      Definitely makes sense to break the paralysis of European countries to move forward. And it could become like „leading by example“. If they are successful in what they do, other countries will want to join by themselves.

      They’re inviting France, Poland, Spain, Italy and the ⁠Netherlands for a video meeting.

      That might be a good idea.

      On the one hand, we would have the concrete application of Béla Balassa’s theory: total economic integration which, on paper, would solve all the current problems of the European Union.

      And on the other hand, we would keep the current system for the other countries. This would make it much easier to integrate new members, like Ukraine or Turkey.

      The key idea is that these countries, seeing that total union works extremely well, would eventually want to join as well.

      That used to be anathema but with the , let’s say „ambitious“, enlargement of the EU it has to make sense.

      Due to the complexity of modern systems, to be self sufficient and a global force, there needs to be some nation-level centers of excellence, which are brought together synnergistically. Instead each country is often duplicating rather than dominating.

      For example, France would be the logical lead for nuclear deterrant. 

      Each nation needs to become the exemplar for certain research and industrial excellence, in addition to its normal economy. Of course, thered still be a lot of collaboration and it wouldnt stick only to a country, but the UK, for example, could if it joined, make use of its military forces and logistics, and inparticular in the medical field, the NHS has at its dusposal the best training set possible for treatment and medication data for AI, and devising Palantir like organisational level AI is needed for the NHS. Additionally, the UK population is now truly diverse, so all possible racial medical information is available to optimise medical treatments across any population. Therefore I would propose the UK focuses on medicine as a service and the systems that support that. After all UK is the origin of Googles DeepMind.

      Other countries can focus on things like agriculture robotics and AI, etc.

      Europe also needs to build its silicon valley. The south might be best for that as half the talent might literally migrate in from California.

      So they can’t convince the majority of countries to follow them and now they try it by blackmail. Nice. „All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal“.

      Wild to see Germany pushing this, the country where nothing ever happens. France will just take the lead if they’re getting complacent, I’m sure. Let’s go.

      Aren’t Denmark and Ireland economies growing aster than Germany? How are they making these selections of who is in and out?

      Looks good on paper. But can it be the beginning of the end of EU? Once you start to split where does it stop?

      I simply cannot see France and Germany getting their game together. France has a debt problem, burgeoning bureaucracy, a fat welfare system and zero reforms. Germany is creating massive debt, has a shrinking economy, a homegrown energy problem and a big coalition government that is heavily leaning to the left. Those two nations will not lead Europe to success. (I have much more faith in the others)

      Surely thie won’t create two competing power blocs in the EU, resulting in its eventual dissolution as these countries become resentful of the partners they leave behind, who themselves are dissatisfied with being treated like cilonial posessions

      I see few big problems. Firstly, is seems to be act of divison between and in Europe. Even name „two-speed“ indicates it. I of course understand and respect the initiative but sound bit like smaller ( not weaker) are throw over board.

      The articel of indicates that other will also win (for example stronger EURO), but the way to do it seems bit strange. Problem is also in the precedent, who will say that soon nordic countries will not make similar group ( although they have) why not balcan or batlics? The act itself is understood.. alliances are made inside the EU now and have been done before and will be established in future, but the way THIS is communicated to public, sounds like its deliberately made for dividing the EU and only to target development for the heartland of Europe wich is very narrow view and especially from security standpoint.

      Sorry for pessimism
