“Germany and France are already working together on the project of a European future combat aircraft,” she wrote in an essay in the German newspaper Die Welt (English translation here ). “The next step could be the start of the symbolic project of building a common European aircraft carrier to express the global role of the European Union as a power ensuring security and peace.”
Merkel seemed to endorse the idea. "It's right and good that we have such equipment on the European side, and I'm happy to work on it."Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. -

Who's going to pay for it all (something like $3tn)? And who shall we put in charge of it all?
