Gerade diese Denkweise stellt ja Tusks Kommentar in Frage.
The point is having a common language and thus economic and cultural advantages. English is a secondary language for most people. In the US, it's probably replaced with Spanish.
With Arabic, you have many more primary language speakers. Thanks to immigration, the transition to Arabic can be made easy. Then it's possible to sell products in one packaging from Portugal to India.
I am not arguing that this should happen. It's just an opportunity that is not obvious because Arabic is not a traditional European language. Though I would assume that there are now more Arabic than Basque speakers.
The point of speaking Arabic would be to have the same language as North Africa and Arabia. And once Europe speaks Arabic, neighboring countries like Turkye, Iran or Pakistan and India could see the benefit in joining.
This doesn't mean that those countries become part of the EU. It would just create a huge zone with a single language which has its own advantages.
It depends on what Europe wants to be. The language is in some ways connected to the culture. Would Europe get a more Mediterranean savoir vivre if everybody spoke Spanish or French? I think so.
An ambitious and interesting option for Europe could be Arabic as the lingua franca. If Europe commits, other countries like Iran or India could also be interested in joining. That could create a huge area with a single language as long as it doesn't splinter into dialects like the current Arabic.

dass die US-Armee unter Trump die IT-Systeme des Jets jederzeit abstellen kann.
Als wenn sie das vorher nicht gekonnt hätten.
Was ist die tatsächliche Bedrohungslage? Laut Tusk ist die Gefahr durch Russland nicht so gross. Hat man die Jets bestellt weil man sie braucht oder weil man das Handelsdefizit mit den USA ausgleichen wollte?
Life will find a way. Going back can be used to create nuclear winter but even then, life will go on.
To completely screw over the world, I would go into the future and acquire the source code for a general AI.
Then the world can be locked down and robots can be built to abuse every human and sentinent being individually, for a very long time.

Die zuhe Flasche mehrmals schnell mit ausgestrecktem Arm von oben nach unten vor dem Koerper schwingen. Dabei die Flasche so halten, dass der Verschluss nach aussen zeigt.
Yanis Varoufakis explains the reasoning
He knew that before Trump's election but didn't make it an issue. He also knows that it implies that Russia will never attack Poland, let alone Poland allied with Europe.
What's the real need for the strengthened military?
What's the line of reason? They voted according to their core values and since they have to pay for the implementation, they should change their values or should have voted solely by self interest?
Is the position of 'the left' that it is right to vote in self interest and not for the common good?

As a map some days ago showed, Canada, Greenland, Panama, probably Israel, maybe even Ukrain - it's all about shipping lanes.
All that effort makes sense if there is the believe that global trade will increase and that the USA will still be relevant when the center of the global population is in Asia.
So extinction is not the goal but could be an accepted risk.
