“Cumulative offspring tally for the group: Zero.”
Don’t be too quick to trust the internet on that “Zero” count.
Ursula von der Leyen, of Germany, has 7 kids. https://www.dw.com/en/ursula-von-der-leyen-to-live-in-brussels-office/a-50692266 She was out of office in July.
Ank Bijleveld, of Holland, has two kids.
Some of the female ministers of defense in recent years had kids while others didn’t.
I don't know when the pic was taken (I think it was Mark Steyn who referenced it a year ago or more), and I don't think it comprised *all* of the EU defense ministers. Hence (IDK but I'm guessing) it might be that Leyen and Bijleveld were absent when the pic was taken, and/or it was taken before Bijleveld had her kids?
I think the bigger point stands: the indigenous European peoples are at an ethno-suicidal rate of subfertility --one which guarantees their disappearance from the stage of history --- and the EU elites, the ruling classes, are in general the barrenest of the bunch.
Whether you're a Defense Minister or not, your first job in defending your nation is to produce and maintain--- to populate--- your nation.
There future will be inherited by those who show up.
