Germany’s defence minister has confirmed that “a united EU military is becoming a reality,” after her ally and Chancellor Angela Merkel backed Emmanuel Macron’s call for a “real European army.”

“Europe’s army is already taking shape,” Ursula von der Leyen wrote in an opinion piece for Handelsblatt on Thursday.

“Germany and France are the driving forces in defense,” Ms von der Leyen boasted, adding that “We’re moving even further ahead with our close partner France” after the two countries agreed to sign a “new Elysèe Treaty” which, amongst other efforts to, in effect, merge aspects of the two countries, includes common defense.

A common European defence force was labelled a “dangerous fantasy” by remain campaigners during the 2016 Brexit referendum, after Eurosceptics had warned that continued membership of the bloc would entail being pulled into an EU army.

....

German Chancellor Angela Merkel enthusiastically backed her French globalist ally, saying, “What is really important, if we look at the developments of the past year, is that we have to work on a vision of one day creating a real, true European army,” with Brussels bureaucrats expressed their “delight” that France and Germany were taking the lead.

We still have more than we need here. Leave the middle east markets.

I agree entirely. Defending those America hating Euroweenies for over sixty years is long enough. They've spent next to nothing on their own defense all the while building up their industries. Two generations of my family fought for Europe's freedom and now they're letting it go to hell, allowing Islam to subjugate them.

It would be hard to call the USA isolationist if we had a 1,000 ship Navy. We don’t need no stinking bases.

The UN “soldiers” wear blue — will the EU “army” wear pink??

In the Spartan armies, you couldn’t Sue for harassment and the training regimen killed some people. It wasn’t like today’s military. You had to prove yourself a tough and ruthless warrior. That’s not like today’s political correctness. The Spartans wouldn’t tolerate anti-war protesters at home, at all, period.
