There is a problem with the US ramping down on NATO and getting European countries to start paying their way.

As long as the USA was being the policeman, the EU countries neglected their military. This also gave the USA far more leverage.

By withdrawing from NATO, this opens the door for the EU countries to form this "EU army" and get a closer EU, less a confederation and more towards a state - which I do not think is a good idea.

All actions have consequences.

Europe can go to hell. Let them have their own army. Under no circumstances do I think the US military should be involved in Europe unless it’s go over there and stomp on their new EU army.

Well, time for the US to drop out of NATO, like now.

A passive threat aimed at the US.

Not biting. Good luck Europe.

Here’s the thing, I doubt there are many men in Europe who would actually want to defend Europe.

Just like the USA, they see their country’s getting invaded by millions of illegal alien’s, and the politicians care more about the illegals than the citizens. Who would want to defend that?

Let the fags join the EU Army and see how far they get before being raped by Muslims. The very idea of a EU Army brings visions of a skinny limp wrist soy boy in a dress and high heel shoes (just like Zelensky). /spit

This is a great plan. If the EU wants to go to war with Russia, it should spend the money, recruit the troops and pay for themselves and leave us out of it.

The EU Army could be a formidable force. That is if they can stop the troops from getting stoned.

The EU as it stands as roughly equivalent to the Articles of Confederation era United States. Creating a standing pan European army is a logical step on the path to a United States of Europe.

given how Nazified the EU is, the Italian is (possibly inadvertedly) asking for an armed 4th Reich

the problem with a EU army is that they would be fighting amongst themselves quite frequently.

and they have always been at war with east asia.

First, the Europeans would have to actually get serious about providing for their own defense.

Get back to me when that happens because I see no evidence that it ever will.

So, what am I missing? 90% of Germans won’t fight for their country and prefer that American boys fight for them and die for them?????

Any President that sends troops to fight for a low life population like that should be impeached in one week and thrown into Maximum Security at Florence, Colorado.
