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.

LOL. Do you write comedy for a living? It was reported last week the Germans are cutting their military budget and laughing in Trump’s face. The “EU army” only exists because those other countries slashed their military. Then Putin started shooting and they look like idiots so sudden the “EU Army” is born. The only target the EU Army will ever attack with is Google or Facebook HQ. Guaranteed.
What do you think the Gilets Jaunes uproar is all about? Macron is dead meat with the very people who elected him. Dismiss Marine Le Pen at your peril. After years of marginality under her father, she has made great inroads. Le Front Nationale has a new face. Pay attention to it. The youngsters are.
Germany building an army is a joke. They are only good for peacekeeping missions with the UN wearing a blue helmet. They’re not allowed to serve in a war zone where things may get a bit hot. Germany, The Netherlands and Slovenia have how many aircraft carriers?
