel Macron has previously hinted atThe nordics have no shame
>>2609317I think russia should de nazify its self
>>2609702Eugenie Bastie is hot though. Would gladly clap her catho cheeks
Reminder that contrary to Euro hysteria, there is no split between the USA and EU. The EU remains a loyal vassal of the USA.
The supposed Russian-American bonhomie is just Putin being a cuck like always. The USA is still as predatory as ever when it comes to Russia and the EU is their big base for russophobic operations.
Only stupid Euros who are high on DW and France24 copium think the EU is an independent entity which can seriously 'ditch' the USA if they want to.
>>2609188>>2609200The entire world just watched how these brave Muslims did nothing when Israel destroyed Gaza though.
Leaving the EU, an emergency

>>2609745>russophobic operationsLike what? Russia has been appeased by Merkel and the Minsk protocol and regardless of that they attacked (and failed miserably) in 2022. The EU got no other choice than to support Ukraine ever since then.
>>2609751"These brave muslims", who thinks like this? You have internalised the far-rights 'clash of civilisations' nonsense!
Is the current Palestinian movement the only conflict opposing muslims to imperialists in history? Are there no natlib examples in the 20th century when the colonised side was either fully islamist or atleast had a significant islamist component?
Quelle mauvaise foi !
>>2609755>appeased by Minsk Lmao you do realise they spat on his face, right? Are you all morons in this thread?
>>2609755Yes, we get it, Third Worldism is correct, just from Western fucks being hopeless alone. You can stop proving it now.
>>2609745You make it sound like Europe needs the US to be russophobic
>>2609763I am not a Third Worldist. I think Third Worldism is incorrect.
I do not understand how you concluded any Third Worldist narrative from my posts.
>>2609765Oh no they are russophobes by themselves alright. It just provides fertile ground for the US, among other things.
>>2609766Simply from you talking. Like, five minutes, of you trying to weigh in on any current world events is enough to turn people into Third Worldists. Like, damn, there's a bunch of morons that will not, and should not, amount to anything.
Reminder that anyone who proposes to do anything in current situation is an opportunist.
>>2609770Dispelling myths about the EU is in no way Third Worldist.
I don't think you know what t
Third Worldism is.
>>2609757No, you and other third worldists think in terms of Clash of Civilizations. The colonial nations are failed and their elites are now fully integrated into capitalism. That's why even something as atrocious as Gaza was didn't lead to a coalition of Islamic countries against Israel.
>>2609759Nice arguments.
>>2609763In the past few years the West won on every front, from Palestine to Iran and to Ukraine. Unorganized masses of people won't achieve even minor changes let alone revolution and masses organized by false ideologies like religion or tribes will dig their own graves.
>>2609779None of what I wrote here is Third Worldist in any sense.
The Gypsies will inherit Europe.
Reminder that internationalism cannot exist without nationalism.
>>2609947>semantic argumentLmao
>>2610018>inability to understandLmao
>>2610049I lend my voice to that of Président Macron and affirm the right of the enlightened Danes to rule over the backwards
mongoloid Greenlanders.
>According to JD Vance, the American Vice-President, the European nuclear weapons could fall into the hands of "individuals close to Islamism" within 15 years, he told the conservative media Unherd. "It's a very direct threat to the United States of America", he considers, worrying about the loss of a "common cultural base" between his country and the Old Continent.
