I never said the Brits elected May. I said she is responsible for the FUBAR exit. She should have listened to Trump on how to make a deal. Nevertheless, Germany is not going to get an EU Army because they won’t pay for it and nobody else will either. The strongest Military in Europe is that of France and France will never turn over their Military to Germany. Too many Frenchmen have long memories. 1870-71, 1914-1918, 1939-1945! Every town in France has a memorial to their war dead and believe me they are not forgotten.
Oh, they will absolutely pay for their own military and have expressed the desire thereof. Just takes a certain type of leader. All the pieces are already in place too in the Treaty of Lisbon, and the Bundeswehr has even been taking over parts of the military of the Netherlands, Slovenia and certain other countries adjacent to them as the beginnings of a EU military. They actually want NATO gone because it keeps them down.
Also take note of how subservient France’s Macron is to Germany. In order for them to reassert their own identity, they need a very anti-EU leader, but it doesn’t look like they’ll get one because there aren’t any in existence; their entire political spectrum is pro-EU.
