Well, von der Leyen felt that she had to lie about it, so that makes it more bad news than it already is.

Well. If they do this, they essentially prove Trump right. We’re not going to pick up the costs for a EU military; nor should we.

The EU is suicidal. An army, probably controlled by Germany, probably filled with their mideastern migrants. WHAT COULD GO WRONG ???

While I agree with them, I don’t see how the UK has a say in this, having opted out of the oozing monstrosity known as the eu.

Why do I think an EU army is more about preventing more Brexits than it is about a common defense?

European Union nations pressed ahead Tuesday with plans to boost military cooperation as Britain vowed to oppose the creation of an EU army or headquarters.

If Britain is leaving the EU then why do they care about the EU army? It isn't like they're going to have to contribute to it.

Good. So NATO is not needed any more.

Time to pack it up. Let the Europeans run their own statist, social-engineering schemes.

Von der Leyen insisted that “it’s not about a European army.” …

Then what is it? The Fourth Reich flexing muscle?

The cynic in me construes this Franco-German military alliance as an eventual Muslim Military by proxy. Prodded along by Saudi finances bribes.

Fine - then US should pull out all our troops in those countries that are defending them - especially Germany.

That would save us tons of money, better spent of rebuilding our military - and leaving them to their own devices - and especially since Merkel has announced plans to train up and arm the Syrian ‘refugees’ in Germany ‘so they can learn how to fight and go back to protect their country” -

What a great idea...what could possibly go wrong?

It does not sound as if the EU is planning on major increases in military spending. So this sounds like it won’t amount to much more than buying some new patches and creating a new headquarters that will undoubtedly be a nice place for the assigned staffers to live.
