France and Germany are to forge shared defence, foreign and economic policies in an unprecedented “twinning” arrangement regarded as a prototype for the future of the European Union.

This month Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron will sign a treaty that paves the way for the two nations to present a united diplomatic front to the world and to mount joint peacekeeping missions in conflict zones. Both countries will lobby for Germany to receive a permanent seat on the UN security council, alongside France, the US, China, Russia and Britain, the leading Allied powers on the winning side at the end of the Second World War.

France and Germany also intend to speak with one voice in Brussels, drawing up common positions before pivotal EU summits…

Well now. Who could have guessed this would happen?

[dfwgator]

Pierre Laval is smiling from Hell.

[Texas Fossil]

There does not appear to be a 2nd source for this. I looked. sorry the excerpt is so short.

[Sacajaweau]

Hitler had his way. Merkel has her way. France is making a terrible mistake.

[mass55th]

France capitulates to Germany. What a surprise.

[rigelkentaurus]

If they are going to speak with one voice, and France is already on the UNSC, then there is no point adding Germany.

[Londo Molari]

This already happened in 1940, right?

[dfwgator]

France is making a terrible mistake.

[JimRed]

Germany to attack, France to surrender?

[C210N]

What a great idea?

How about joining police forces too, while you are at it?

That way, you could have French police control German protests, while German police control French protests! What could possibly go wrong!?

[Captain Compassion]

Wow. I suspect that the rest of the EU should be afraid. Be very afraid.

[Vigilanteman]

You remember when the last Concorde flight full of German tourists crashed in France? One smart alec told me the French killed more Germans in that crash than in all of World War II.

Anyway, if Germany gets a permanent security council seat on the UN, then so should Japan.

[Yo-Yo]

What two World Wars couldn’t accomplish, a single stroke of the pen does.

[P-Marlowe]

Just like 1940 all over again. Shall we refer to them as the New AXIS power?

[smvoice]

Another pit stop on the road to Tribulationville

[knarf]

BOOJIT !!!

This is the beginning of the muzzie takeover of all of Europe.

BOTH of these countries are hopelessly muslim now

[HombreSecreto]

They did that in 1940 as well, not impressed.

[RoosterRedux]

But what does France actually bring to the table?

[datricker]

Queue the Imperial March - the cowards and surrender monkeys join forces.

[dfwgator]

How about joining police forces too, while you are at it?
