Alright, so the EU's cooked up this "military Schengen" idea, right? The pitch is simple: make it easier for armies to zoom across Europe like tourists on a booze-fueled gap year. Supposedly, this is all about scaring Putin and showing him we're ready to rumble by 2030. But let's be real, does anyone actually think this is going to work smoothly?

The Devil's in the Red Tape (As Always)

Kaja Kallas, the EU foreign policy chief, whines about a 45-day notice period for troop movements. Forty-five days! In this day and age, that's an eternity. She calls it "not good enough," which is putting it mildly. You think? But the solution – a "military Schengen" zone – sounds like trading one bureaucratic headache for another.

They want exemptions from EU rules, faster customs, and priority for military convoys. Okay, great. But who's going to decide what qualifies as an "emergency situation"? Some pencil-pusher in Brussels? I can already see the arguments: "My tanks are more important than your tanks!" "My troops really need that extra day off!"

And this isn't even touching on the physical limitations. Bridges that can't hold tanks? Runways too short for cargo planes? Seriously? It's like they're planning a war with 1940s infrastructure. They’ve identified 500 priority spots that need upgrades costing around €100 billion. Where's that money coming from? Oh right, the same EU member states who are already squabbling over the overall budget. Good luck with that. According to a recent report, the EU is developing a Plan to speed tanks and armies across Europe in case of war with Russia.

Space Oddities and Terror Plots

And while we’re at it, let’s not forget Europe's space ambitions. They’re all about "strategic autonomy" in space, which is code for "we don't want to rely on Elon Musk anymore." Italy is launching a satellite on a Falcon 9 rocket because the Vega C is still having issues. So much for European independence, huh? But hey, at least they’re planning a fourth satellite for 2027.

Meanwhile, the Mossad is running around exposing Hamas terror networks in Europe. Apparently, there was this "Hamas Octopus" plotting attacks on Jewish targets. Weapons caches found, arrests made… it’s like a bad spy movie. And allegedly, Hamas political bigwigs in Qatar were pulling the strings. Are we really supposed to believe that Hamas is somehow both a sophisticated global terror network and a bunch of disorganized amateurs? I don’t know. Mossad exposes Hamas network plotting attacks on Jewish targets in Europe.

Honestly, sometimes I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

The "Critical Insurance Policy" (Yeah, Right)

Kallas calls military mobility a "critical insurance policy." But insurance policies are only good if they actually pay out when you need them. And judging by the EU's track record, I wouldn't bet my life – or anyone else's – on this "military Schengen" actually working when the chips are down.

Another EU Pipe Dream?
