French President Emmanuel Macron has reiterated calls for a European Union army, this time saying that it is needed to protect the bloc from China, Russia, and even the United States.
The progressive leader, a proponent of greater EU federalisation which will result in the reduction in sovereignty for European nations, told Europe 1 Monday night that the bloc needs a real European army. We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America, Macron said, according to Agence France-Presse.

We will not protect the Europeans unless we decide to have a true European army, he said while on a tour of the former Western Front in Verdun, northeast France, to commemorate the centenary of World War One a war in which some 116,000 Americans lost their lives defending Europe, including at the Second Battle of the Somme in 1918 which resulted in an Allied battle victory at the cost of 15,034 United States, and 5,600 British Empire lives.

In August, Macron called for defence divergence from the United States, then including current French foe Russia as those the centrist premier counted as possible European defence partners.

Yup, spoken like a man.
Good. Then pull out all US troops. My expert guess is this army will be used most likely against Poland and Hungary to force them to accept more Muslims.
Who was born April 20 that wanted a universal army?
Just like Napoleon's Pan-European Grande Armée.
My sentiments.
I wonder if Macron got permission from mommy to say this?
That implies that Europe has something WE want or need.... NOT
Cough! Cough! (Iraq, Afghan)Cough! Cough!
Who was born April 20 that wanted a universal army?.............You really don’t know? Napoleon and Hitler, One big Europe, one big Euro Army. Hitler had one when he fought Russia. The German Army contained many Divisions from all over occupied Europe.
Even had Vlasov's army of Russians fighting for him.
Our leftists are jealous European leftists are generous with social spending - primarily because ALL EU countries can depend on the US defense security. Imagine how much $$$ they would each have to spend for defense if their security wasn't guaranteed by the American taxpayer.
You buy an army. You buy a navy. You buy and air force.
Well it looks like a clarion call for US out of the EU and finally close the NATO chapter. Would our current NATO troops be seen as enemy troops stationed in EU countries ? Close the bases, bring the troops home and let the EU finally protect and pay 100% for themselves. The frog prince thinks they are ready so let them do it, save the money for the wall.
he married a woman who could have been his mother
Yeah, and Trump married a woman who could be his daughter.
.......
Youre right.
Trump made a better choice!
No NATO for you, commie
Lol! The Frogs cant even control the Muslims in their country and they want to raise a European Army????
I think its time to pull the troops out of Europe.
Well, Harriman at State certainly thought so, back in the day.
Anyow this great thing called Europe is a bureaucratic concoction to eliminate real peoples and real nations.
Euroweenies need another lesson...
No more WH invites to him or his old lady.
Your point is...?
