France and Germany are preparing joint proposals for a “more active and more useful” European defense policy, the French defense ministry told AFP on Friday. […]

The Franco-German document proposes the establishment of a European defense headquarters, a common satellite surveillance system and the sharing of logistics and military medical resources, according to the Saturday edition of the German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung.

There would be a tighter circle of EU members for some defense projects where it proves impossible to gain agreement from all, the paper added, citing the document. …

Where does NATO fit into the scheme of things? Are they dropping out?

Closing the drawbridge after the enemy hordes are inside the castle walls.

Do they even agree on who the enemy is? Their common enemy is already living among them and they’re doing nothing about it — just like in America.

Funny how some people want socialists to arm up. This was a plan that the US once put the kibosh on.

The Bundeswehr has been close behind US deployments in terms of worldwide distribution for quite a few years.

It’s called a “beneficial crisis”. Obama has been building the same thing. All about militarizing the home front and destroying liberty.

That line sounds suspiciously like the baloney spewed by the ole hippie generation. It's all B.S.

The EU faces no military threat. Their military is just a spending program and a matter of national tradition. They Gabe a military because they’ve always had a military.
Their only threat is the millions of moslem thugs they are importing, and they won’t stop doing that. But they’ll have a eurofighter out over the north sea.

Who really knows how long or how fiercely they've been fighting Islam. You certainly don't expect to get the TRUTH of our/any media, do you?

The media tells us EXACTLY what they want us to know...and if it's from the NEWSROOM, welllllll, it has to be The Truth, doesn't it?

Yeah, we couldn’t have done anything recently without the heavy lifting of the Germans. /s

German participation is mainly intended to give German and NATO officers joint command staff punches on their tickets.

There are many videos out there that show what is happening.

This is one example:

No need to set up an expensive alarm system and then leave your back door open.

Videos are as particular as any written news story.

When do we get the video that led up to the event? When do we get to see the ramifications/consequences of the event?
We get to see them ONLY if they are GERMANE to what the media want us to know.
It's ALL a PACKAGE!!
*We neither read or see entire stories because that is a manipulation we SHOULD be aware of.
*You SERIOUSLY don't think that the camera folk take the ENTIRE STORY, do you? We get snippets germane ONLY to what the media wants us to see and hear.

¿No puede verlo? ¿No entiede esto?
Usted se llama ellatón--no "laplata."
