Do we need the United States of Europe?

In this episode, Fabian is joined by Teun Janssen, policy advisor for Volt in the European Parliament, to discuss European power and its place in the world. Does the European Union need to integrate more deeply in security and defense policy? Or does the European Union need to become the "United States of Europe" to survive in an unforgiving and increasingly competitive international environment? This episode seeks answers.If you want to support our show, go to our Buy Me A Coffee page at http://buymeacoffee.com/mildlyalarmedCredits: Anastasiia Lapatina is Ukraine Fellow at Lawfare.
