-Even she is not that bone crushingly stupid so there is some other agenda that she is pushing with this ridiculous request-
I suspect she is indeed that stupid. This is one of the problems of electing leaders who are expected to command their military but have zero military experience. One of Bill Clinton-s advisors said there was no problem stopping all expenditures on fighter planes and bombers because during World War II we ramped up in a short time from making almost no planes to making forty thousand planes a year. There is a special stupidity required to be a liberal.
The EU governs by crisis, so there is something behind this.
