The woman largely expected to take over as chancellor of Germany has echoed calls by her mentor Angela Merkel and French ally Emmanuel Macron for a “European army” to avoid becoming a “plaything” of Russia, China, and the United States on the global stage.
Dr Merkel’s successor as leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (also referred to as AKK) made the comments on Tuesday during a speech in the EU capital Brussels where she outlined her party’s campaign themes ahead of May’s European Parliament elections.

We’ve seen Germany marching towards a confrontation for decades...
RE: Future German Leader Calls for EU Army
You know, I kinda like the idea. Why should the US keep shouldering their defense?
Any “EU army” won’t be a plaything because it will be a JOKE.
RE: We’ve seen Germany marching towards a confrontation for decades...
My only concern with an EU Army is this — Who is going to be IN the army?
The EU is being swarmed with Middle Eastern types and their own population is not growing while the Middle Eastern immigrants have two to three times their birth rate.
Not long from now, we might practically have a Muslim army. Then what?
Germany fought 2 wars to get control of Europe and now they’ve done it without firing a shot
As they rely on Russia for oil.
Reading some of the reports about the combat performance of Germany’s Armored Brigade in Syria, probably not. Mechanical breakdowns, lack of spare parts, long down times, and lack of proficiency by the vehicle crews were well publicized. And that was supposed to be one of their “best” units. Also heard a report that their diesel-electric sub fleet has been out of commission for maintenance and overhauls for a couple of years and that will be the case for another 1 or 2. Doenitz and Rommel are probably registering on a seismograph in Central Europe...
Good Begin brining home US troops tomorrow.
The EU together is the largest economy in the world, or close to it.
Why does the USA need to subsidize their defense any longer? All we are doing is enabling their expensive, leftist, social-engineering schemes.
Why wait? Kick the out of NATO today.
Just one itsy, bitsy problem there Kanzlerin. Armies require soldiers, equipment, facilities, etc., and all that takes money. Money your government has refused to spend. You think your buddy Macron is gonna let you free ride on him?
Yep. We should leave now.
Fourth Reich rises. First thru the EUroNazi regime in Brussels (and the EUroNazi central bank in Frankfurt)
now an EuroNazi military...
we are witnessing history
If Germany wants another war with us, I say we deliver it right this very minute.
Poland better keep an eye on their border.
An EU army might be about the only army left standing and in good order in a post Ezekiel 38/39 world.
Ha. Plaything? You know you are Mohammed’s plaything sweetheart.
Poland would kick the ever loving s*ht out of every EU country combined in a week.
Poland would do a much better job this time.
