Angela Merkel called for the creation of a 'real, true' European army during a speech to EU ministers on Tuesday in a rebuke to President Trump.
The German Chancellor also called for a European Security Council that would be responsible for coordinating defence policy on the continent.
Merkel spoke out after French President Emmanuel Macron floated the same idea last week, drawing the ire of President Donald Trump.

/src on/Germany has lots of experience leading a Pan-European army, just ask the Italians, Romanians, Hungarians and the Waffen SS./src off/.

Why is there 1 US soldier in Europe? The EU with 508 MM people and around $20 trillion in annual GDP has more than enough resources to deter Russia.

Please! Go right ahead! Then we can move our bases to Poland and Hungary and pull back our commitments substantially.
Would LOVE to see how the rest of Europe will take to a German led military!

I’m sure the continent wants a resurgent and heavily armed Germany.

You can bet it will be full of Muslims, who will use it as an instrument of Jihad.
That was actually Hitler’s wish. That Islam would take over Europe so that the Germans could be the standard-bearers, he felt it was a much better religion for soldiers.

Russia was never their target.
The Kaiser’s dream of “a United States of Europe against America” is still alive a century later.

Exactly. What is she thinking? The UK will want nothing of it and well, the Italians will love and drink and eat and the French will retreat and surrender. Unless she’s looking for the 4th Reich.

This seems to be the process they are going down:
- Establish a standing EU army.
- Dissolve armies of individual EU member nations in favor of some token national guard.
- Dissolve NATO since member nations no longer have armies
- Rule Europe from Brussels with an Iron fist, crush all future "exit" moves in the cradle, prosper! Or so they think.

Will it be German led or Muslim led European army? Maybe a more serious threat.

A German Empire Army to face the United States.
That’s a great idea.

President Trump must be smiling “yuge” at this news. He can close all bases in Western Europe and can simply state that he is honouring the wishes of the EU. This will save billions.
