""We are not at a crossroads: The road ahead is straight and it is clear. We must build our hard power, because that is the currency of the age," he said. "We must be able to deter aggression and, yes, if necessary, we must be ready to fight," he said, calling for a building of "a shared industrial base across Europe which can turbocharge our defence production" and "multiply our strengths"."
