@spartanx9293 Airbus subsidiaries are equally involved in manufacturing components for the F-35. The Eurofighter was no real option for Germany's nuclear sharing role. Moreover, Germany ordered a relatively small number of F-35s. Germany's smaller neighbours Switzerland, Finland, the Netherlands and Italy have ordered more. Airbus is fussing on principle, not because it got its arse kicked. It's not like Airbus lacks orders with Boeing blundering all over the place.

@spartanx9293 Your knowledge is off. Airbus offers three military aircraft: the A400M airlifter; the C295 tactical transport and the A330 multi-role tanker/transport. Which one of these is a multi-role fighter in competition with the F-35? As to your next claim, that "Airbus has been getting ass kicked [sic] by Lockheed Martin", how so? The only overlap is the C130J Super Hercules. The A400M is replacing it, slowly but surely.

As a EU citizen, I hope the EU steers clear of becoming a super power. I don't take it as a compliment.

@ettoreatalan8303 There's just the one superpower, the USA. Russia is a wannabe/hasbeen superpower, China has aspirations to become one, but both are regional powers all the same. So, how does the EU's supposed submissiveness and blackmail manifest itself? Give us a few concrete examples. However, I do consider the EU a moral superpower. It's not propping up countries that ride roughshod over human rights in exchange for geopolitical favours, nor is it engaging in military adventurism that always tends to end in tears. As a supranational union, its decision-making process is laborious, but for a good reason. Warts and all, the EU sets an example for the whole world.

@captain__castle3177 "The Marshall plan rebuilt the entire continent"? Oh, we can pride ourselves with making do without the Marshall plan and repaying all debts, too. The 20th century has a real success story for us, the disaster of WW2 notwithstanding. The strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire, they say.

@captain__castle3177 I'm not every European. Earlier, Europe was just a continent. Unlike you, we never had any colonies. And we stayed out of WW1. In the 20th century, we went from a backwards country to a top one. And I believe the Spanish flu was American in origin.
