What was said

"I think that if you want to have collective security of Europe, you must. If you keep if the if the European Union keeps playing this game where there multiple countries that are independent first."

Andrew Bustamante argues EU states should make a clear, time-bound choice between long-term security together and long-term independence, saying pursuing both wastes resources. He claims the current lack of commitment benefits Russia and the US, and says strategic independence would require a concrete pact and sustained co-operation. Bustamante also praises France’s DGSE and Germany’s BND, while saying EU intelligence services do not share much information with each other.
