>including the economic and financing power of the European Union and by reinforcing Europe’s industrial base. >invest in our critical military capabilities

Ain't that a joke. So first these people spent like 35 years deindustrializing away the old manufacturing sectors away, and then with the regulatory perpetual machine known as European Union they spent decades strangling any and all novel industries to death in their cribs. Not to mention the ever increasing tax burden this virtue signalling lunacy places on the populace. Now that it turns out that paper shuffling does not in fact produce anything physically tangible, they wish to wave a magic wand and somehow conjure an industrial base into existence that had taken previously taken well over half a century of careful cultivation to bring into being.

>enhance resilience to cognitive warfare and hybrid threats in Europe, also through the relevant EU mechanisms, and promote the resilience of our societies, Cool, so more regulations against freedom of speech then? It wouldn't do at all if young people wondered as to why there hasn't been any tangible economic growth for the last 15 years, or why they can't ever own a home like their parents or grandparents did. After all, asking those kind of questions is a threat to our European Union's democratic values.
