Ursula von der Leyen also promised to revise budgetary norms and financial rule in the EU that are controlled by the European Commission

LONDON, March 2. /TASS/. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called for urgently rearming Europe.

"We urgently have to rearm Europe and for that I will present a comprehensive plan of how to rearm Europe" at a European Council meeting on March 6, she told journalists after a meeting of European leaders in London.

"We have to surge our defense," she said, adding that Europe must "step up massive defense expenditure." She also promised to revise budgetary norms and financial rule in the European Union that are controlled by the European Commission to give the EU countries more possibilities for government investments into weapons production.

It’ll take a decade since they don’t have any infrastructure to speak of and, at best, had nothing more than a modest infrastructure since WW2.

Isn’t this what President Trump wants Europe to do?

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen

Another unelected position in Brussels. It must be nice to never have to face the wrath of voters.

Hahahaha. Z and the EU thought his scripted temper tantrum would work on Trump. Now we hear the collective ‘gulp’ from the EU.

Well, they've had eight years to rearm themselves. It's not as if President Trump failed to pressure them to rearm. They just responded by giggling because they know better then those gauche Americans.

Stupid bitch playing war games with young men’s lives. If I was an 18 year old in Europe, she’d be the first thing I aimed my weapon at.

The good news: this will save the U.S. tens of billions.

The bad news: these new armies and weapons will all be Islamic within 20 years.

Yes.

Good in the short run.

Incredibly dangerous in the long run.

Turkey will be the big winner. They’ll eventually control the Black Sea, and take it from Ukraine.

Within the last few years, Australia opted to use, purchase submarines from the United States. Australia had been in negotiations with France to purchase the submarines. When the Aussies opted for USA, France was not happy.

Perhaps this European re-arming will result in more contracts with American firms. Wouldn’t that be delicious.

We’ve been saying for decades that Europe needs to increase its defense spending. Now that they say it too, you are criticizing that? Maybe you should share what you want them to do.

They are the home country replacements for the Englishmen who will be sent off to be slaughtered by the North Koreans.

WWI started the end of Europe.

This will finish the job.
