Sertorio is fond of the "royal we".

Out of 500 million Europeans there will be enough who think like me to justify my saying "we". Or do you doubt it?...

What we see in Europe is that the UK is happy - nay, eager - to side with the US in most matters, and that means preventing Europe from acquiring the means to act on its own.

Sorry to be a killjoy, but the legendary Europe as "a civilization, heir to the Greek/Latin civilization," is steadily becoming a "civilization" of prayer rugs necessary in support of a Mecca-centered Europe. There are a few outliers (e.g. Hungary) eager to protect a "culture of life," but too few,...

The UK will always side with the US against any attempt to make Europe more independent. And that's why it is imperative that the UK leaves the EU. No Sertorio, the author has it wrong. The "Europe" that Britain joined back in 1973 was called the European Common Market and was only a trade block. A...

Let's try and look at this from a continental European point of view. No matter what individuals may feel about it, Europe must become politically united. Each European country - even Germany or France - is too small to make any difference in world affairs, but Europe must have a voice in such affa...
